To “come” to Jesus is to believe in Him; to “drink” is to receive the Holy Spirit into the heart.

This is the subject matter of every faithful minister's preaching, “If any one thirst, let him go to Jesus and drink.”

Many still suffer the agony of parching thirst. Their uneasiness is made plain by their anxiety to obtain riches, pleasure, and honors; but they do not know the only fountain that can quench their thirst. — The Holy Spirit can make them more happy than all the enjoyments this world affords.

( Hebrews 6:6 ; 10:29 ) All who do not love Him are His enemies, and shall be put under His feet. It is a dreadful thing to fall into th...
