In the Gospel of St. John Chapter 7, Jesus is in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles. During this feast Christ stands up in the midst of the crowd and proclaims that He is One Who offers living water and that those who drink from it will never thirst again. To understand more fully what Christ says of Himself, we must come to an understanding of the Feast of Tabernacles. Just as in every Old Covenant Feast that God gave them to celebrate in honor of Him, Jesus is prefigured in each one of these major celebrations. When we look at what God would have the Priest and His people do in this Great Feast we see very clearly why Christ would reveal Himself in this way to the crowd during this holy celebration.
