John 410-14

• 10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of
  God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you
  would have asked him and he would have given you
  living water."
• 11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to
  draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get
  this living water?

John 410-14

• 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who
  gave us the well and drank from it himself, as
  did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
• 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this
  water will be thirsty again,

John 410-14

• 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will
  never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will
  become in him a spring of water welling up to
  eternal life."

• Living water refers to water that flows as
  in a spring, river, or stream, that is, moving
  water. Other water stood still, and one could
  find it in a well, cistern, or pond. Living
  water was precious and valued and, according to
  rabbinic law, was the only water that could be
  used in ritual washings to make pure unclean
  worshippers.

• Drinking Jesus living water is not simply an
  experience that changes our state (such as a
  state of salvation), but it is a dynamic
  experience that makes life as living as the water
  itself.

Jeremiah 213

• My people have committed two sins They
  have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and
  have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that
  cannot hold water.
