Bible Question: Is the water the preached word of god? |
Bible Answer: Hi, cem... John the Revelator is quoting the Lord, who is employing the regularly used motif of water and thirst we see throughout Scripture (cf John 4:14-15; Isaiah 55:1; Joel 3:18, etc.). We are parched and thirsty with sin and fear of wrath, we long for grace and comfort (Psalm 42:1-2). Christ Himself is the fountain of living waters (Jeremiah 2:13). However, the preaching of the Word, or the Holy Spirit, or salvation are not individually intended here. Instead, our Lord speaks of the totality of that which is needed for spiritual life (2 Peter 1:3) for the redeemed -- for those He calls in the following verse (Revelation 2:17) overcomers and sons.
