Drink the Water of Eternal Life

(John 4:9-26)

Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim

God
is eternal life.
He
gave the world living water that lasts forever.
This is Jesus Christ, who is His Word (1 Cor 10:1-4).
The water from the world enters the body but you will become thirsty again.
The living water given from God enters the spirit and is eternal life (Jn 6:48-51).
Those who are thirsty need water,
but those who are thirsty for eternal life drink the water of eternal life.
Jesus Christ’ words are spirit and life (Jn 4:12-14).
Therefore,
His disciples said, “Who shall we go to if we leave the words of eternal life?”
and they confessed they would not leave Jesus’ words (Jn 6:68).
The prophecies of the Law and Prophets will be set aside (Mt 11:13),
for they are not the words of eternal life.
Only Jesus’ words will last forever (Jn 6:63).
Accordingly,
God gave the command, “Listen to Him” (Mt 17:5),
and Jesus gave the command, “Believe Me” (Jn 4:21).
Those who love Him will keep His commands,
and He will send the Holy Spirit – who is the Advocate (Jn 14:15-16).
He reveals the truth which will never lead to thirst (Jn 14:26).
○ Since God is spirit,
those who worship should worship in spirit
and God seeks those who worship in spirit.
○ Those who worship by the Holy Spirit and truth have life.
This is why God sent His Son to the world.
○ Do not seek Mount Sinai or Jerusalem anymore
but believe and follow Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the living water who lasts forever. He is the truth who saves.
※ Let’s have true faith in Jesus.
As the deeds and words of Jesus are truth,
let’s offer a true worship containing the truth.
