The blood, water and Holy Spirit from the heart of Jesus.

Introduction

"Thus says the Lord, all who are thirsty come to the water" Isaiah 55:1

Jesus said

If anyone thirst's let him come to me as scripture has said " out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water" John 7 37-38

The "out of his heart shall flow river's of living water" John 7 :38 could refer in metaphorical language to the" eternal water," which provides us with eternal life. We become one ONLY symbolically with the eternal water because water is a metaphorical representation of the eternal spirit of god, which we become united to in love. This love is likened to a well of salvation containing the Holy Spirit ascending down from heaven like "showers that water the earth" Psalm 72:6 which flows from the pierced spiritual heart of Jesus.
The love is in the blood or the Spirit of God through the symbol of water and it unites us to God and to each other.

In the next few chapters we shall try to explain the theology of this in far deeper depth.

Chapter 1

The lamb of god a sacrificial banquet.

A sacrificial banquet is formed because of the death of the lamb of God John 1:29 and because of the blood that flows from it.

Now the word of God or Jesus John 1:1 sacrificed becomes food for us. Knowledge or word therefore is linked to this sacrificial death. Because of the death of Jesus and by him giving us life then this sacrifice becomes pure love. Love therefore becomes the word or message. The word is pure love revealed to us in sacrifice. The feeding of the word then is becoming one with the food or with love and to become the word and the sacrifice.

Now within the blood is the "symbol and mirror of the giver of life", water, which is a metaphor in the scriptures of the Holy Spirit or "LIFE OF GOD"

Now the life of God becomes food for our journey on earth, it becomes water in the desert to sustain us. It becomes light or energy that moves our footsteps towards the heart of God where the rivers of the life of God or pure love flows. It is the energy that transforms us into the image of God, into saints who live heaven like lives.

John the Baptist called Jesus "the lamb of God" who would baptise his followers with the Holy Spirit John 1:29 or with the life of God.

This baptism means renewal of heart and mind, by having a mind and heart truly transformed by the sacrificed word or love of God. So that we become a sacrificial offering of pure love, A mouthpiece of the word cleansed by the fire of water, like that of gold refined in the furnace a vessel of love on earth which spreads faith through love.

The scriptures teach that the life is in the blood of an animal. Leviticus 17:11. Therefore the life of God would come from the blood of the lamb of God from living flesh.

But isn't a normal lamb that we eat dead?

The life is not in the lamb no more when we eat it.

In the past the blood of the lamb that we ate was poured out to God, so that the Spirit of the animal would be given back to God and all that we could eat then would be the flesh of the animal.

Normal dead lambs could keep us alive but we could die at any moment and we constantly need to feed on lambs to keep us alive.

Jesus died so that another may "live" Jesus became symbolically like a lamb that died for us so that we may eat and live. This is a bit like sacrifice where the death of one creature provides the life of another. However the sacrifice of Jesus is much deeper.

We don't eat Jesus in the fleshly sense of the term we eat him in the spiritual because we eat the life of Jesus we eat a resurrected a changed Jesus. We drink his spiritual blood or his true eternal life, his spirit.

The Spirit is alive and active in the flesh of Jesus because Jesus is alive. The blood has been poured out to God but the Spirit enters Jesus again on the third day in a new creation.

This lamb of God that we eat is actually alive, because this lamb rose again from the dead. We eat a resurrected lamb. We eat a lamb with eternal blood within. It is a new covenant not like the old covenant sealed with the earthly blood of bulls and goats which die rather it is a new covenant sealed with eternal blood. It is an everlasting covenant. Hebrews 13:20 We eat the Holy Spirit within the blood of the lamb. We drink blood or God's Spirit that lasts forever.

We eat a transformed flesh and transformed blood. A spirit filled or light filled body and blood.

Light with waves and particles a quantum body and blood that transcends space time which is somewhere but everywhere, finite but infinite.

But why do we need to drink Jesus' blood? As scripture says "unless you drink the blood of the son of man you have no life in you." John 6:53 It is because we drink the Holy Spirit.

We drink creation itself or God's Spirit. God's Spirit that transcends everything and is part of creation but outside it. Infinity dwells in us, time, space and everything lives in us. Heaven lives in us, it becomes incorporated into our bodies and we become united to god and to each other.

Now we become the vessel of god. God dwells in us and we become holy we become his temple where God's Spirit dwells 1 Corinthians 6:19 Like quantum mechanics infinity enters space time and god swoops down from his throne to visit us.

Here we become connected to God and to each other in one chain of everything and the energy which binds us is the love of God that holds his creation firmly in place.

Now the mind of the father lives in us. And isn't this Christ's mind and our mind as well? As scripture says " the spirit searches the deep things of god who has known the mind of the lord but we have the mind of Christ" 1 Corinthians 2:16

Now because God is Love where does creation or the spirit's mind live? Is it not in the heart of the word of God? The mind or wisdom of God which is the Spirit of God now pours into the heart of God as it is contained in the blood of God.

The wisdom of God pours out of the heart of God or from Jesus heart and builds up the church in the symbol of water through baptism when the heart of Christ was pierced.

Now wisdom flows from the fount of love, the heart of Jesus and it falls onto creation and waters it with God's Word or Gods love and it creates a beautiful garden, As scripture says "oh lord send forth your spirit and renew the face of the earth." Psalm 104:30

We drink his spirit which has searched the mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:11 who's verdict is pure love pouring from Christ's heart.

Wisdom revealed that it loved creation as it passed through the pierced heart of Christ due to pouring us with the graces of god through salvation. This was because of the love of Christ heart.

Now wisdom and love become one through love in wisdom in a infinite chain of wisdom and love.

The infinite wisdom/ love of god is like that of water which pours out of the heart of God and ascends upon the church and cleanses and transforms us into the image of God.

The church becomes the heart of God on earth which pours out water. It becomes the temple the heavenly Jerusalem Revelation 21: 1-5 which has come down from heaven. It becomes an image of God's wisdom and love.

Here creation becomes the fingerprint of the creator as scripture says. "The heavens declare the glory of god. The skies proclaim the works of thy hands" Psalm 19:1

Love now becomes the foundation of the creation of the world therefore, Love is the rock, love is the cross victorious creating the saints victorious who have drank the risen living word of God which is the spirit of love.

