Living Water

Rev. Matt Ulmer, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bishop, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study John 7:32-52. When the Pharisees send officers to arrest Jesus at the Feast of Booths, His teaching leaves them amazed so that they don’t take action. The crowd continues to misunderstand what Jesus means when He teaches, and they are divided concerning whether Jesus is the Prophet, the Christ, or someone else entirely. Opposition to Jesus continues to build among the Pharisees. For His part, Jesus continues to teach. On the great day of the Feast on which water played a part of the ritual, Jesus proclaims Himself as the source of living water. “The Word Made Flesh” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Gospel according to St. John. The disciple whom Jesus loved wrote his Gospel account as an eyewitness to Jesus’ life and ministry. As we read the Word of God recorded by St. John, the Holy Spirit works in us so that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so have life by faith in His name.
