A New Heaven and a New Earth - "Water" for the Thirsty Ones

"Water" for the Thirsty Ones

 It is Jehovah himself who declares:  "To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free." (Revelation 21:6b) To quench that thirst, a person has to be conscious of his spiritual need and be willing  to accept "the water" that Jehovah provides.  (Isaiah 55:1; Matthew 5:3)  What "water"?  Jesus himself answered  that question when  witnessing to a woman beside a well in Samaria.  He told her:   "Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that  I will give him will become in him a fountain of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life."  That "fountain of the water of life" flows  from God through Christ as his provision for restoring mankind to perfection of life.  Like the Samaritan woman, how eager we should be to drink deep from that fountain!  And like that woman, how ready we should be to drop mundane interests in favor of telling others the good news! -John 4:14, 15, 28, 29.
