@@Serquss The Euchairst practice is not neccesary as in the literal. Jesus didnt mean that you should LITERALLY eat His Flesh and drink His blood. We aren't cannibals...
@@70AD-user45 It really doesn't, the Bible is NOT up to interpetation: John 5:51-63 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[c] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus[d] said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum. The Words of Eternal Life 60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Shortly after saying this: 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Jesus says: 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. So, Jesus's words are Spirit and not flesh. This clearly shows Jesus did NOT mean for us to LITERALY eat Him and drink Him. This is supported by Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16 and many other verses which are clear we are saved by faith and not by cannibalism.
Us silly humans always thirst for more religion, more bibliolatry, more spirituality, more superstition. Always hunger for peace, and thirst for war. Nothing has changed in 2,000 years... nor 4,000 years...even the Pslams exclaim this: "Nothing new under the Sun". Even the Bibliolatry bears witness against itself "For the Spirit gives life, but the Letter kills!" ~ Paul the man who collected money from Churches (some of which he initially funded himself but did not really upkeep) throughout the Roman Empire.
@@Nana-Sheri Souls, know it, we are no longer baptize by water, WE ARE BAPTIZED BY HOLY SPIRIT. Acts Chapter 10 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Acts 1:5 KJV For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 11:16 KJV Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Galatians 3:27 - For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Acts 22:16 - And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 14:26 KJV But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 15:26 KJV But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: What sins babies committed that they need baptized? the reason, adults think, "baby baptized" saved them? BIBLE gives picture, that the worry of being baptized and right with GOD, is each adult`s worry. ADULTS SIN, NOT BABIES.

Amen! Thank You Jesus. I was baptized 4 Days ago and I needed this. This is amazing, more amazing than I could have ever possibly imagined!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU GOD I LOVE YOU JESUSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever noticed how many streams, rivers, springs, and wells are highlighted in the story of the Bible? It’s a lot! In the beginning of the Bible, God transforms a desolate wilderness into a garden through a stream that waters the ground (Genesis 2:4-6). The clay created by the water becomes the origin place of humans (Genesis 2:7), trees (Genesis 2:9), and animals (Genesis 2:19), creating the ideal heaven-on-earth place called “the garden of delight” (“eden” means “delight” in Hebrew). God provides these waters from “the deep” that he contained and ordered under the dry land in Genesis 1. There is a crucially important part of the Eden story in Genesis 2:10-14, which describes a river that comes out from the garden. After flowing out of Eden, it separates and flows into four regions of the land. This is an image of God’s living water that brought life to Eden, going out to bring that same life to the different parts of the dry land. God’s water of life is what supplies our world with abundance, food, and sustenance. After the humans foolishly rebel and find themselves exiled from the garden, and life outside the garden is not easy (Genesis 3:17-19). But throughout the biblical story, there are many key moments where people are rescued or their needs are met at places of water. People find the surprise of living of water at wells (like Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob in Genesis 21:22-33, 26:18-25, or 29:1-11), springs in the desert (like Hagar in Genesis 16:7 and 21:15-21), or oases in the wilderness (Exodus 15:22-27). All of these stories about the water of life show how God wants to gives his people the gift of his own creative power and life, but their many failures and selfish decisions keep landing them in deserted places. This theme is brought to a crisis point in the story of Israel’s exile, which the prophet Ezekiel depicts as a valley of dry bones that can only be saved through God’s water of life and the power of his Spirit (Ezekiel 36:22-30 and 37:1-14). This is the hope that is carried forward in the story of Jesus, who was himself empowered by God’s Spirit as he was immersed in the waters of the Jordan River (Mark 1:9-13). He then went about Israel offering the life of God’s Kingdom, which he often likened to an abundant garden (Matthew 13). And he even spoke of himself as the one bringing the water of God’s life into the world (John 4:7-14 and 7:37-39). This helps us to understand the fascinating scene of Jesus’ crucifixion when he is stabbed by the spear of a Roman soldier (John 19:34) and both blood and water come flowing out of Jesus. The dying body of Jesus becomes the source of life that will spread into God’s new creation that began with the resurrection of Jesus, in a garden no less! (John 19:41 and 20:11-17). This helps us understand why the images of the tree of life and the water of life are combined in John’s description of the renewed creation (Revelation 22:1-2). They are both images of God’s own life and love made available to his creation. And so the story of the Bible ends the way it begins, but in the new creation, the water of life is emerging “from the throne of God from the lamb” (Revelation 22:1). Jesus is the source and conduit of God’s own life, which he’s made available to a world of thirsty people.

