Isaiah 12:2-3 Behold, God is my salvation (Yeshua in
Hebrew), I will trust and not be afraid; 'For the LORD JEHOVAH, is my
strength and song; He also has become my salvation (Yeshua). Therefore with
joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation (Yeshua).
John 7:37-38 On the last day, the great day of the
feast, Yeshua (Jesus) stood and cried out, saying, "If any man thirsts, let
him come to Me, and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has
said, "out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
During the Feast of Sukkot, the Jewish people took part in
a water drawing ceremony on the last day of the feast. They would go down
to the Pool of Siloam, draw water and bring it to the Temple Mount. Then
they would pour out the water and recite Isaiah 12, "and with joy you shall
draw water out of the wells (springs) of salvation." In Hebrew, the word
salvation and Yeshua (Jesus, in Hebrew), are the same.
Imagine the scene at the time of Yeshua's appearance. It is likely
that in the midst of this ceremony, He stood up and proclaimed, "If anyone
is thirsty, let Him come to Me and drink." He who believes in Me as the
Scripture said, "from His innermost being shall flow rivers of living
water."
This promise is true for us today. Our
Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever. He did not promise a
sprinkling or a tiny stream. He promised rivers of living water. Claim this
promise today -- claim the fullness of life in Him. Draw from Him the peace
that passes all understanding. Draw from Him pure love -- agape love. Draw
from Him the joy that makes the trees clap. Draw all that you need, but in
order to draw from Him -- you must go to Him. One cannot draw water from a
spring unless one goes to the spring. Go to the spring that never runs dry
-- go to your spring of Yeshua! (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
