Water bearer?
Chris R:
Hello,
One cannot Carry "living" water in a Pitcher. The only thing amazing about this story, is Christ Knew that this man was carring a pitcher of water, and he Knew WERE this man was going to go.
I see nothing in these verses that "symbolize" the living water.

Great post Gary, and great insight Rocky and Mercie, amen.
Chris, have you considered that understanding is the wellspring of life and the Son of God is come to give us this understanding? Thats within ourselves. Afterall it wells up in our inmost being unto "eternal (or whichever word one chooses to use) life", and thats to "Know God".
That would be as a treasure in an earthen vessel. It also can be seen as one who is poured out as a drink offering. These having this indescrible gift within them (if only the woman at the well knew of).
HE is the fountain of living water and the drink to our souls and we are given one Spirit to drink.
Both the "lamb" (they eat) and "the living water" (they drink) are in the midst (the throne) where He feeds and cares for them.
Does seem to have validation here, yes He knows those that are His and knows their comings and their goings.
Peace
Daniel

Thanks everybody for the input. At first, when reading those verses, it's true to the glory of God that He would know of these things before they took place. Yet, also there could also be some hidden manna there in these words and actions.
Follow the one who gives out the Living Water, 8) Definetly the kind of water we would want to partake of. Very interesting connections, gives deeper meaning to His words in those verses. Thanks.
God bless,
Gary

Proverbs 25:2 says, It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings to search out a thing. :)

Amen Gary,
In following those who have the living water or understanding its to follow their "example" not them as Paul needed to rebuke them for, for all the wrong reasons.
Notice its not being a follower of men except to the point where their example and life exemplify that which speaks of their example, or behavior as they follow in the footsteps of Christ.
2Thes 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
2Thes 3:8 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
1Cr 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1Cr 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Phil 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Interesting that the Lord puts it that way. You can find it speaking after their example in the right light. As Paul said, "watch your doctrine and your life" in that regard, in thhat those approved do become evident as God bears them witness, He sure does. Never mattered whether WE confess angels or not, but that HE confess YOU before THEM.
Peace
Daniel
