There is also a scientific explanation when the body goes through intense pain and trauma organs shut down to preserve more important organs and what not. When this happens water fills up in the lungs so when Jesus was speared on the side that is what poured out along with his blood. This is incredible of John to note because it wasn’t until hundreds of years later that scientists understood this.
I've heard it taught since Jesus is the bodily fulfillment of the ceremonial law, everything in the tabernacle represented him. It's clear the blood and water represents he is the sacrifice on the alter, the blood that cleanses, and he is the laver(which contained water) the word that washes us, Jesus is refereed to as the living water. God designed the tabernacle to show us the process to enter into his presence through Jesus. The outercourt is where we first are cleansed by the blood and we read the word that washes us. And for example the gate of the tabernacle is before the outercourt and Jesus of course is the gate we first enter in with thanksgiving and praise.
I thought it had to do with when Jesus died, the people who believe in him were born. Because when a baby is born, the one through whom they are born breakes their water and there’s also blood shedd. Also if there’s blood it means Jesus has a fractured heart inside his pericardium. Which is why he died faster than the other people. Jesus died of a broken heart.
