Water—is a central image in the Bible, a powerful symbol of life, cleansing, refreshment, and renewal. So we find a river appearing repeatedly in Biblical stories and visions as an image of God’s abundant blessing, and the theme comes to its culmination in Jesus who declared that He is the source of “living water.” Jesus said, “Those who drink of the water that I give them will never be thirsty. The water that I give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” (John 4:14) Jesus said, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink.  In John 7, the Scripture says, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’” (John 7:37-38)
