“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14).
When we’re wandering through life spiritually parched and thirsty, Jesus is waiting to give us a long, cool drink to quench our thirst. Water is a basic necessity to sustain physical life, which is why He chose this analogy to make this important point to the people.

“Then Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst” (John 6:32, 35).
When Moses led the people through the wilderness, God gave them food to eat, but they eventually became hungry again. Jesus is now our living bread that sustains us.

“‘I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.’ So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel” (Exodus 17:6, NIV).
Everything in the Old Testament points us to Jesus Christ; this reference to water is one example. When the people were wandering in the wilderness, God gave them water to drink to keep them alive; this was a foreshadowing of Jesus, who is the living water for all those who accept Him.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Under the covenant of the law, the people had to work hard for God’s approval; breaking any of the commandments was punishable by death. Jesus’ death and resurrection shifted the focus from the old works-based covenant to the new covenant of grace, which focuses on life in Him.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
Believers have power that comes from the spiritual realm, where all things originate before being manifested in the physical realm. God is love and His Spirit drives out all fear; renewing our minds to the point where we internalize this takes our Christian walk to a higher level.

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
One of the benefits of trusting in the finished works of Jesus is that we receive the same power and authority that God gave Him. As Jesus’ 21st century disciples, we’ve been equipped for the mission the same way Jesus equipped His twelve disciples.

“And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:17, 18, NKJV).
We live in an external environment that believes only what can be physically seen, but the power we receive when we walk with Jesus is manifested entirely by faith in Him. This ability is real, and it yields real results.

“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease” (Matthew 10:1).
The world thinks of Christians as weak, passive, helpless people, but believers are the exact opposite. Jesus gave us the same authority that He received from the Father; this enables us to overcome what regularly defeats others.

“Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen” (Proverbs 25:6, 7).
A humble attitude is a characteristic pleasing to God. The world doesn’t understand true humility, but it’s a trait Jesus demonstrated repeatedly during His earthly ministry.
