The Fountain of Life
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17)
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17)
The
fourth verse of “Jesus, Lover of My Soul” speaks of the mature Christian’s
desire for purity and victory over sin and looks forward to the ultimate
victory in eternity.
Plenteous grace
with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity.
Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity.
Our
maturing in Christ begins at the time of repentance and forgiveness, and no matter
the depth of our sin, His love can conquer it, for “the grace of our Lord was
exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. . . . Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief” (1 Timothy 1:14-15).
Indeed, “the blood of Jesus Christ . . . cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).
“Behold,
what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God. . . . And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth
himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 3:1,
3). Thus, His gracious love for us becomes the agent of pure living in our
lives.
The
love of Jesus Christ is like “a well of living waters” (Song of Solomon 4:15).
This well is freely open to all, as we see in our text. Jesus, the lover of the
soul, who says “come,” also says, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall
give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in
him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). JDM www.icr.com