have a small personal favor to ask to the Bible Project team; I wanted to show to my mom a video that was published around 2 years ago called How to Read the Bible: Biblical Story , so I wanted to put subtitles in Serbian so that she can understand everything, I soon found out that someone has already translated the whole video from English to Serbian yet there still isn't this option to put up those Serbian subtitles in the video, there are 26 other subtitles but that one still isn't available. Could someone approve those subtitles so that my mom can understand everything? Thank you in advance and thank you for all this amazing content, God bless.
I noticed that several spouses in scripture met by a well. It's how Jacob and Rachel met one another (Genesis 29:1-11). It's how Moses met Zipporah, along with her sisters (Exodus 2:15-21). When Abraham sent his servant Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac, he found Rebekah by a well. Sometime later, as Eliezer and Rebekah travelled to Canaan to meet Isaac, Isaac was travelling from the well of Lahai Roi. (Genesis 24:12-14; 62-67)
In Hebrew, the words for woman form the idea of “water”, so the woman is the water of the house, for good or bad: remember proverbs talking about a woman as a well of blessing or an annoing leak (there are more examples). Going further, if the Word of God is the water, and woman was the responsible one for getting it, the task of every woman is to bring life to her house, Work, church, etc.
@@AaronMychael thanks for the tip, but I've listened to every Bible Project podcast and relistened to many. I'm relistened to their Acts series right now because I teach religious college classes and have an upcoming class next semester.
Well, beside the outstanding graphics which always leaves me open mouthed ! .. the script itself is filled with the light of the bible .. your way of explaining and connecting the facts and the truth of the bible are simple and exceptional .. keep on the amazing work guys, we need it ! I would like to thank you for changing my life, you brought me nearer to our Lord Jesus Christ :)
I love this so much! I've literally written an album about this. The spiritual condition of the world represented by an unending drought, and each song tells a piece of the journey back to the source of living water. I love The Bible Projects big picture perspective on these kinds of themes! I've taken a lot of inspiration from you guys (especially loved when you talked about the concept of going through the waters and out to the other side, relating creation, exodus, and baptism...so good!)
"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." (Isaiah 55:1, ESV)
I prayed and I told God that He can send rain to wash the impurities of the Earth and listen to Elijah story and Song about latter rain and it rains the next Morning.. GOD provides.. And I Cried..God listens to prayers with Faith..
“We are always thirsty for more”. Beautiful. It is truly a blessing that I watched this video. We as people always strive to gain more and allow our greed to rule over our lives. Instead, we must appreciate what the Lord has provided and trust in his plan 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thankyou Lord for the rivers of living water. Your water keeps us nourished and well hydrated in the spirit. May we overflow & pour streams of life into the people around us, so they may see you. Amen 🦋
It's called "types" or "typology"-- how one thing can symbolize another thing and vice versa! How things in the Old Testament are symbols that are meant to point toward Jesus! even the prophecies like in Isiah were types which were pointing and symbolizing our Master! and how it's all connected perfectly!
It's all because the Old Testament from the first word pointed to Jesus. Remember, God already had a plan to redeem and reconcile us to Himself before the foundation of the world.
