shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to Me!

Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his
heart.’”

Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in Him. But The
Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into
His glory.)

Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth* with you, and shall be
in you.

He entered our lives, and comforts us with the very presence and
power of God.

Of Christ, he is none of His.
