Water bearer?

When we take the words that Jesus spoke in Mark 14: 12-16 and only see the physical attributes of these verses, which I admit are great, we miss the spiritual comparison.

Hello Gary,
Thankyou for your heartfelt post, i am sincere when i say that while i believe the whole of scripture has a spirtual message, I have in this instance missed the "spiritual lesson" in Mark 14: 12-16
I'll be quiet for awhile and allow you to explain it to me.
Thanks

Hello Chris R,
This is why, I asked this question in this thread. I am not totally sure of the spiritual aspects of these verses. I am only hoping to learn from others. Yet, we are told to not see Him after the flesh anymore, so it's no big deal that He can tell two of His disciples to go to the city and find a man carrying a pitcher of water and to follow him, and so on and on as the verses state.
Even though to many, these are great things that should not be questioned. They glorify God. Yes, they do, but by the specific things that Jesus told His disciples that they would find, these words take on a greater spiritual meaning than what physically happened as He said they would.
This to me, is easy to see, but I am not sure what they imply, hence the question. There are many things I have overlooked in the past, and I am sure there are many things overlooked even now. I simply do not want to put myself in a state of mind where that is it, especially when it comes to the truth in our Christ. We see in part, grow from faith to faith, and I wish not to hinder the Spirit with my own mind. These are the ideas we came out of, so we can grow and learn.
I can not fully explain these verses to you, except to say there must be more than meets the eye. That is all.
God bless,
Gary

Gary.
This thread has moved on since i read it last.
as I see things Rocky touched on the purpose of the Water pitcher , as Christ Turned water to wine at the Wedding, I can see a connection of through his Blood we become righteous Born anew in him
As Chris R mentioned, was This Man a Holder of LIVING water , the answer would be No.
We understand that Shadows are not the reality .
I just threw in those additional Connections as I can see Christ as the TRUE water Piticher who LETS DOWN living water to those who thirst.
Let down can be seen as the Living word being given.
ieGenesis 11:7 -
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Trying to keep posts short and give food for thought in such few words can be confusing.
At times cant win for trying ???

Hi Mercie,
It is true that Christ gives us living waters, i just fail to see this in the verses mentioned. If the entire chapter is read, there are mountains of "spiritual" truths within. The miracles of Christ and his knowledge of the commings and goings of all men, are in itself the spiritual message in these few verses.
