The Living Water and The Feast of Tabernacles

 "It was the last day of the feast." The 7 th chapter of John verse 37-38 refer to when" Jesus stands up and speaks with a loud voice, If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the scripture has said, streams of Living water will flow from within him.

John goes on to say Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit which hadn't been given yet.
       I was reading a book called "The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah" by Alfred Edersheim, and the author refers to different rabbinical writings and historical writings.
        What I found interesting was the timing of Jesus, because He waits till the part of the feast where a priest has poured out a vessel of water that has been taken from the pool of Siloam (means "sent"). The people recite some psalms called the great "Hallel" (Psalm 113 to Psalm 118) and call upon God to work salvation.
        He waits till the ceremony is done and then proclaims it's fufillment as being in relationship to Himself. In the ceremony a drink offering of wine was first poured out. Let us not forget that the pouring out of Jesus blood was first and always should be first to the receiving the blessing of the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Breaking Though the Darkness
Picture
This painting was created during a worship service last night. Last week a visiting speaker said that he had a word for our church and the word was breakthrough. At the time I had already gotten the idea for painting and was working on prelim drawings. Last night it came together under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I haven't cleaned it up yet and I call it "Breaking through the Darkness".
      Biblical spiritual darkness is always related to sin. The ten commandments and Jesus's commentary them help us to understand that sin is not only the things we do, ie adultery, murder and stealing, but even our attitudes of our heart, ie hate, lust and unforgiveness. The problem is that we will be judged. But God in His love has provided His own Son, who was innocent of sin, to be our substitute.
This is important because the bible says "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".   
       He has shattered the wall of sin with His own death, are you willing to turn from your sin and embrace His forgiveness. The best thing to do is humble yourself before Him and allow Him to lead you to this fountain of Living water.