Chapter 2

Our Heart is a Garden of Creation

When we eat a "living word" or " resurrected life" present in the Eucharist then a new resurrected voice speaks within us and forms us into a new creation, and a fountain of water and light and the holy spirit overflows within us.

This overflowing grace, water's and transforms us into a beautiful garden which dwells within our very being.

Now we become the beautiful of the beautiful, an image of God. We become God's Garden.

This beautiful garden is the risen Jesus but also us as his mystical body Col 1:18

The risen son is in our hearts and we drink his spirit so that our hearts become spiritual, fruitful, and alive.

Scripture says "lord send forth your spirit and renew the face of the earth." Psalm 104:30 . Now we are the branches of the vine within the garden of God's creation of which the Holy Spirit like water flows within us because of the attachment to the vine, Jesus, John 15:5 Here water which once flowed from the heart of Jesus from the invisible clouds of evaporation, become the visible rain's come down from heaven. The garden is like heaven a symbol of infinity and the vine, Jesus John 15:5 It becomes like the temple, visibly present and finite. Jesus is both garden and vine, he is both infinite and finite.

Jesus transforms us into a vineyard or temple of fine wines which rejoices the heart in metaphor to that of a wedding. We are therefore a " new creation" a "new heaven" married to Jesus and reawakened by the Spirit on the third day. Now we become partner's of the "New Wedding in Cana" John 2:1-11 "The true wedding" of which we become married to Jesus by loving him and his mystical body the Church Col 1:18 or those who love god and each other. We also love ourselves because Christ loves us and we are a Christ.

The constant sustaining life of the church therefore depends on the constant love from the sacred heart of Jesus. Each beat of the heart of Jesus keeps the church alive and fills us with grace, newness, life and love.

The piercing of the heart of Jesus created the life of the church because water which feeds the church with life flows from the heart of Jesus pierced at the crucifixion.

"But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear and immediately blood and water came out John 19:34

Blood and water and the spirit flows out of the heart of Jesus, and as explained the life of God which is our life when Jesus is revealed Col 3:3 comes when the true wedding occurs but also when the heart of Jesus is pierced.

Now Jesus is like a seed that dies to make bread. John 12:24

The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11

The seed represent's the future because it contains life within it. We must die with Christ, like the seed and pierce our hearts before we can germinate and rise to new life in the state of a grain of wheat whose purpose is to become bread.

Our material heart must be like seeds and die therefore and be made anew into a spiritual heart fed by the waters of the holy spirit or the grace of the love of God to make us loving and kind with a purpose to feed and sustain others with God's word or God's love. We therefore become a harvest or a sacrifice.

The word of God is a double edged sword Hebrews 4:12 which searches mans thoughts. The word of god even pierces Christ's heart for the spirit of God searches even the depths of God, 1 Corinthians 2:1 and we know the depths of God comes from pure wisdom and love which searches Christ heart whose verdict was a gift for mankind, salvation to those near and salvation to those far and in doing so it has broken down the bars of oppression of the slavery of sin and provided us with the gift of freedom by offering the gift of son ship by being like the son in all qualities.

But if the word of God or the spirit of God pierces Christ's heart then didn't Christ's hand grab onto the hand of the one who pierced him?

And doesn't scripture say

"Every eye shall see him even those who pierced him" Rev 1:7

This means to see Christ is to see the father and to see the father is to have an integral one to one relationship with god as a friend. Moses prophesised that the true prophet would have a one to one communion with God as a friend and that this prophet would see God. Deut 18.

Jesus went up the mountain and was at prayer and communed with the father as a friend and hence he saw God. At the transfiguration when the disciples of Jesus climbed the mountain they saw God, however they saw only Jesus Matthew 17:1-13 How can this be reconciled? It is because "whoever see's me see's the father" Matthew 14:9 and "the father and me are one" John 10:30. This oneness is the love of the son to the father and the love of the father to the son. Therefore to directly see the father is to become directly "one" with Jesus in and through love because Jesus is directly "one" with the father in and through love as well.

Now if the hand of forgiveness of Christ touched the hand of the man who pierced him because as we have said the hand of Christ touched the hand of the one who pierced him and by Christ also saying" father forgive them for they do not know what they do"

Scripture also says "May his blood be on our hands and on our children's hands." Matthew 27:25

Or may his love and forgiveness be on us.

Sacrificial love or blood flowed onto Christ's hand when they pierced his hands and feet therefore.

Now when Christ's hand touched those who pierced him blood from his hands fell on those who pierced him as well.

But aren't we all responsible for piercing Jesus Christ? Christ died for us, and for all generations and "the lamb was slain from the foundation of the world." Rev 13:8. Therefore Christ's hand is held out to all of us so that we are able to touch his wounds as scripture says "by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5

That blood has searched his heart. His heart was the mediator between God and Man, therefore love and wisdom was also the mediator between god and mankind.

Chapter 3

Feeding the world with god's living word and understanding how exegesis of the scriptures which refer to the Eucharist, helps us see how the body and spirit are interlinked.

To thirst is to move towards death, it is a fear of the grave and of everlasting death. But to thirst is also a thirst for water. Now Water is the element that sustains and gives life. Thirsting is a craving for life, it is our bodies and our flesh's way of pining for life.

God's word is seen in scripture as Jesus John 1:1. Now a word is a message and you need a breath and that breath is the Holy Spirit. John 20:22 which forgives sins. John 20:22 As we know sins lead to death Romans 6:23 therefore the Holy Spirit proceeds from the mouth of the father and is likened to water John 7:38 because it removes away sins. Just like a cup of eternal water or drinking of the Holy Spirit or like baptism which takes away the threat of everlasting death caused by sins.

Now to survive we need to drink water or Jesus Christ's Spirit or God's living word.

This word is given to the world, it is broken down like bread and shared out through love on the cross.

The passion is the true act of love and it is "spoken" as scripture says "thy word has gone out to the end of the whole earth Psalm 19:4. This speaking is the true love coming down for us.