I think people will always have ways to make your videos “better.” Or point out the things you missed. But I love how @BibleProject you guys start in the garden, talk about the problem of sin, show the importance of Jesus, and lead into our need to make a choice to follow Him. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and love how you keep to the simplicity of the gospel and how you always talk about Jesus and include Him in every video. You guys do a great job, God is glorified through these videos.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peacewas on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
I was sad becase it rained on my wedding and i asked God plenty of times why it rained. Thank you for a depth understanding about water.. It made me feel grateful to know the biblical meaning of Rain or Water
Recently God gave me a vision at night about a very big stream. I woke up when I heard water rushing. The well flowed through “the garden of desire”. This video gave me more explanation. Thank you Lord 💖
Put your faith in the Lord and not in men. When you pray, pray in the spirit. Put your complete trust in the Lord. Those who wait upon the Lord shall mount up with wings, shall walk and not faint, shall run and not be weary. Wait upon the Lord, not upon men. God bless... praise Jesus.
It has brought me to tears... Such a beautiful way of bringing what God meant for each one of us that we might be able to come and join and part take of this gift. And most of all to let Jesus himself be that source of water💧.... Thank you!!! for making this video.
This is soooooooooo exactly what happens to me when I spend time alone with God! He fills me up so much that I feel full of pure love and pure life that is more refreshing than anything else I’ve ever experienced!!!! Thank you for making this beautiful animation explaining what is soooo real and true!!
Wow this actually so deep, when I read the bible , the part when the soldier thrusts Jesus , it said blood and water came out but I never cared to think about it , I love this video. God Bless you Guys and this channel
Your videos are amazing and the way you explain God's word and the Bible is very eloquent and understandable. Keep those wonderful videos coming! I hope that you and your families are safe, healthy and have a wonderful Easter!
I have always felt so calm around water bodies it feels like a bath for my soul. With my faith renewed the seeking of God is helping me to quench my thirst for earthly desires
Your illustrations make the stories of the Bible sooo beautiful...after binge watching soo many of your videos make perspective has greatly changed even though I have been a Christian all my life. Thank you.
This is so great! I've started reading the Bible from the beginning with the connections between the first two and two last chapters of The Bible in mind, and it's so exciting! Also started writing what each chapter says about me in some way, and God. I also hope to get a more clearer understanding on what baptism is, and if the saving happens because of the baptism, or because I've been saved I get baptised.
@Payton Storey yeah, I know of that view. The Lutheran view though, is that because Holy Spirit gives faith, and you receive Holy Spirit in baptism, infants should be baptised. And then when it talks about in John 3 that you can only enter Heaven if you're born of water and spirit, and other texts about that baptism saves. And that baptism is important for anyone any age because we've got sin from conception. But those are some things I'm looking to challenge or confirm from my reading 😊
My small group at church is doing a study of the gospel of John, and this video (along with quite a few others) have been really helpful to me while I'm prepping every week. Thanks, y'all!
Your "Project" is So Amazing! Just found out about y'all one year ago. Been reading the Bible for 30 years, and just now realized about the "water" flowing from Jesus side, while on the Cross, as I watched Your video!
LOVE how you draw this beautyFULL theme weaved throughout God's story, altogether, culminating in Jesus, available to ALL who would come to Him and *trust* 💓 Thank You Jesus!!!
Bible project, thank you so much. Right now I'm struggling and want to get back to where I was with God. It's hard and I'm struggling, but your videos are helping get there day by day
Thanks guys for the effort that you guys put in so we can learn and confirm the work that God is doing in our lives. Thanks for the work guys, it's changing lives and giving life. Thanks Bible Project
Great video, connecting the whole biblical message this way, I never thought off. You have opened a new window for me when reading and studying the bible.
Strangely, one of the things that troubles me during the current pandemic is that the beaches are closed. I find being near water is exhilarating and soothing at the same time. Thankfully, my soul will never experience this kind of frustration thanks to God's work in my life. Your videos and teaching are amazing.
3:19 Powerful. My family watched _Ben-Hur_ (1959) last night. Your video reminded me of the blood mingled with water towards the end of that powerful film. What a Savior we have!
