Living Water
A symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ and his teachings. As water is essential to sustain physical life, the Savior and his teachings (living water) are essential for eternal life.
"The
Samaritan woman liked the idea of never having to drink again.
Certainly, she wouldn’t miss the daily labor of carrying the heavy water
jars from the well to her home. But when Christ testified to her that
He was the Messiah and when the Spirit confirmed to her that it was
true, she began to comprehend that Jesus was speaking of greater truths.
She left the well water behind and hurried away to seek others who
might come and listen. I doubt, however, at least at that point, that
she fully understood—or whether we fully understand—what it means to
have a wellspring of living water within us.
Living water heals. It nourishes and sustains. It brings peace and joy."Blessed by Living Water by Kathleen H. Hughes
Today in Sunday School we learned about a prophecy in Ezekiel about living water. Ezekiel 47:1-8

". . . just as the waters from the temple healed the Judean wilderness and
the Dead Sea in Ezekiel’s vision, the gospel of Jesus Christ will heal
and cleanse us if we will partake of it."
