Evening: Psalm 78:40-72; John 7:37-52
Do you thirst ... perhaps for truth, meaning, forgiveness, or Love? Isaiah writes: “Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters.” It becomes clear ... Isaiah means spiritual thirst and, he says, spiritual nourishment comes from ‘the Lord’. Jesus, hundreds of years later, says: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me.” So, history comes to identify Jesus as ‘the Lord’. It is not only because Jesus said these words, but because many find it to be true ... that they satisfy their spiritual thirst by turning to the Way of Jesus, whose invitation to the thirsty still stands.