This was so beautifully written and spoken! Our Lord is the Fountain of Life! Never thirsty again my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! No more thirst! Hallelujah!!! God bless you all!
No nothing is missing in the Bible my friend, everything's connected and interwoven like a big tapestry linking everything in so many ways from Genesis to Revelation we just have to look and be open to the Holy Spirit's guidance and direction!
I wanted to say thank you for this video, I've been drinking from so many streams and am still thirsty. I'll go back to my basics in Christ. Thank you for the video
Wow, what a happy coincidence that this episode unpacks the symbol of well, which is also present in The Chosen episode 8 livestreamed just a few days ago!
have a small personal favor to ask to the Bible Project team; I wanted to show to my mom a video that was published around 2 years ago called How to Read the Bible: Biblical Story , so I wanted to put subtitles in Serbian so that she can understand everything, I soon found out that someone has already translated the whole video from English to Serbian yet there still isn't this option to put up those Serbian subtitles in the video, there are 26 other subtitles but that one still isn't available.

The Tunnell Take Pray for what? To instantly learn English miraculously and understand the language of the video? Lol. You totally missed the point of his request.
@The Tunnell Take Hello man learning how to read the bible is good! im new to it as well and reading the bible is literally like reading GOD. For He says in John 1: in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.... I need to work on prayer too but lets keep treating people as God would... I need to work on it too but *Ephesians **4:32** ESV* 🚒 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. *Luke **6:31** ESV* / 1,106 helpful votes 🌟 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. *Ephesians **4:29**-32 ESV* 🌟 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Here is an interesting fact: when a person's heart ruptures, the water from the sternum often breaks out, which could be a plausible explanation for why both blood and water came out of Jesus' side, and why he died early for a crucifixion, because our sins broke his physical self.
It's all a combination of various things which fit together perfectly in so many ways that cover any and all possible ground,vistas and avenues which all relate together so beautifully like myriad puzzle pieces!
All I can say is thank you Yahweh for the love you put on our brothers and sisters at Bible Project to make possible to spread the gospel and make it fascinating to seek more your beautiful BIBLE. Lord please continue to bless them and their families keep them safe in this time and forever in Jesus Yeshua’s name Amen 🙇♀️🧎♀️
Amazing! This is why there's NO LIFE AT ALL without the Holy Spirit living inside of us! And this is only possible through our faith in Jesus, in what He has done at the cross, by the good will of God! God bless you all from The Bible project!

Can I still buy a poster from when you guys made biblical teachings from book of bible? So for example when you did Job can I buy that poster?
Nothing can satisfy the souls of men. Except Jesus! 🙏😇❤
Amen true statement.
Amen 🙏🩸💦🌎🥺
Amen
Many is satisfied with their lives..But don't have any relationship, with Jesus Christ. Which is wrong in God sight. Repent before it's too late. 🙏🏿
I noticed that several spouses in scripture met by a well.
It's how Jacob and Rachel met one another (Genesis 29:1-11).
It's how Moses met Zipporah, along with her sisters (Exodus 2:15-21).
When Abraham sent his servant Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac, he found Rebekah by a well. Sometime later, as Eliezer and Rebekah travelled to Canaan to meet Isaac, Isaac was travelling from the well of Lahai Roi. (Genesis 24:12-14; 62-67)
Deep insight!
That's so cool
In Hebrew, the words for woman form the idea of “water”, so the woman is the water of the house, for good or bad: remember proverbs talking about a woman as a well of blessing or an annoing leak (there are more examples). Going further, if the Word of God is the water, and woman was the responsible one for getting it, the task of every woman is to bring life to her house, Work, church, etc.
Conclusion: Move to the beach to meet my husband. Got it!
The one time Jesus announces himself as the messiah- to the Samaritan woman by Jacobs well.
Because we the church are his wife 💡
I wish this video could be hours long and show every reference to this refreshing theme. So good!
Check out the Bible Project podcast ... the videos are really only a fraction of the discussions they have.
