I look out at the river flowing by and see the water flowing from His pierced side. For you, for me. It's a sunny day here, but at that moment darkness covered the earth, because evil was still trying hard to win out.
"I thirst," He had said. Ironic, those words coming from the lips of the Living Water. But He had to take the bitter herbs offered to Him for us, after the pain of all those lashes, to drink to the dregs the punishment we all deserve and in His purity He didn't. And then it was finished, the price of sin paid for all time.
But just to make sure, the soldier pierced His side, and out flowed that river of living water promised to the woman at the well, that "well of water springing up ... for eternal life." Mingled with the blood of the perfect Passover Lamb, it left His flawless side to spring up in our flawed selves.
What will we do with it? Our eternity depends on that one choice! ✝️
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
