Not at all Joe ;)The tongue that needs water to cool down.?
The Rich man sure came to understand this
Pro 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

There are many verses that speak of the living waters that Christ gives, none of these verses hide the the living water in a pitcher, why is this?
Christ plainly told his followers that "I Am The Way" [Jhn 14:6] He didnt hide this message in a man carrying a pitcher of water, why would he?
Peace

Hi Chris, something to consider; Christ's living water is conceiled, and opened up only to those he chooses. Everything in it's own order. Even talks about this in the John 4 verses re: living water.
Joh 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.

Ray's article on Lazarus & the Rich man was a real eye opener for me, especially when it was explained who the "Rich man" represents;
(From Lazarus & the Rich man)
THE RICH MAN IDENTIFIED
There is only one man who Scripturally fits all the descriptions of the "rich man" in this parable. Only one person who "personifies" all of the symbols and identifying clues given of this rich man. And that man is:
"JUDAH !"
But not just Judah as an historical individual, but collectively. All Israel under the headship of Judah, the Jews. And the Jews were "rich."
It is an incredible paper;

(Mar 14:13) And He sent two of His disciples, and said to them, Go into the city. And you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him.
Why two disciples, why not three, four, or only one??
Why the words "follow him". Have we seen those words before? "follow me and i'll make you fishers of men"
Why into the city??? Where have we seen city used before??? Rev. 21 onward, "Holy City", Jerusalem from above????
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments (follow him), that they may have right to the tree of life (living water??), and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Makes me think of God's chosen (two out of 12 desciples, two witnesses, to follow Him), following Him with water????
The water was in jars. jars made of clay??? Christ at that time still in the flesh?? Water soon to be spilled out in the resurrection???
Just some thots.
