John 4:10 – Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Rev. 21: 6 – And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev. 22:1 – And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Living water/River of water of life:
• The unfoldment of Truth
• The divine revelation of God as the ever-present and inexhaustible source of all that is good
• Right, pure thought; God’s good thoughts
• The Christ, the divine idea
• The activity of Truth and Love
• Inspiration; spiritual understanding
• Christian Science
“…our thoughts form a never ending stream. We think, think, think day and night….The supply of thought is endless….the ‘river of water of life’ is a stream of right and pure thought….the river of thought is constantly flowing. We must think something every instant. It is inevitable. It is the nature of Mind, man’s source and support, to be omniactive. Every instant, therefore, we should think a good thought, a God thought, for it is ours to choose what we shall think. God’s thoughts, and thoughts of God, are life-giving….They are precious beyond all else.” (CSS – “Living Water,” by Martha R. White, 7/22/1911)
The author points out further that, even though the Samaritan woman forgot to give Jesus the drink of water that he initially requested, “When his disciples presently brought him food, he declined to receive it. He was already refreshed! The living water, his spiritual understanding, had restored him, even while he was awakening the woman to a new and purified sense of life.”
“…drink with me the living waters of the spirit of my life-purpose,—to impress humanity with the genuine recognition of practical, operative Christian Science.” (Mis. 207:3-6).