@@AaronMychael thanks for the tip, but I've listened to every Bible Project podcast and relistened to many. I'm relistened to their Acts series right now because I teach religious college classes and have an upcoming class next semester.
Funny 😁
me too 😔
It makes since how I am always drawn to water, streams, rocks, nature…I somehow feel connected to God through it. ❤️
The art style in this video has such a peaceful and unique design, I love it
Well, beside the outstanding graphics which always leaves me open mouthed ! .. the script itself is filled with the light of the bible .. your way of explaining and connecting the facts and the truth of the bible are simple and exceptional .. keep on the amazing work guys, we need it !
I would like to thank you for changing my life, you brought me nearer to our Lord Jesus Christ :)
I love this so much! I've literally written an album about this. The spiritual condition of the world represented by an unending drought, and each song tells a piece of the journey back to the source of living water. I love The Bible Projects big picture perspective on these kinds of themes! I've taken a lot of inspiration from you guys (especially loved when you talked about the concept of going through the waters and out to the other side, relating creation, exodus, and baptism...so good!)
The picture of Jesus towering like a giant and water flowing from Him was such a great shot. Beautiful animation!
BLESS ALL GOD'S CHILDREN WITH HIS SPRING OF LIFE
These visuals are ALWAYS fantastic, but the sound effects are EVERYTHING! I LOVE THE BIBLE PROJECT!
"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." (Isaiah 55:1, ESV)
I've never have seen those passages like these! The water of life in all of those moments! It's awesome!
Hi Baby 😘💋💋😘❤️😍😘💋💋😘💋
U look totally amazing ❤️💋💋😍😘💋💋😘
The water of life, Jesus, the one true source of all the needs. He is praiseworthy. 😊🙏
I prayed and I told God that He can send rain to wash the impurities of the Earth and listen to Elijah story and Song about latter rain and it rains the next Morning.. GOD provides..
And I Cried..God listens to prayers with Faith..
“We are always thirsty for more”. Beautiful. It is truly a blessing that I watched this video. We as people always strive to gain more and allow our greed to rule over our lives. Instead, we must appreciate what the Lord has provided and trust in his plan 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thankyou Lord for the rivers of living water. Your water keeps us nourished and well hydrated in the spirit. May we overflow & pour streams of life into the people around us, so they may see you. Amen 🦋
The Bible project is simply dope. You guys have given me a better understanding about a lot in the Bible. Beautiful work everyone!
I'm always impressed with how you connect the imagery of the Old Testament to the New Testament in ways that I've never studied before!
It's called "types" or "typology"-- how one thing can symbolize another thing and vice versa! How things in the Old Testament are symbols that are meant to point toward Jesus! even the prophecies like in Isiah were types which were pointing and symbolizing our Master! and how it's all connected perfectly!
It's all because the Old Testament from the first word pointed to Jesus. Remember, God already had a plan to redeem and reconcile us to Himself before the foundation of the world.
well..i know that from the old testament to the new testament
i say its very cooLLLL,!!!!
He that believes on me out of his belly will flow rivers of living water The words of Christ
The living water is the Holy Spirit which Jesus talked about.
@@SGOV86 Yes it is my beloved brother in Messiah. I feel like the Holy Spirit is another way the our God YaHU'eH is Immanu El. GOD WITH US.
@@ikilledthewendigo4745 amen. Be blessed.
My wife, our 2 children and I just watched this video premiere together in our living room during self-isolation. Missing Tim & Jon!
KC Miles , us too. Kids found it easy to understand. Great website
This literally brought me to tears over the glory and goodness of God's dealings with us. Makes my heart ache for the New Heavens and the New Earth.
Nice posts, thanks for sharing & God bless!
I love the way you illustrated the importance of god in our self image through the reflection in the water, genious details guys, love yall
I think people will always have ways to make your videos “better.” Or point out the things you missed. But I love how @BibleProject you guys start in the garden, talk about the problem of sin, show the importance of Jesus, and lead into our need to make a choice to follow Him. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and love how you keep to the simplicity of the gospel and how you always talk about Jesus and include Him in every video. You guys do a great job, God is glorified through these videos.
