AC 2702 [6]
Jesus said, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink;
whosoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says,
out of his bell shall flow rivers of living water. (John 7:37-38)
The Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters;
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 7:17)
I will give unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Revelation 21:6)
"Rivers of living water," and "living fountains of waters,"
denote truths that are from the Lord,
or from His Word;
for the Lord is the Word.
The good of love and of charity,
which is solely from the Lord,
is the life of truth.
He is said to be "athirst" who is in the love and affection of truth;
no other can "thirst."
