Living Water

John 7:33-43

33Jesus said, "I am with you for only a short time, and then I go to the one who sent me. 34You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come."

35The Jews said to one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36What did he mean when he said, 'You will look for me, but you will not Christians are just like any non believers in have a conscience of the mind. They do struggle with issues and matter of the conscience.find me,' and 'Where I am, you cannot come'?"

37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as[a] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40On hearing his words, some of the people said, "Surely this man is the Prophet."

41Others said, "He is the Christ."

Still others asked, "How can the Christ come from Galilee? 42Does not the Scripture say that the Christ will come from David's family[b] and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?" 43Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.

Bee's Thoughts:

Christians are just like any non believers in having a God-given conscience. They do struggle with issues and matters of the conscience like anybody else. However, because their conscience is cleansed by the blood of Christ, they are more sensitive to the right and wrong of things. But this can only be maintained if they allow the Holy Spirit to constantly fill their hearts. Otherwise, their conscience can also be darkened.

Dear Lord,
I pray that You will constantly cleanse me so that I will have a clean conscience before You. I pray and ask that the Holy Spirit will indwell me always, that I may do what is right in Your sight.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
