Precious Elder,

I learned something interesting in SS.  Christ is the bread of life and the light, but the living water is the HG as explained in John 7:38-39.  In v. 38, He promises that those who believe will have living water flowing from them.  Then, in v. 39, John makes a parenthetical clarification that the living water is the Holy Ghost.  Not to be confused with statements made by Jesus like “I am the Bread of Life,” and “ I am the light of the world.”

It broadens the meaning of the Sacrament.  We ingest the bread, representing Christ's mortal being, and drink the water which represents the blood that came out of Him.  Since the atoning power of a sacrifice is in the blood (BD), the water represents Salvation which came out of Christ and is wrought by the Holy Spirit because He can dwell in us.  It’s the Holy Ghost that “washes” or cleanses us of our sin by virtue of Christ’s blood sacrifice.  So the constant companionship of the HG means constant living water washing our souls! 

That connects to another insight I had about teaching with the Spirit.  I think that means we are to be baptized, obedient, covenant members of the Church before we teach.  That’s the only way we can have the constant cleansing influence of the HG (both for us & for those listening).  Like John pointed out in v. 38, Christ promises that those who believe will have living water (the Holy Spirit) flowing from them, which occurred from my SS teacher to me & which happens every time you teach an honest investigator.

We pray and fast for you!
