Sukkot - All who are Thirsty - Are you Drinking from Broken Cisterns?

On the last great day of the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles), Yeshua stood up and said, "All who are thirsty, come to Me and drink."   (John 7:37) We all have a thirst for God, but we often try to satisfy our thirst in unhealthy ways that do not satisfy. "Come to the waters - a free gift.  Why do you spend your money and hard earned wages on that which does not satisfy?"  (Isaiah 55:2) Jeremiah rebuked the people of Israel for forsaking God, the Fountain (source) of living waters (Makor Mayim Chayim)  מקור מיים חיים and instead turning to broken cisterns that cannot hold water. (Jeremiah 2:13)  Yeshua spoke to a Samaritan woman who had already had five husbands and was trying to quench her thirst for love in human relationships, only to find disappointment and failure.  Yeshua promised her living waters that would completely satisfy her thirst eternally.,  He said, "I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirst."  (Revelation 21:6) Let us forsake our 'broken cisterns' and come to Adonai - the source of living waters for our soul.   "The Spirit and the Bride say Come. And let him who hears say, "COME!" AND LET HIM WHO THIRST COME. WHOEVER DESIRES, LET HIM TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY."   (Revelation 22:17)                                                                                                                             Subscribe to our free on-line Messianic Torah studies   CLICK HERE
