ZECHARIAH 13: LIVING WATER
Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Zechariah is prophecying of a coming day when God would provide a fountain of living water where sins are forgiven. Jesus was the water. Here Jesus is teaching us the ultimate message. He is the only water for eternal life. Jesus had come to give his people of the House of David the new covenant which God would do the reconciling for his people. As Zechariah goes on he makes other prophecies.
Zechariah 13: 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Jesus when he was ressurected showed them his scars. They, his followers had rejected him and ran as Jesus was persecuted and killed. He shows them at his ressurection his fulfilment of his teachings. He had risen. Verse 9 talks of the people calling him their God. Paul made references to this verse as fulfilled within the church in which jews and gentiles now are part of which is the new covenant promise to the jews. All the earth now can taste of the water though few will do it. The road is narrow but the water has been supplied and will satisfy us forevermore.
