St John 7:37-39

Another short passage: the compilers of the daily lectionary are not making us work too hard, are they?

Jesus has gone up to Jerusalem for the Festival of Shelters, an agricultural festival celebrating the in-gathering of the harvest and also the temporary shelters the Israelites lived in while on the Exodus.

Everyone is talking about him (read the whole chapter – it’s great) and we come to our verses for today.  Jesus is telling the people, that in him their thirst (longing for the Messiah, for new life, for the Day of the Lord) will be met and assuaged. God’s Spirit would be given (in due time) to those who believed in Him. That day was coming and as we know it did. We call it Pentecost.

That gift of the Spirit is given and renewed for Christ’s community in each and every age: we are but part of that long tradition of people empowered by the Holy Spirit to live Christ’s life for today.    ​