The sacrifice of Jesus becomes the true message because of the passion which created the ascension, so that when Pentecost came about the spirit filled breath formed the glorified message.

Now through the spirit filled mouth of the apostles scripture is fulfilled because "thy word goes out to the whole earth." Psalm 19:4

Now for us to eat and digest we need to listen and then are we not all silenced? Then we rejoice and speak that word to others.

We become the living bread of life baked in the fires of the furnish of the Holy Spirit. Here we feed Jesus to the hungry for the 12 baskets are never empty Luke 9:17 and the world is always hungry for God's word or for the sacrifice or for love.

Jesus said "You give them something to eat" Luke 9:13. This means we must feed the blind with bread we must therefore be the sacrifice and give them Jesus in ourselves. We become the light of the world because Jesus was only seen in the breaking of bread or the opening of the scriptures as scripture says "the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light they rejoice as at harvest time." Isaiah 9:2

We now are the harvest and we must also be the labourer of Jesus. We must therefore labour the harvest within us or feed Jesus to other's. We must therefore break our very selves for our brothers and sisters so that they see the light of Christ within us.

Now let us ask a fundamental spiritual question regards the Eucharist not a materialistic question. Does blood save or does the spirit within the blood save? Does flesh save or does the living spirit in the flesh save?

In the person dead to sin it is the formers because they live in the material world but to the person alive to god in Christ Jesus then they have been recreated by the spirit into a spiritual sacrifice pleasing to God. They have died and have been recreated in the spirit. In them the true spirit is in the flesh and blood and it is this that saves because the material has passed away.

Now scripture says "the spirit the water and the blood are in agreement." 1 John 5:8 But blood is not spirit nor spirit water. Blood on it's own does not save rather the spirit metaphorically in the blood saves, that way the blood agrees with the spirit. However the flesh is needed for the blood to form the spirit in the first place. Just like a seed is needed to make bread. Like quantum mechanics there must be something in the nothing to form the everything. Therefore infinity is allowed to dwell in the poverty of the finite. Hence the infinite God dwells in a given area. The large becomes small and both dwell as one, intricately united.

Now if the heart of Jesus was a normal person then the non resurrected dead blood which is the material or sinful blood would pass away and die.

However "the word of god endures forever." Psalm 100:4 That blood or finite substance is resurrected into a infinite substance and becomes present everywhere and beyond time and space. However as explained we need the finite to enter into the infinity. The blood therefore becomes a mixture of both material and spiritual but neither and or.

That word of God is spirit and life. Deut 32:46

We know that heart is spiritual and it gives out spiritual blood or the Holy Spirit. But also the heart is material and gives out material blood or nothing would be there. We need the material to have the spiritual.

What I mean is that the blood of "the word of God is spirit and life" Deut 32:46 not a non resurrected blood because it has changed into a renewed quantum reality.

Therefore in the cup of the Eucharist the blood contains water or life and the Holy Spirit within of which the Holy Spirit and the blood which saves.

The blood from the heart of Jesus is for the life of the world John 6:53 The life of the world is eternal changed living flesh and living spirit.

The blood in the Eucharist is a resurrected blood hence it is a new creation and is dead to our sin or the flesh, but alive to the spirit. John 6:11 and it renews both body and spirit therefore by grace. Abraham circumcised his household's dead flesh Genesis 17:23 but only the living spirit truly renews the heart. This is proper circumcision and it is of the heart. Romans 2:25-30

Lets ask again about the flesh in the Eucharist, the flesh of Jesus is bread.

Does normal bread save?

Jesus said "unless one eats the flesh of the son of man he has no life in him." John 6:53

Is the renewed flesh sinful? Is it really dead?

No because once again the life is in the spirit. The flesh contains the living spirit of the word of God. "Unless a seed dies it cannot bear bread." John 12:24

The word of god has a resurrected body and the bread is the resurrected body of the worldly seed. Jesus said "unless you become living bread you have no life in you. "John 6:34 You become living flesh with sins forgiven through grace. The heart is circumcised. Also Jesus said "I am the living bread come down from heaven" John 6:51 how can this be understood?

The bread doesn't save rather the "living" in the bread saves. This bread is eternal bread. It has changed and has become a new creation. It is dead to our sin. Hence the bread itself represents us, the bread is our sinfulness and we remember our sinfulness in the bread of the body of our lord. Therefore we remember the passion of Christ who died because of our sinfulness. The Eucharist becomes a memorial of Christ's death therefore. Luke 22:19

However the bread or "living word" contains life within.

When we digest the word of God in the Eucharist we become transformed by the holy spirit and become a resurrected bread or form a new creation dead to the sins of the flesh but alive to Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11

We crush with our teeth the sinfulness of our flesh so that the bread becomes the "living" within us, so all we have is a "living resurrection"

Now blood means the love of God or life and light of god, scripture says "by thy light do we see light" Psalm 36:9 which means the blood or the Eucharist which contains the Holy Spirit makes us see love or Jesus and to see love we must be beautified and made into light by Jesus who is the "light of the world." John 8:12 As scripture says "thy word is a light to my steps" Psalm 119:105.

We walk amid the deserts of a thirsting world giving the waters of life and wisdom and love to those who thirsting and dying and provide them with the beacon of hope. We carry the spiritual Jesus himself in us. As scripture says "happy are the feet of those who bring good news" Romans 10:15 For those feet which carry the word, the light of the world and bring water and light which creates a paradise in the desert to those walking in evils shadow.

Jesus is "the light of the world" John 8:12 therefore and if we metaphorically call him a candle, then this candle needs oxygen to burn.
That oxygen is the Holy Spirit. It is the holy Eucharist which feeds us and makes us into the light of the world
It lightens our hearts when we feed off that oxygenated blood and we eat the living flesh of Jesus in the Eucharist which is the spirit filled or living loving word.

The lungs of the father in metaphor therefore breaths the breath of the spirit into the mouth of Jesus which forms a living and active word made flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. And this wisdom of God in the incarnation is like the light of the world and is explained allegorically in the Eucharist. We must have Jesus Christ in our hearts. His blood or love containing God's Spirit must flow through our hearts as scripture says " The love of god has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us" Romans 5:5

Chapter 4

The mystery of Cana in Galilee and how the marriage to Christ is symbolic to us becoming a new creation sealed by the Holy Spirit and celebrated in the Eucharistic banquet.

