MenuThe story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.
Paper 162:6.1-2
The Urantia Book
Jesus attended the great autumn feast in Jerusalem and observed the solemn rituals. One of the rituals had to do with water. At one point, Jesus stood among the crowd of worshipers and said some startling things. He told them that he was the source of living water, which would fully satisfy their spiritual thirst. He said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.” Jesus also spoke words from scripture saying that out of him, “shall flow rivers of living water.”
Discussion Questions
We know what it is like to feel thirsty, but what is spiritual thirst? Jesus is the source of living truth. What are some truths that we are thirsty for? The people, who heard Jesus that day, did not yet know about the outpouring of the Spirit.
Now hath the truth come unto thee from thy Lord.
Be not therefore of those who doubt. (Islam)
The Spirit of truth will guide you into all truth. (Christianity)
