“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.’”  John 7:37
 
Scripture has much to say about water, let’s focus on the living water.
In our opening verse Jesus is at the Feast of Tabernacles and in the middle of the feast He be began teaching.  During the teaching He gives the  invitation to all ‘to come to Me and drink’.
 
Note: In Isaiah 55:1 the invitation was given out to all,
“Ho!  Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat,
Yes, come buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.”
 
About this water we see--
Christ is the source:
“Jesus answered and said to her, ‘If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.’”  John 4:10
 
Our opening verse speaks of thirst.  If you have ever been thirsty, you know the great need for a drink of water!  Our verse then suggests that this living water will satisfy our deepest needs.
 
The supply is inexhaustible:
This is the Revelation given to John on Patmos.
“For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and led them to living fountains of waters…”  Revelation 7:17
 
And in Revelation 22:1-2,  
We see that this water makes life fruitful:
“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the middle of the street, and on either side of the river was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month.  And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
 
The call to come is a universal call:
“And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’  And let him who hears say ‘Come!’  And let him who thirsts come,  And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”  Revelation 22:17
 
The invitation to come and drink was given in The Old Testament, The New Testament and in the final chapter of written Scripture.  The call clearly tells us to come empty handed.  The cost has been paid in the Blood of the Lamb of God; Jesus Christ who died for all sin.  Being sinless, the grave could not hold Him!  He has risen!  All who believe He is the Son of God and believes in, trusts in and relies on Him will not perish, but has eternal life. 
 
So Come!  All who read this message and have not tasted salvation.  Come to Jesus and drink the water of life that is so freely offered.
 
Water is necessary for natural life.  We die without it!  Thank you gracious God for supplying that great need.  Oh God, our Father, thank you beyond measure for the free flowing water of life that comes from the Godhead filling our spiritual thirst!  We love because You first loved us!  We thank You.  We adore and honor You.  We give You all the glory!  Amen
 
A song we sing in our Fellowship is: ‘Come to the City’ it’s an invitation and the first verse says:
  “Come to the city where the Lamb is the light,
   Come to the city of God.
  Taste of the tree and the river of life.
  Come to the city of God.”