The wedding at Cana was only a metaphor of the true wedding in heaven because Jesus said "his hour at that moment had not come John 2:1-10. when he would lay down his life for his wife As scripture says "No greater love then this that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Cana in Galilee occurred on the third day John 2:1 why? Because it is a prefigurement of when Christ would actually marry his bride, which is the church and that the two would become one flesh meaning the church would become a new risen creation like Jesus and be all loving and all wise. It would be when the divine marries creation. When the infinite dwells in the finite making a quantum mix of both infinity and finite. The infinity therefore occupies space time and enters time and the finite enter infinity and becomes everywhere and beyond time.

Now the resurrection is a prefigurement of what will happen to us. Let us look at it from the point of view of the spirit. Firstly scripture says that "by one spirit we are all baptised into one body, whether Jew or gentile whether bond or free and have all been made to drink into one spirit" 1 Cor 12:13. This passage means the body is not earthly but spiritual read again and it says that the Holy Spirit that we drink forms one body but we drink into one spirit. The body therefore enters the spirit realm or infinity. It becomes God like and it becomes all wise and all loving.

Now the body is a new creation it is a spiritual body formed from the Holy Spirit. The material marries the spiritual. We become "living bread" in that the flesh is living which means our sinfulness has died through the grace of the holy spirit. Our life is pure it is spirit and life. The living is the bread in what we become, we become the flesh of Jesus it is human but not dead to sin. Hence not dead flesh. Rather it contains life within it or the Holy Spirit and hence it is purified and free from sin. This is what baptism means purification. But how does this come about? It comes about through love. The seed dies to make bread this is the "hour" It means the love of Jesus is so much then his death comes about. It is Jesus dying with us being through our sin of death with us throughout death's moments.

It is also about self giving to others, and this is how Jesus marries the church and makes the church into his mystical body, He gives it love and regards his creation as himself as scripture says "For no' one hates his own flesh rather nourishes and cherishes it even as Christ does the church because we are member's of his body for this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh, This is a great mystery but I speak in reference to Christ and the church" Eph 5:28-32.

This is baptism of the Holy Spirit and it is the marriage of Jesus and the church. Therefore Jesus pours the spirit onto his bride by reawakening it and making it a new creation into himself all loving through the Spirit. Once it was dead to sin now it is alive to Christ Jesus.

Jesus said "in truth I tell you, no one can be enter the kingdom of heaven without being born from water and spirit. You ought to be astonished then when I tell you that you must be born again. The wind blows where it wills : you hear the sound of I, but you do not know where it comes from so is everyone who is born from spirit." John 2:35-10.

At the Eucharist and at baptism Christ gives his church nourishment that is his Spirit which is in his blood which pours out through creations love vessel. He opens his pierced heart hit by cupids arrow and gives love to his bride his church. This means Christ dies at the moment he is hit by cupids arrow, here all our sins die with him as our sinful flesh die and we are washed in the death of baptism, which is the fount of his blood and water pouring from his heart. And as Jesus rises he raises us up out of the water's where the holy spirit and breath of the holy spirit resound proceeding from the mouth of the father. And the father breath's a breath of the holy spirit which passes into us and renews our bodies into a new creation. We become born anew of water and the Holy Spirit and we become the beloved son of whom the father is well pleased, saints and we have bathed in the blood of Christ, and we "have washed our robes white in the blood of the lamb" Rev 7:14

Now lets look at what we see within the pierced heart of Jesus for to look there is catch a glimpse of heaven. Jesus said "no' one can enter the kingdom of heaven without being born of Water and Spirit" John 3:5 Out of the heart of Jesus comes the keys to heaven mercy, and fullness of redemption because water and the spirit pours out of there. John 7 37-38 The birth of the Mystical Body of Jesus the church pours out of there. The water and Holy Spirit makes us into a new creation all loving like Jesus and we touch the heart of Jesus by our hearts being transformed by having a pure heart and we see god within ourselves.

In a sense we have climbed the mountain of the lord because we have clean hands and pure hearts and we have been transfigured and hence beautified and have seen heaven. What does this mean? We have in a sense become spiritual and have become a new creation born of water and the Holy Spirit and we have gone up to the kingdom of heaven.

To mediate on the sacred heart of Jesus is to enter his heart to live there and to have his heart and to follow him, all the way to himself. Then we love him as our husband.

The greatest love we can give is to die for others. That is what Christ did he shed his blood for his church, his wife. His heart was "pierced for our transgressions." Isaiah 53:5

The water in the blood it is the cleansing of sin through pure love. The blood was the pure love for us the act of death and the spirit was poured onto the church through the water or life of Jesus or resurrection, because of the blood or death of Jesus.

Chapter 5

Isaiah entering heaven and seeing the pierced heart of Jesus.

Now Isaiah saw the face of God and realised he was a man of unclean lips that is he realised that he had a unclean heart. Isaiah said "Wow to me I am a man of unclean lips and I live amongst a people of unclean lips for my eyes have seen the king the lord of hosts." Isaiah 6:5

Isaiah observed the sacred heart of Jesus and saw that it was pierced for us through love because of our sins. He saw the love that was there to create a clean heart in us.

Love cleansed Isaiah but to stand in front of this ever flowing fountain of love and wisdom is to see how dirty his heart was, and how dirty was the thoughts of his heart which proceeded from his mouth.

Isaiah heart and lips were therefore dirty in the sight of the cleanliness of God's love and wisdom. God and God's word and spirit which stand before the throne of God shines out so brightly it should have blinded Isaiah.

Isaiah could only see Jesus because Jesus became our sinfulness in the flesh because he couldn't behold the true God and live. For even the perfect man is only made in the image of God not God itself.

God transformed Isaiah because he was silenced by confession, and the word of God like fire ascended upon the lips of Jesus when Isaiah drank from the fountain of God's word. Now the word of God, the spirit of love entered the heart of Isaiah and gave him a clean heart, to make him angelic. Now Isaiah was the messenger like the angel of God who said "send me."

