Preached on Sunday 22nd May 2022, by Rupert Hunt-Taylor
The tenth sermon of our series in the Gospel of John: From the Father’s Heart
If only you knew the Gift of God!
• “Living water”?
• Satisfaction?
• Cleansing?
• Eternal life?
• The Holy Spirit?
• True, spiritual worship?
1. What Jesus gives to us: Not just benefits, but a bridegroom
The Gift: Christ himself, though his Spirit, with every blessing in his hands
Christ alone possesses the Spirit “without measure”, and every gift of the Father is placed in his hands (3:34-35)
God himself is “living water” his people need (Jer 2:13)
Drink from Christ, receive the living water of his Spirit (7:37, 39)
So What: No a ‘second blessing’, but more of Jesus
2. What Jesus wants for us: Not just mercy, but a marriage
A thirst we never knew we had: a temple for honest sinners to worship in
