The Revelation of Jesus Christ IV - He Takes Away, He Establishes

Christ was revealed to all Israel at John's Baptism.  The Jews were gathered to John at His Baptism.  Here is where Christ was first revealed to them at the water, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." Also, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." 

If we can here it, John said he must decrease and Christ must increase.  Here in this statement is taking away and establishing. No longer was there a prophet coming declaring the Christ.  Jesus was now the fulfillment of what the prophets declared.

At the encounter of the woman of Samaria, Jesus sat on Jacob's well.  The woman asked if He was greater than her father Jacob.  No longer would they be able to drink from Jacob to be the family of God.  They now had to drink from the fountain Himself, who is Christ.  Jesus fulfilled what the wells of Jacob, Abraham or any other prophet spoke of.  The well of living water is now in Christ.  Glory to God!