Therefore the grace of the blood or death because of the love or spirit of God poured out of the heart of Jesus and washed the evil from the Isaiah.

But Isaiah represents us and it is the water or Holy Spirit because of the blood in metaphor to the death which creates the clean lips and the person is transfigured and is able to come face to face with God because they have drunk love and the spirit and are one flesh with Jesus. They are married to him and they come face to face with the bridegroom who pours out pure love itself, and the first thing that they do is kiss Christ's heart. To create clean lips we wash the mouth with Holy Water or Gods Spirit. Jesus embraces our mouth and breaths the breath of his love or grace into us. As scripture says Lord send forth your spirit and renew the face of the earth. Psalm 104:30 God renews us with his spirit and creates a new creation within us.

But as we have said the first thing God's word does is silence the lips like drinking of water does. We stand face to face at God's glory and we behold pure love itself. The silence of our lips is a revelation of our sinfulness and how dirty that is lacking in love we were and the silence is a formation of a repentant clean heart flowing with living water creating a beautiful garden within us. The blood, water and spirit pours into the mouth of the believer and that kiss of God creates an eruption of love within the individual and the person is transformed. They remove their dirty clothes of ash cloth and death and place on the garment of salvation for they are transformed and shine out god radiant love.

This love pours from the heart of Jesus and that love is from the blood, salvation itself. The bride humbles themselves towards the sacred heart of Jesus and kisses the heart of Jesus and drinks the Eucharist. The wine of God's joy. And it is this wine which rejoices the heart like the touch of a kiss. But this kiss is important because as we have said to drink of the spirit we become married to Christ and become one with Christ and become his body. Therefore not only do we kiss Christ's heart but we also kiss each other's heart. This is very important because you can't kiss Jesus or love the lord without loving each other, as scripture says "what ever you did to the least one of these you did for me." Matthew 25:40.

Isaiah we discussed earlier realised he had unclean lips so how could he truly embrace the lord? How could he kiss, and how could he love with a unclean heart? A clean heart means that he didn't truly love mankind and was full of sin. But the love of God Spirit in the blood of a slain lamb in the bridegroom helped create a clean heart in the bride as scripture says "Create a clean heart within me oh lord put a steadfast spirit within me" Psalm 51:10 and again, "I will take away your stony heart and give you natural hearts." Ezekiel 36:26 This natural heart has been formed by the finger of God which is the spirit. Notice this analogy to the law given on Mount Sinai. Firstly the law was written on stone by the finger of God. In scripture it says "I shall write my laws on the heart." Jeremiah 31:33

So therefore from the kiss pours the spirit out of the heart of God and writes the law of the spirit onto the heart, and the law of the spirit is there to love God and to love each other as scripture says . "Love does no harm to neighbour, therefore love is fulfilment of the law" Romans 13:10

So to sum up the holy spirit or the living word which is the Body and Blood of Christ is a perpetual Pentecost which was set up at the last supper. Here we kiss the heart of Christ and love God and each other and become married to God and each other. It refers to Christ never stopping loving the Church by feeding it with himself which is his love by giving us his word that is Jesus himself.

Chapter 6

Christ the water and light of life in scripture

Lets now examine the evidence that Christ is the water of life through scripture.

The pool of Siloam is a pool and it actually means when translated one sent.

The feast of tabernacles was to remember the water that issued from the rock which was stuck in the desert, now that rock was in metaphor to Christ himself. These next few passages will explain this

"I do not want you to be unaware, brothers that our ancestors were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea, and all of them were baptised into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. All ate the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink for they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them and that rock was Christ". 1: Corinthians 10:1-4

This water pours from Christ's pierced heart. This rock is where water flows and is from the pierced heart of Jesus.

In the old testament the rock was struck by Moses for the people to drink and Moses prefigures the one to come Jesus. Hence it is like Jesus piercing himself like the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep.

Our ancestors were in the desert and put the lord to the test in their sinfulness. The desert represents our hearts. It is a area lacking water or the holy spirit. It is a place where the devil lurks as Jesus was tempted in the desert. Or the devil entered his heart.

The people in the past were craving for water or the Holy Spirit or love. The desert is a prefigurement of us and we crave God's water or God's word to transform our hearts into a desert filled with water, fruits and flowers.

The prophet Zechariah says

"And I shall pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication. And they shall look upon him that they pierced. They shall mourn for him as one weeps for a first born. On that day mourning in Jerusalem shall be as great as the mourning for Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness" Zech 12: 10,11,13:1

Now Hadad Rimmon was a vegetation deity that was meant to rise again after death in the same way a wheat grain dies to make bread. This passage describes a God who dies and rises and who is pierced of which there is a fountain of water that creates salvation and it is this person which comes from the line of David.

In the book of revelation there is water flowing from the lamb Jesus Christ.

"Then the angel showed me the river of life giving water sparking like crystal flowing from the throne of God and of the lamb" Rev 22:1

"The one who sat on the throne said " Behold I make all things new" Then he said " write these words down for they are trustworthy and true" He said to me " They are accomplished I am the alpha and omega the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I shall give a gift from the spring of life giving water. The victor will inherit these gifts and I shall be his god and he will be my son" Rev 21 5-8

It's important to note the angel of God in Rev 22:1. Now the angels always behold the face of God and reflect his glory. It is therefore the water's from the heart of Jesus which transforms them. The water from the heart of Jesus washes the angels and feeds them, it is angelic water. The angels lead us towards heaven to where they feed and are sustained by God itself. The angels therefore lead us to God where the rivers of living water flow.

Also Jesus is seen as a temple whom God raises up whom the prophet Ezekiel see's in as vision of having water flowing from the alter. The new temple is Jesus therefore and we being the mystical body of Jesus should be overflowing with water or life.

