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
