Galatians 4:4 "But when the fullness of the time was come..." In the dimension of time, natural men are ruled by it. We celebrate the passing of time even as we inch closer to our end. We say that time heals all wounds but it's not time that heals the wounds of our sinful flesh, it's Jesus Who came into time for us; "But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son..." We can only be truly healed by the wounds of our Substitute; our LORD Jesus Christ, "For thus saith the LORD, thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous." (Jeremiah 30:12) "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities...and with His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5) It's all Christ: His perfectly obedient life and His perfectly obedient suffering and His perfectly obedient death that healed His children from our sins, for ever more. Ordained in eternity, where there is no time, yet carried out in time and the "fullness" thereof; He is our Healing, "That in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in One all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him..." (Ephesians 1:10) We celebrate the One Who heals; the Greatest Physician. We'll have no scars in our new flesh from our sin that He saved us from, only the scars of our Savior will remain to His glory and we'll rejoice in Him forever more! "Behold, I make all things new..." (Revelation 21:5) ...in Christ alone!

Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the Door, and Knock: if any man hear My Voice, and open the Door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with Me." So, is the LORD of All Creation standing outside some kind of 'door' of free-will, waiting for someone to answer? No, He is the Door, "I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, He shall be saved..." (John 10:9) We enter in by Him. The Knock is the preaching of the Gospel, the Word of God, "...praying also for us, that God would open unto us a Door of Utterance, to speak the Mystery of Christ..." (Colossians 4:3) His Word, the Voice of God, goes forth at His direction and those who hear His Voice were given ears by Him and they had the Door opened by Him, "...how He had opened the Door of Faith..." (Acts 14:27) The "Knock" of Christ and Him crucified draws us to Him, the Door of Heaven, "...behold, a Door was opened in Heaven..." (Revelation 4:1) "And I...will draw all men unto Me." (John 12:32) The Knock of the True Gospel isn't an opportunity but an announcement, a declaration of Salvation, by the Key of David; God in sinless flesh, Who unlocked, opened the Door of Heaven by His sacrificial death, "...These things saith...He that hath the Key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth..." (Revelation 3:7) Jesus is the Door into Heaven, unlocked by Him, opened by Him, He is the Knock, He gives the hearing to hear His Knock, He draws His sinners with His Knock and we eat of Him and with Him; the Bread of Life. ALL the glory goes to Christ Alone!

Isaiah 12:3 "Therefore with joy shall ye draw Water out of the Wells of Salvation." These Words of God speak of Himself, the Water of Eternal Life, the Word of God as revealed to His children by His Spirit. This was His main mission when He went through Samaria; to draw some of His children to Himself and to cause them to draw the Living Water "with joy," from Him; God in the flesh. "Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus on the well... There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, give Me to drink." (John 4:6-7) This woman of Samaria was confused at first but the Spirit gave her ears to hear, "Then saith the woman of Samaria unto Him, How is it that Thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered...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. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast Thou that living water?" (John 4:9-11) She thought Jesus was talking about the water of the world but His Words revealed the Truth, "...the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth...God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him mush worship Him in Spirit and in Truth." (John 4:23-24) Jesus the Well of Truth, draws each one of His own to Himself and gives each one the Gift of God; the Word of Life; the Living Water: Himself, "And many more believed because of His own Word...we have heard Him...this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." (John 4:41-42) Indeed!

Isaiah 58:11 "And the LORD shall...satisfy thy soul in drought...and thou shalt; be like a Watered garden..." The LORD has made water to be such an awesome picture of Christ. Water can exist in any form: solid, liquid, or vapor. It's a solvent (a cleanser), just as He is that Cleansing Water that washed away our sin-tainted blood at the cross; "Then washed I thee with Water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood..." (Ezekiel 16:9) Power is displayed in His raging seas, His great floods and in His rivers that cut through rock to leave 'grand' canyons. Water is essential to life and made of only two elements; oxygen and hydrogen, an accurate picture of Christ Jesus: God and Man. And just as water gives life, it can also destroy it. Christ; the Water of Wrath, the Great Flood that carried flesh away to destruction, is also the Water of Life for those redeemed at His cross. He is that " Pure River " that satisfies our soul in the droughts of this fallen world and He makes us to thrive as His garden; "Watered" at Calvary by the Fountain of Life released from His House of Flesh, by His death; "a Fountain shall come forth out of the House of the LORD..." (Joel 3:18); "...when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was dead already...pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and Water." (John 19:33-34); "...a Pure River of Water of Life, clear as crystal..." (Revelation 22:1)
