In John 7, the Lord Jesus went to Jerusalem at the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, a seven-day feast that took place immediately after the harvest. 
 
John 7:37 tells us that on the last day of the feast, Jesus made an announcement—He “cried out.” The Greek word translated “cried out” means to shout loudly or scream. 
 
What did Jesus have to say that was so urgent? 
 
He said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water” (vv. 37-38). 
 
This announcement was mysterious to those who heard it. What did He mean when He said, “Come to Me and drink”? How can rivers of living water flow out of our innermost being? 
 
Thankfully, John 7:39 gives us a word of explanation: “But this He said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.” 
 
Jesus was glorified through His death and resurrection (see Luke 24:26). Before His death and resurrection, He was with the disciples bodily, as a man. In John 14:16-17, He promised that after He left in death, He would return in resurrection as “another Comforter ... even the Spirit of reality.” 
 
So, the drinking spoken of in John 7 is our drinking of the Lord Himself as the Spirit after His death and resurrection. When we believe in Him, He comes into our human spirit as rivers of living water to continually quench our thirst. When we use our human spirit to pray, sing, or call “O Lord Jesus,” we drink of Him as the Spirit! 
 
If you have not yet received the Lord Jesus, you can pray: 
 
“Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner. Thank You for dying for my sins. Thank You also for resurrecting and becoming the Spirit so that I can drink of You. Come into me and quench my thirst. Fill me with Yourself and cause rivers of living water to flow out of my innermost being. Praise You, Lord Jesus!”

When we were unbelievers, we lived in sins and “according to the age of this world” (Ephesians 2:1-2). At first glance, it may not seem like a bad thing to live according to the present age. After all, isn’t it normal to live as everyone else lives and do what everyone else does? 
 
However, God has called His believers to bear the image not of the present age but of His Son: “Those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers” (Romans 8:29). As children of God, we should have the same expression as our older brother, the Lord Jesus! 
 
Concerning the age we live in, 1 John 5:19 says, “The whole world lies in the evil one.” If we as believers walk according to this age, we will be indistinguishable from the unbelievers. Rather than bearing a testimony of light, we will simply be one more factor of darkness. 
 
The words of this song are from Romans 12:2, where the apostle Paul appeals to us to stand apart from this age: “And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.” 
 
Rather than being fashioned, conformed, to this age, we should be transformed by the renewing of the mind. We are old, of the old creation; Christ is new, the factor that makes us a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). 
 
By contacting Christ as the life-giving Spirit, our mind is renewed from the old thoughts that inundate us day by day. This produces a gradual change, or transformation, within us as our old element is carried away and the new element of God is added to our being. 
 
Ultimately, this process of transformation will lead to there being many sons of God conformed to the image of the Firstborn Son of God, living together in the Body of Christ to express Him. This is the good, well pleasing, and perfect will of God! 
 
The text of Romans 12:2 is quoted from the Recovery Version of the Bible, published by Living Stream Ministry.

We’re starting 2022 with good news! 
 
About 700 years before Christ’s birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote, “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me, / Because Jehovah has anointed Me / To bring good news to the afflicted; / He has sent Me to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted, / To proclaim liberty to the captives, / And the opening of the eyes to those who are bound” (Isaiah 61:1). 
 
This prophecy was fulfilled centuries later in Nazareth of Galilee in ancient Israel. One Sabbath day, the Lord Jesus entered the local synagogue and was handed the scroll of Isaiah’s writings. He opened to 61:1-2, read it aloud, and told those in attendance, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:16-21). 
 
This announcement was the proclaiming of the jubilee, which, in Old Testament times, occurred every fiftieth year. In the Old Testament jubilee, slaves were released from bondage, and each family’s allotted portion of the good land was restored to them. The year of jubilee in the Old Testament is a picture of the entire New Testament age, the age of grace, when God’s salvation is freely available to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ! 
 
The one making the announcement was anointed by God. An anointed person is one who is chosen and sent to accomplish a certain task. The literal meaning of the word Christ is “the anointed One.” 
 
Jesus Christ was anointed by God not only to accomplish redemption for us but also to carry out the wonderful commission in Isaiah 61:1-2. He takes away our sins, but He also releases us from the bondage of sin by giving us His life, heals our broken hearts, and opens our eyes, which were blinded by Satan’s deception, to see the wonderful truth in God’s Word! 
 
If you haven’t yet received the jubilee proclaimed by the Lord Jesus, you can do so by praying this simple prayer: 
 
“Lord Jesus, I believe in You. I confess that I am a sinner. Thank You for coming as the Christ to die for my sins and to proclaim the jubilee. Come into me to be my life. Release me from all the things that bind and afflict me. Open my eyes to see all that You have done for me.” 
 
The text of Isaiah 61:1 is quoted from the Recovery Version of the Bible, published by Living Stream Ministry.
