Well

<<water supply>>

As a reliable source of water was a necessity for people and livestock wells were a focal point of ancient societies. People camped near them or built cities adjacent to them. A well needed an underground source of water, requiring effort to initially dig down to the water supply, then the ongoing toil to lift the water to the surface (Ex 15:27; Jn 4:6,7,11). This is in contrast to a spring continually gushing water that is available with minimal effort.

Jesus claimed to be the ‘water of life’ (living water) and developed this further saying, “He that believes in me, out of his inner being will flow streams
of living water” (Jn 4:14, 7:38). From the divine supply within (because of the Holy Spirit’s presence), we are refreshed and then we become channels

through which the life-giving water can flow out to bless others. God spoke to Isaiah saying “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation”
– like water, salvation is life-giving and sustaining (Isa 12:3).
