Slaking one's thirst


13Jesus answered, "Those who drink this water will get thirsty again, 14but those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life." (John 4)


In this case it's important to know what the symbol for water is. It will be a spring within us so that we would never be thirsty. Understanding Jesus makes us never feel that something is missing. Understanding Jesus gives us a handle to live here temporarily. Christians are satiated people who confidently move through the timeline to something after the timeline ends. Satiation here and life after here are what the drinkers of Jesus' water get from him. It's the complete package - nothing is missing.
