Traditionally, on the last day of this Festival, water, large amounts, would be poured down the temple stairs.

So Jesus calling Himself the Living Water—or that believing in Him would bring living water to us?

• How do you feel the impact of the living water in your own life?
• Where, in your life, are you thirsty for more of this water?
• The leaders are confused about how to label Jesus. If you had to use some labels for your experience with Jesus in your own life, what would they be?