"Jesus said Destroy his temple and in three days I will raise it up. The Jews replied " "It has taken forty six years to build this temple are you going to raise it in three days. But he was speaking of the temple that was his body." John 2:19-21

"Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple and I saw water flowing out beneath the threshold of the temple towards the east for the faade of the temple was towards the east the water flowed down the southern side of the temple south of the altar." Ezekiel 47:1

Now out of heart of Jesus flows the water of everlasting life and Jesus is also the light of the world as scripture atones and he is the temple of God. The temple of God provides the light of heaven. The light is love and wisdom because it allows us to see the beauty of God's creation. This light flows from the heart of Jesus and is the water as well, and creates a rainbow of life on the new heaven and earth of creation.

In the book of Sirach chapter 24 it talks about wisdom being water, which only becomes wise when it has watered it's garden, that is creation itself. Creation becomes endowed with the wisdom of the spirit so that fruits of the spirit which is like love, joy, peace, patient, kindness, gentleness and self control grow.

Only when this occurs does wisdom become a river, then an ocean of wisdom.
Wisdom therefore only becomes wise when it learns to love another because of this wisdom and love are beautifully combined and relates to creation being a act of love.

But coming back onto the water being light. The text says after that after this watering of the garden does light shine forth like daybreak. This is a new creation the true creation.

This is like a new genesis of the spirit likened to wisdom or Sophia hovering over the water's of the heart of Jesus of which god thought and hence willed and commanded through the action of his word Jesus Christ stating "let there be light"

The light is like a metaphor of this new day of when the light breaks forth to lighten the world. This is Jesus coming into the world who is the light of the world. Jesus therefore is like this wisdom who waters creation with his spirit in his blood from his heart, because of his love. The piercing of his heart was when the ocean of wisdom which is love flooded out of his heart onto the world. It was this which was when the eruption of light occurred.

This was the new daybreak, the new creation. When allegorically a new heaven was formed. Light in the beauty of a garden in scripture makes us see a glimpse of heaven.

The "spiritual eyes" of the just are able to see this heaven on earth when they make a "heaven" within their hearts. The spiritual eye are in the heart because the true heaven where love dwells has a geography on earth only in one place which is the heart. The blind man in scripture who Jesus made see was not blind for some punishment for sin as some fundamental evangelists proclaim. No because all have sinned and fallen short in the glory of God. Rather it was to reveal the mercy and grace of God. Blindness was an allegorical expression of a person who wasn't able to enjoy life to the full spiritually and see heaven, because his heart was full of darkness and unclean.

The blind man represents those who don't see light which is a metaphor of god or love itself.

For where do we meet god? But in heaven, in a love to love relationship and in communion of hearts.

The blind man represents all those who don't love god and each other and it represents all of us who are full of sin. The blind man eyes were full of darkness for the light of god which is Jesus didn't dwell there, so his heart was blind. The eyes of his heart was dirty He didn't possess light. He didn't have the spirit, the water or life of God and the blood flowing through his heart. What does this really mean? It means he didn't have wisdom or love in his heart, he didn't have the living spirit of the word of god within him. This blind man eyes were full of darkness because he wasn't like Jesus. He didn't follow him, for he was blind. For how could he see him? This means he wasn't like him which means he didn't have a one to one relationship with God and neighbour.

But Jesus wants to come to the blind man the lost sheep, lost, amid the dark valleys of sin and death and he wants to bring him to himself. He has come into to the world to make people have clean hearts. So therefore he guides the sheep to himself, the spring of Siloam, meaning himself or one sent and washes his eyes, This means he is made clean, he drinks the spirit and it gives him a pure heart as scripture says " create a clean heart for me put a stead fast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10 At this moment he is baptised and dies to his sinfulness and is married to Christ and becomes one flesh one spirit in Christ and he is like him. His heart is pierced because of love and love flows onto others, and the blind man becomes light itself, like a light shining on a hilltop and his eyes are full of light. He is therefore made perfect and he sees beauty an analogy of heaven itself. But this beauty is not just outwards from the eye but the true heaven is inwards from the heart for the water and hence the light shines forth from the heart.
But why is he a light shining on a hilltop? Basically because he is a man with clean hands and a pure heart, who has climbed the mountain of the lord, the wisdom of the world is seen and understood. Just like everything can be see from the heights of the mountain.

He is a like sheep on a mountain feeding on grass which is the bread of heaven which is the word of God which at it's heart is love.

It is that love which feeds and sustains the sheep. This vision of heaven in the psalms is a vision of love between god and mankind expressed in beauty to explain that love.

Chapter 7

The 55th chapter of Isaiah

In ancient times the clouds were seen as heaven. The rain coming down from heaven was salvation for people in the desert. In a way it was like god coming down to save them. You could say metaphorically say that the rain was in fact a taste of heaven.
Look at the below passage form the prophet Isaiah

" For just as from the heavens the rain and the snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth, my word shall not return to me void but shall do my will achieving the end for which I sent it" Isaiah 55

Firstly the rain and the snow makes a fertile and fruitful land and gives seeds and bread. The rain and snow is likened to the word of god. Therefore the word of god who is Jesus Christ. "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and was God" John 1:1 does gods will and that will is to water the earth with wisdom and love as Sirach 24 and Isaiah 55 attains. As we have said the water is like the spirit and that Holy Spirit, that metaphorical "wind" of creation which formed the word of god in the incarnation which comes from the mouth of the father reawakens creation. As scripture says "lord send forth your spirit and renew the face of the earth." Psalm 104:30 Therefore this water which is the Holy Spirit creates fruits. The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, and self control, It creates bread from wheat which is the body of Christ, which is the mystical body of the church.

Each member of the Church is seen as a grain of wheat as in scripture where the just are seen as wheat and the unjust as the weeds. As we have said bread is a communion of many wheat grains.

Therefore what this passage means is simple, Jesus came to make pour his holy spirit onto the world so that people might produce love, joy peace, patience gentleness and self control, and that people would be like Jesus, bread or food from heaven, doing the

Will of the father.

Chapter 8

A brief comment on prayer

Lets briefly comment on prayer. Jesus said the true worshipper's will pray in spirit and truth. The Holy Spirit is Love and Wisdom it is "God Like Prayer"

Jesus prayed in a Trinitarian fashion that is he communed with the father through his spirit what does this mean? It means he linked his mind and heart.