I'm thirsty. God''s timing is perfect.
Thirsty? That's the understatement of the week!
Dbusdriver71 I think parched describes a lot of people these past couple weeks.
Joshy Washy amen. Let’s get our fill of Jesus, who won’t let our cup empty.
I was just telling God that in prayer.
@@joshywashy3453 It sure does joshy! For some people its been a long time.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peacewas on him,
and by his wounds we are healed."
Amen....there's part of this scripture more than once in the word I think is this Isaiah 53...
Yalls program is such a blessing and is anointed by the Father! Thank you and keep it up! I really appreciate he work that goes into it💖
I was sad becase it rained on my wedding and i asked God plenty of times why it rained. Thank you for a depth understanding about water..
It made me feel grateful to know the biblical meaning of Rain or Water
I drink the water of life , oh how I thirst of deep Wells . Thank you Jesus ✝️
Recently God gave me a vision at night about a very big stream. I woke up when I heard water rushing. The well flowed through “the garden of desire”. This video gave me more explanation. Thank you Lord 💖
Can someone pray for me? I’m going through a rough time.
what is your name? I will pray for you.
Put your faith in the Lord and not in men.
When you pray, pray in the spirit. Put your complete trust in the Lord.
Those who wait upon the Lord shall mount up with wings, shall walk and not faint, shall run and not be weary.
Wait upon the Lord, not upon men.
God bless... praise Jesus.
I hope you got better
@@pinkrose7646 I have
You're in my prayers! Remember, whatever you're going through, however you're feeling, it is only temporary. Much love, God bless.🤍
Your timing is perfect Lord! Thanks for leading me to this video. I’m thirsty.
Water of life! Thirst no more.
The one ad that's actually true!
It has brought me to tears... Such a beautiful way of bringing what God meant for each one of us that we might be able to come and join and part take of this gift. And most of all to let Jesus himself be that source of water💧....
Thank you!!! for making this video.
Today i saw this channel. Thanks for sharing lessons from the Bible in informative and understanding way.
|🇮🇳
The fact that you guys aren't even putting up ads with these amazing videos is truly gracious.
Thank you for all that you do.
Amazing animations...
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never
hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
This is soooooooooo exactly what happens to me when I spend time alone with God! He fills me up so much that I feel full of pure love and pure life that is more refreshing than anything else I’ve ever experienced!!!! Thank you for making this beautiful animation explaining what is soooo real and true!!
Wow this actually so deep, when I read the bible , the part when the soldier thrusts Jesus , it said blood and water came out but I never cared to think about it , I love this video. God Bless you Guys and this channel
As I grow older I thirst for more knowlege about God and the bible. Your channel helps me learned more
Your videos are amazing and the way you explain God's word and the Bible is very eloquent and understandable. Keep those wonderful videos coming! I hope that you and your families are safe, healthy and have a wonderful Easter!
I have always felt so calm around water bodies it feels like a bath for my soul. With my faith renewed the seeking of God is helping me to quench my thirst for earthly desires
Oh my God this is so beautiful 😍💓😍💓😍💓the message, the symbolism, the scenes. Thanks for your selfless effort guys I really appreciate it!! 🙏💕💕💕💕
Your illustrations make the stories of the Bible sooo beautiful...after binge watching soo many of your videos make perspective has greatly changed even though I have been a Christian all my life. Thank you.
This is so great! I've started reading the Bible from the beginning with the connections between the first two and two last chapters of The Bible in mind, and it's so exciting! Also started writing what each chapter says about me in some way, and God. I also hope to get a more clearer understanding on what baptism is, and if the saving happens because of the baptism, or because I've been saved I get baptised.
