Why is Jesus referred to as 'rivers of water'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called 'rivers of water' because He satisfies the spiritual thirst of believers with His living water.

In the imagery presented in Isaiah 32:2, Jesus is referred to as 'rivers of water in a dry place', symbolizing His ability to provide spiritual sustenance and refreshment. The world is often depicted as a barren desert, where no earthly pleasure can genuinely satisfy our deepest longings.

Through Christ, believers receive life-giving grace that quenches their spiritual thirst. He promises, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink,' demonstrating that He alone can fulfill our need for joy and peace. This relational aspect of coming to Jesus assures us of His willingness to nourish and sustain us spiritually, leading to a fruitful and fulfilling life in His presence.