The mind of someone is directly related to the thoughts which proceed from the heart. As we have said the spirit of love and of wisdom flows from the heart. Wisdom comes from the mind and yet love comes from the heart. The holy spirit is both wisdom and love as described. The connection between the love for god and loving each other comes from that prayer in spirit and truth. What I mean is that the mind becomes one with heart. When this happens the prayer is spiritual and god like. God only listens to just prayers for God is all love and God is all wise. Jesus was able to converse with the father in spirit and truth because he became all loving and hence all wise. Therefore people need to digest the word of God and drink of the spirit and become one body one spirit in Christ so that they become wise and loving.

Chapter 9

The blind man washed in Christ's light so that his eyes "see" God by the once blind man becoming blessed by grace by having a pure heart.

In this chapter we shall go in deep depth into what baptism really means.

Jesus is the fountain of wisdom which we are all expected to drink from and to be. The prophet Barouch says

"You have forsaken the fountain of wisdom had you not walked in god's ways you would have dwelled in peace forever". Barouch 3

Love creates peace therefore. But there is an interlinking between true wisdom and infinite love.

This water or spirit grows the fruit of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness and self control and is seen as food and the food is to do the will of the father, therefore the will of the father is to be like the qualities of the fruit of the spirit. The water also creates leaves which are like medicine. They heal the nations therefore. Therefore there is a interlinking between the water and peace. This is seen in this passage from the prophet Ezekiel.

" Along both banks of the river fruit trees of every kind shall grow: their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit for they shall be watered from the flow from the sanctuary. Their fruit shall serve for food and their leaves for medicine" Ezekiel 47:12

In Sirach 24 wisdom only becomes an ocean of infinite wisdom when it creates a beautiful garden. Jesus creates a heaven for us when he pierced his heart and poured his love and wisdom which is his spirit in metaphor of water onto us so that we could drink of the spirit and become one body to Jesus that is become married to Jesus and each other.

The eruption of light of love between god and mankind is in metaphor to the garden as explained earlier.

The blind man in the gospels was a prefigurement of baptism. But what is baptism really on Jesus account? Basically it is salvation for us at the expense of Jesus Christ. It is sacrificial love. A ocean of love occurred because of the ocean of suffering of Jesus. But if we become like Jesus Christ aren't we meant to suffer to? We are meant to sacrifice our very lives for each other. Not necessary in death but by thinking of others rather then ourselves. This is death to ourselves. We dip our heads in that ocean of suffering of Christ which is really love and we die with Christ and rise with him into new life and we become a new creation. But what is baptism of fire? Our faith is like gold refined in a furnish, painful but the bad parts of us are destroys leaving only pure gold. This is a purgatory of sacrifice. But there is a relationship which is that the greater the suffering the greater the love we have within us. This washes the heart and transforms it but doesn't destroy it. This is where the holy spirit is seen as fire. Sometimes we see pain as a punishment but in fact it is really god himself making us into himself so that we have empathy inside us which brings us closer to our brother's and sisters and makes us into a holy people.

The baptism of fire is like what Moses saw in the desert and it is a fire that is eternal and never goes out. This is the fire of the Holy Spirit and it burns in our hearts but doesn't destroy it.
The blood of Jesus is like fire because it contains the Holy Spirit. Christ's blood is eternal and is constantly overflowing and renewing us. As the psalms say " How can I repay the lord for his goodness to me? The cup of salvation I will raise I will call on the lord's name" Now to touch the cup is to have clean hands and a clean heart and to be up the mountain of the lord and to raise the cup is to be humbled and be lowly, as scripture says he feeds the poor but the rich he sends away empty.

Now to call on the lords name is to one with Christ's death.
The passage "The ways of death encompassed me the torrents of perdition assailed me, the cords of shoal entangled me the snare of death confronted me and in my distress I called upon the name of the lord". 2nd Samuel 22:5 reveals that Jesus is present when we call on the name of the lord as we offer up the Eucharist for our salvation.

Now baptism also means washing ourselves with water and blood from the heart of Jesus. It is like being clothed with Jesus. It is like drinking of the Holy Spirit in the blood, this means drinking pure love and making ourselves like Jesus Christ, by becoming one flesh with Jesus and becoming married to him as we have explained earlier.

Being like Jesus comes from the heart.

The scripture in revelation, "The saints have washed their robes white in the blood of the lamb" Revelation 7:14 refers to the saints being like Jesus who "follow the lamb wherever he goes" Revelation 14:4 Which is the streams of living waters or pool of Siloam or himself.

But why are the saints dressed in white? Firstly it relates to us being like sheep, Jesus is the good shepherd who laid down his life for his sheep. We are the sheep therefore who follow Jesus to the green pasture and the streams of living water. Jesus carries the lost sheep and holds it in his arms.

Also white reflects pure light. Pure light is a metaphor of love and wisdom which is of God himself. Light also creates all colours and beauty and perfection itself. The saints bodies reflect beauty and perfection because they are transfigured and hence are perfect.

When we drink from the heart of Jesus, we open our mouths and hearts and sing a new song which is the alleluia. A song of peace of unification of God and mankind. It is only sung by those who see God which is the beatific vision. God dwells in an unapproachable light, which is love incomprehensible.

But as scriptures says " By thy light we see light" Psalm 36:9 This means we become love itself. We become illuminated as we have risen from the dead which is the deeds of darkness and evil and exposed them and Christ has shined upon us. The light of a new day a new creation shines forth in us and creates a beautiful garden within us.

The passage from Isaiah says

"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light, they rejoice as at harvest time" Isaiah 9:1-7 represents people who walked in darkness, that is in evil and yet they see light and a vision of god and of heaven, of light and beauty. Beautiful grace of God of the forgiveness of our sins as we change and become more loving.

But why use harvest time?

Basically because Jesus is the bread of life. After Jesus crucifixion he revealed himself to his disciples on the way to Emmaus and his disciples only recognised him at the breaking of bread. This means two things. Firstly Jesus is the word of God therefore the disciples only saw Jesus at the opening of the scriptures which is directly related to the digesting of bread or the word of God.

Secondly the light is Christ feeding the disciples on himself it denotes the harvest, which is the cross and denotes a love and marriage feast. The disciples feed on love and become love itself. Therefore it is them who become light who see light because of Christ's light and hence become illuminated with love and wisdom and see or recognise Jesus.

