About This Message
Guest speaker Eric Goetsch preaches through John 7, setting Jesus's teaching at the Feast of Tabernacles against its background of Israel's dry season and the daily water-drawing ceremony at the temple. He shows how the Jewish leaders' unbelief and Jesus's own brothers' doubt frame his declaration that he offers "living water" to anyone who thirsts.
Key Takeaways
- The Feast of Tabernacles recalled God's provision of water in the wilderness.
- Priests performed a daily water ceremony asking God for rain.
- Jesus stood at the feast and offered himself as living water.
