"The Fountain of Life"

"For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light." (Psalms 36:9) When Jesus was speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well, He said, "But 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." The thing that is worth taking note of, is that the well of water springs up 'into' everlasting life; which, in case you did not know, that denotes entrance into or direction towards eternal life; actually, it means that our eternal life began the moment we received Jesus Christ into our hearts; and from that moment on, we would never thirst for our eternal salvation again, for the water that comes from the saving grace of our Saviour will continually spring up in us in the direction of everlasting life. What the means for us as believers, is that we are not waiting to begin everlasting life after we are done with this one, we are living our everlasting life beginning now; meaning that we can begin now to experience a little bit of heaven, as we are waiting to be "transformed in a twinkling of an eye" into our new glorified bodies. It's a little like the old question as to whether the glass is half empty, or is it half full? For us that are in Christ, the glass is half full, as we live and move here in this place awaiting for the glass to be filled to overflowing; yet in the meantime, the glass is being filled even as we wait. However, for those that are not in Christ, their glass is half empty, and shall be poured out at the end of this life; meaning that this life will be the best that it gets, and that it doesn't get any better than this. While we, on the other hand, that are living together now in Christ, this is the worst that it gets; and from here, it's all about a glorious eternity with Christ..."And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise Thee: though Thou wast angry with me, Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for He hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee." Isaiah 12:1-6)