Chapter 10

"The wheat grain" "A person" " A word of God" " Spoken to create a bread or communion of persons one in the spirit of Christ Jesus"

In the text from Isaiah

"I will pour out water upon the thirsty ground and streams upon the dry ground: I will pour out my spirit upon your offspring they shall spring up amid the verdure beside the flowing water" Isaiah 44:3-4

We are able to correlate the thirsting ground to the heart of the sinner thirsting for god.

Take the psalm for instance.

"As a deer longs for longing streams so my soul longs for you oh lord when shall I see god face to face." Psalm 42:1

In Christological terms it is the heart from where the streams of living water flows as scripture says

"Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water" John 7: 37,38

Now at Pentecost streams didn't appear on dry land. We shouldn't take the text literally rather allegorically. The streams in Isaiah refer to the river of life flowing through us. We who were once an arid desert within us are a flowering land lush with water.
If we understand what water means doesn't this psalm make sense?

"You care for the earth, give it riches, Your river in heaven brims over to provide it's grain. And thus you provide for the earth. You drench it's furrows. You level it, soften it with showers. You bless it's growth. You crown the year with your goodness. Abundance flows in your steps. In the pastures of the wilderness it flows. The hills are girdled with joy. The meadows covered with flocks. The valleys are decked with wheat. They shout for joy, yes they sing." Ps 64:10-14

This water is as we have said in Isaiah 55 is the word of God. It is wisdom. It is the Living Spirit of the word flowing from the heart of Jesus. It is the book of love. The riches could be ascribed to the riches of love and faith. This river flows from the lamb which described as a life giving water flowing from heaven in Revelation 22. The marriage feast of the drinking of the Holy Spirit makes us one flesh one spirit in Christ and hence into the mystical body of Jesus by us become wheat grains and bread.

The next part looks at abundance flowing in gods steps. In the wilderness it flows. In psalms there is a passage that says "Your word is a lamp to my steps." Psalm119:136 This water is light. This living word is beauty and love and it flows into the hearts of sinners because it flows in the wilderness. It makes the hills become a light shining forth wherever the water flows and where ever God's offspring emerge and where God's children shine forth love and who sing for joy.

As Isaiah says

"I will pour out water upon the thirsty ground and streams upon the dry land. I will pour out my spirit upon your offspring. They shall spring up amid the verdure beside the flowing water" Isaiah 44 3-4

John is the voice crying to those with dry hearts saying prepare the way of the lord and repent as scripture says.

"A voice cries in the wilderness, prepare the way of the lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our god." Isaiah 40: 1-10

For the coming of God is the preparing of the heart for God's Spirit. In metaphor to water.

If the desert is our hearts then John the Baptist who is the voice crying in the wilderness and also Jesus himself is saying "prepare a highway for God" which is a highway of light and water so that grains of wheat of the harvest may grow. In the Eucharist we eat bread which are grains of wheat. We plant grains or the living word of God into our hearts. Each living grain is a person of the world. We plant the needs of others in our heart therefore.

The seed or the word of God from wheat spreads which means we are expected to evangelise nations then we make bread, which is the church. Therefore we must break our bread to the hungry which is those who haven't digested the word of God. This doesn't mean just creating belief itself but it actually means making others into bread or into Jesus. This means making them loving and kind. Making them therefore into the true body of Christ. We are expected to open our hearts to the thirsty. So that by having a heart that pieced like the heart of Jesus which is pure and clean because it has God's Spirit within then we may give out love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness and self control to people who don't possess those fruits of the spirit. So that these people may drink of the Holy Spirit within us and give us back those fruits to others.

Chapter 11

Understanding why Jesus needed to be baptised and why Jesus thirsting reveals that love for himself became less then love for us.

On the cross Christ said that he thirsted. What does this mean? Does it mean that his mystical body, which is his people was thirsting? This means they were lacking in love? They weren't united to God and each other. Jesus said that he thirsted and what he really meant was an invitation to his people that they would give him and each other love. He wanted them to pierce their hearts therefore and die with him. For Jesus to die he would be fully married to the church. To be baptised therefore he needed to wash his mystical body which is the church with love and remove their sins by grace.

But could the below text mean something more profound?

"And I like a conduit from a river, like a watercourse running into a garden. I said " I am going to water my orchard. I intend to irrigate my flower beds. And see my conduit has grown into a river and my river has grown into a sea. I shall send it's light far and wide." Sirach 24

Christ's wisdom and love will create a garden, The garden is the married renewed church. The water could only be poured after the blood of the lamb was shed. But the blood being shed was infinite because the river grows into a sea. But then we come to the important part because only when there is a sea does light shine forth. Only when Christ dies and loves another and pours out the spirit of wisdom does true love and beauty come about. This is when the garden springs up. However the love is infinite as the sea is eternal. Therefore if this water or love flows from Christ's heart then perhaps he actually does thirst? What does this mean? It means his love flows out at the expense of himself. For no greater love is that a man lays down his life for his friends. It is this love and grace which created a heaven for us.

As we have said baptism is about decent into death creating death of ourselves for others so that we can rise to new life with Christ. This is rebirth of water and the holy spirit in that we are purified and made clean in heart. But we also need to be purged as this text says

"The ways of death encompassed me the torrents of perdition assailed me, the cords of shoal entangled me the snare of death confronted me and in my distress I called upon the name of the lord". 2nd Samuel 22:5

Christ was all the time praying to the father for our sins to be forgiven and in doing so he sent the Holy Spirit to purge our sins. Prayer of the son to the father is how grace is showered down to us. Only the Son of God pleads for us at the right hand of the father.

Conclusion

In this document we have explained how many areas of scripture reveal how we can modelled into Jesus Christ. To be shaped into Jesus Christ we need to become a new creation we need to crucify our dead flesh by believing in him and dying with him so that we can rise again to new life. This death is by dying to sin and raising to new life in the Holy Spirit. This requires grace and love which pours forth from the sacred heart of Jesus and which washes us with forgiveness by Christ praying for us at the right hand of the father.
