Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – June 16, 2025 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) John 4:10 – Jesus replied and said to her, “If you knew about the gift of God, and Who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would give you living water.” Living Water Although the Samaritan woman does not seem to understand what Jesus means by living water, the symbolism is not foreign to Scripture. God referred to Himself as the fountain of living water (Jeremiah 2:13, 17:13). He also made it known by the prophet Isaiah that there were wells of salvation from which men could draw out water (Isaiah 12:3). Jesus identifies Himself as the well, or the fountain, from where this water is supplied (John 7:37-39; Exodus 17:6; Psalms 78:15, 105:14; 1 Corinthians 10:4). The water of life is available to anyone who asks, even to a Samaritan woman who is steeped in sin. As a result of drinking the living water, the one who drinks also becomes a fountain from where the living water springs up. The living water in the heart of those who receive becomes a fountain springing up and a river flowing forth, forever supplying a continual flow of the Spirit, so that those who have it will never thirst for that which cannot satisfy ever again (John 4:10-14, 7:37-39).