@Payton Storey yeah, I know of that view. The Lutheran view though, is that because Holy Spirit gives faith, and you receive Holy Spirit in baptism, infants should be baptised. And then when it talks about in John 3 that you can only enter Heaven if you're born of water and spirit, and other texts about that baptism saves. And that baptism is important for anyone any age because we've got sin from conception. But those are some things I'm looking to challenge or confirm from my reading 😊
@Payton Storey thank you! Yeah, I'm sure I'll get a clearer image from searching the Scriptures 😁 God bless you too!
My small group at church is doing a study of the gospel of John, and this video (along with quite a few others) have been really helpful to me while I'm prepping every week. Thanks, y'all!
Psalm 46: 4....There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
This video inspired me do a deep study on how living water is the holy spirit of christ and likely his blood as well
Words, just words.
None of it is real.
@@JamesRichardWiley you looking for an argument?
@@JamesRichardWiley if that was true then you don't exist and you're not real
"God is within her; she will not fall. God will help her at break of day."
2:20 keep watching this over and over again. Can’t get over how amazing that looked.
Before Jesus died he said "I thirst". Thank you Jesus for your compassion and experiencing our thirst in your suffering.
Your "Project" is So Amazing! Just found out about y'all one year ago. Been reading the Bible for 30 years, and just now realized about the "water" flowing from Jesus side, while on the Cross, as I watched Your video!
Wow, this was a super interesting video. Never realized the massive symbolism of water in the Bible!
Great video guys! Thank you!
Yes, it was indeed super interesting!
Massive symbolism.
Yes.
None of it is real or true.
It's just endless make believe.
@@JamesRichardWiley John 3:3
LOVE how you draw this beautyFULL theme weaved throughout God's story, altogether, culminating in Jesus, available to ALL who would come to Him and *trust* 💓 Thank You Jesus!!!
I'm not thirsty anymore because of watching this video. Guys, you put His absolutely-beautiful-work, in your absolutely beautiful art work.
Bible project, thank you so much. Right now I'm struggling and want to get back to where I was with God. It's hard and I'm struggling, but your videos are helping get there day by day
Thanks guys for the effort that you guys put in so we can learn and confirm the work that God is doing in our lives.
Thanks for the work guys, it's changing lives and giving life. Thanks Bible Project
How amazing the connections of the "well" stories! BibleProject team is the best!
Great video, connecting the whole biblical message this way, I never thought off. You have opened a new window for me when reading and studying the bible.
It’s so amazing to find Jesus in every little story and image of the Bible and in the World, wow, JESUS IS INDEED EVERYTHING IN EVERYTHING.
Strangely, one of the things that troubles me during the current pandemic is that the beaches are closed. I find being near water is exhilarating and soothing at the same time. Thankfully, my soul will never experience this kind of frustration thanks to God's work in my life. Your videos and teaching are amazing.
3:19 Powerful.
My family watched _Ben-Hur_ (1959) last night.
Your video reminded me of the blood mingled with water towards the end of that powerful film.
What a Savior we have!
Great theme! I’ve never connected all of the stories of the water of life together until now!
This video is how humanity should act towards eachother. Not the fighting but sharing ideas and treating people with love.
Outstanding video! As always, I'm so appreciative how the spirit moves you guys and your staff to present the word so vividly through your artform!
Funny 😆
I love the Bible Project. Thank you all you do. It helps me make it through each day.
This channel blessing me so much, thank you and kisses from Brazil 💙✝️
Amen! Praise and thanks be to God almighty, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit! Thanks so much for this! God bless you all! 🙏🙏🙏
So amazing! We need this especially now! Great work ❤🙏🏽✝️
This was so beautifully written and spoken! Our Lord is the Fountain of Life! Never thirsty again my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! No more thirst! Hallelujah!!! God bless you all!
I feel like a huge thing was missed here: Holy Spirit IS the water of life!
John 7:39 "By this he meant the Spirit..."
No nothing is missing in the Bible my friend, everything's connected and interwoven like a big tapestry linking everything in so many ways from Genesis to Revelation we just have to look and be open to the Holy Spirit's guidance and direction!
