Thirsty Hearts, Living Hope
John 7:37-39
Easter morning began in heartbreak, but ended in resurrection. What looked like the end was only the beginning. That’s the story of Jesus—and it can be your story too.
In John 7, Jesus cries out to a religious crowd, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.” He wasn’t offering a better religion. He was offering Himself—the only source of true, soul-satisfying life. Days later, on the cross, He would cry, “I thirst,” so that we might never thirst again.
The Spirit of the risen Christ now lives in every believer. That means your deepest thirsts—for peace, identity, purpose, healing—can be quenched, not by performance or perfect circumstances, but by His presence in you.
And here’s the miracle: Not only are you satisfied, but out of your life now flows “rivers of living water” to a dry and thirsty world.
Jesus turned death into life. He took a young missionary who was widowed at a young age and allowed her to serve faithfully for 50 more years ministry. He turned a tragic plane crash into salvations in China. And He can turn your hopelessness into redemption, too.
So come to Him today. Drink deeply. Let Him fill you—and overflow through you.
Jesus is alive… and He lives in you.
