Here is an invitation in the passage before us. There will be another one in chapter 8. There will be a number of invitations right on down to the very end of his ministry.
But here is one of what I think is the most dramatic and remarkable of illustrations. There are a few more like this. He who believes in me, as the Scripture said, from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water. This is not the first time he has made such an invitation.
Drink of this water, and you will never thirst again. In a land where water was scarce, a very dry land, water was a great commodity to express the work of salvation, the benefit of salvation to a thirsty soul. So this is a striking invitation. There was a context for the woman at the well. There was a real well and real water, and he played off of that to talk about the water that will satisfy a soul.
And that soul will never thirst again. But I want to talk just a little bit about the matter of this invitation to begin with. Admiring Jesus, being impressed by Jesus, watching Jesus from afar, saying kind things about him is insufficient.
It puts a person, in the end, in the same Hell as the people who hated Jesus, who hate him now, invitation to john pdf free download, who reject him, who were guilty of his death even in Jerusalem at the Crucifixion. Admiring Jesus is not sufficient to grant eternal life. Some kind of superficial commendation of Jesus is not enough. The question is: what will you do with his invitations? What will you do with his invitations? Six months after this, there is an incident that happens before the Judean governor, established there by the Romans, named Pilate.
You will remember the story. He is really caught in a vice. On the one side, he has a blood-thirsty crowd who are screaming for him to murder Jesus. On the other side of the vice, is his own conscience screaming at him and aided and abetted by what his wife told him — not to have anything to do with this innocent man. So in an effort to sort of avoid the trap that he is in, he makes an invitation to the Jewish people. Release Barabbus. What shall I do with Jesus Christ?
Crucify him. That expression on that day during Passion Week was the final declaration of what the people of Israel had done with all of the invitations of Jesus. They had rejected them all. All the grand and glorious, magnificent, hopeful invitations to salvation and eternal life that Jesus had daily offered them for over three years of ministry, finally they reject and cry for his execution.
Backing up to our passage. He is still making invitations, and invitation to john pdf free download will through those final six months. He is still telling people to come to him to receive salvation by believing in him. Then I go to him who sent me.
And you will seek me. And will not find me and where I am. You cannot come. So here, in the face of that little bit of time, a few months, one more potent, powerful invitation, invitation to john pdf free download.
And he has repeatedly said there is no salvation apart from him. No one comes to the Father but by me. What will you do with Jesus Christ? That is an exceptionally important time indicator. The Feast of Booths was one of the three main feasts of Judaism. Pentecost, Passover, and Tabernacles are Booths. At this feast, they celebrated the wilderness wanderings for 40 years when they lived in tents and booths and temporary housing that they moved as they migrated around the wilderness for those four decades.
During that period of time, God protected them, preserved them, gave them food and drink. Finally, that ended with a generation dying and a few entering into the land of promise, the Canaan land, and the birth of the nation of Israel, invitation to john pdf free download.
They were in that feast. The last day. Very significant. Let me tell you why. Every day of the feast, there was a ritual that was repeated. As far as we can tell from history, it was repeated every day. And this is what happened, invitation to john pdf free download. They are to get the branches. They are to take the branches, and they are to use those branches to create booths to commemorate the wilderness wandering and the temporary housing remembering the goodness of God.
That had developed into a very very special kind of ritual. The Pharisees had instructed the people to all bring their branches, at each particular time of every day during the feast, to the main altar and to surround that altar and put up their boughs and their branches to create a kind of makeshift covering over the altar.
This was in the temple area. Every day of the festival, thousands upon thousands, invitation to john pdf free download, tens of thousands of people were there, and they would come, and they would create this covering of palm branches, willow branches, and other kinds of thick trees. They would form this kind of covering around the altar. The altar is then in the midst of this covering with all invitation to john pdf free download people surrounding it — those holding the branches and those beyond.
The high priest would then go to the Pool of Siloam by prescription. And he had a golden pitcher in his hand, and he would dip it in the water of the Pool of Siloam. And he would come back, and he would pour the water out on the altar as a remembrance of God providing the waters for the people of Israel at Meribah out of the rock.
And when he poured the water, historians tell us, the people were invitation to john pdf free download — by the way, he came back through the water gate, which was so named because people invitation to john pdf free download water through it, invitation to john pdf free download. So the whole ceremony remembers the wilderness wandering. The water, then, comes to the altar in the hand of the priest.
It is poured out. And when it is poured out, and the people have recited the passage from Isaiah, they were required then to sing the Hallel. The Levitical choir would start the Hallel is sung They would sing Psalms I told you in the beginning of the chapter, when we first arrived at this feast, that it was the most celebratory of all the Jewish feasts. It was the celebration. They also added to the celebration a prayer for more water that God would send rain. Now what makes this especially important on the last day, is that on the last day, before pouring out the water, the people marched around the altar seven times.
To commemorate the march around what city? The city of Jericho because that spelled the end of the wilderness wandering. Let him come to me. He must have positioned himself in the right place. He wants to be heard. And in the drama of that moment, no doubt, he picked a moment when everybody was sort of holding their breath at the drama of the celebration. Come to me for water that quenches your soul. So Jesus uses that analogy now for the third time really in the Gospel of John. They really generally correspond to what the Medieval Latin fathers used to call notitia, fiducia, and assensus, the three elements necessary for saving faith.
The first tells of a recognized need: thirst. They were always universal. They were always open-ended. Thirst is a conscious craving. We feel it, and the more thirst increases, the more anxious a person becomes.
In fact, there can actually be a kind of madness that sets in if you cannot get a drink as you become more and more seriously thirsty. A longing for deliverance, longing for hope, longing for peace, longing for forgiveness, for salvation, for liberation from the power of sin. It starts with that craving.
Then the consciousness, the acute consciousness of that craving. Do you understand that? Because their souls are empty. Seeing him as the only source of soul satisfying, nourishing, living water, invitation to john pdf free download.