@@Georgia-Vic he didnt say missing from the Bible... he meant missing from this video
Watch again… it’s there. 3:40
I wanted to say thank you for this video, I've been drinking from so many streams and am still thirsty. I'll go back to my basics in Christ.
Thank you for the video
Wow, what a happy coincidence that this episode unpacks the symbol of well, which is also present in The Chosen episode 8 livestreamed just a few days ago!
I pray every night that season 2 will happen! I can’t get enough of that show.
Thank you bible project. These videos are from God. Praise God.
God Bless 🕊️
Wonderful.
I absolutely LOVE the way in which the BP shows the continuity of biblical narratives. Just beautiful!
This is a wonderful depiction of the Water of Life, Jesus.
You guys are truly GIFTED BY GOD!! 🌸✝️
Jesus thirsted so I might drink from his living waters.
Wonderful insight
Simply amazing. Thank you for telling me what I already knew, but now I really Know Jesus.
have a small personal favor to ask to the Bible Project team;
I wanted to show to my mom a video that was published around 2 years ago called How to Read the Bible: Biblical Story , so I wanted to put subtitles in Serbian so that she can understand everything, I soon found out that someone has already translated the whole video from English to Serbian yet there still isn't this option to put up those Serbian subtitles in the video, there are 26 other subtitles but that one still isn't available.
Could someone approve those subtitles so that my mom can understand everything?
Thank you in advance and thank you for all this amazing content, God bless.
"How to read the bible"? Stop being lead around like sheeple and pray to GOD for understanding. Think that would be worth a try?
You probably need to actually email the bible project guys about this. Hope that helps.
The Tunnell Take Pray for what? To instantly learn English miraculously and understand the language of the video? Lol. You totally missed the point of his request.
I've always wondered what type of people would kill the prophets.
@The Tunnell Take Hello man learning how to read the bible is good! im new to it as well and reading the bible is literally like reading GOD. For He says in John 1: in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.... I need to work on prayer too but lets keep treating people as God would... I need to work on it too but *Ephesians **4:32** ESV* 🚒

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
God bless you BibleProject! Ive been learning so much, you have no idea how much my life has been blessed!
Here is an interesting fact: when a person's heart ruptures, the water from the sternum often breaks out, which could be a plausible explanation for why both blood and water came out of Jesus' side, and why he died early for a crucifixion, because our sins broke his physical self.
It's all a combination of various things which fit together perfectly in so many ways that cover any and all possible ground,vistas and avenues which all relate together so beautifully like myriad puzzle pieces!
And on and on...
Endless make believe.
Our sins broke Christ's heart, that's powerful.
@@JamesRichardWiley You believe in the Big Bang?
So we literally broke his heart. Good job humanity :(
Self included
Chills everywhere! Praise the Lord and Jesus Christ 💖 Thank you so much, TBP... For doing this! 😍
I'm crying.😢 Oh God, this is what You've wanted all along! Took us humans thousands of years to realize it! 😭
There's so much depth to this 😍
Amen 🙏 Hallelujah ❤🥺🙏😭 I blamely trust and believe Jesus appa only 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
If we drink from the water of life, we will never thirst again! That’s a pretty AWSOME reality💦
3:08 pretty cool image!
I'm so grateful I came up with your channels. AOC network, The Chosen, Desiring God and this one. 💓💓💓 God bless you all. Blessings upon blessings!
So powerful!
All I can say is thank you Yahweh for the love you put on our brothers and sisters at Bible Project to make possible to spread the gospel and make it fascinating to seek more your beautiful BIBLE. Lord please continue to bless them and their families keep them safe in this time and forever in Jesus Yeshua’s name Amen 🙇♀️🧎♀️
This is the most beautiful video ive every seen.
This is so amazing and more interesting then scrolling down on social media may God bless bible project team
i need to read more bible
Amazing! This is why there's NO LIFE AT ALL without the Holy Spirit living inside of us! And this is only possible through our faith in Jesus, in what He has done at the cross, by the good will of God! God bless you all from The Bible project!
