Remember this song? "I will make you fishers of men, fishers of men, fishers of men. I will make you fishers of men if you follow me."
In the beginning, Boston wasn't called Boston. Native Americans called it Shawmut because it had springs and waters full of fish. In the Indians' language, Shawmut meant "living waters" or "living fountains".
We find this to be very curious. And we find Boston full of opportunities to fish for men: to tell them of the TRUE living water found only in Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 49
"8 This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you: I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
9 to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!' "They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill.
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up.
John 4:10
"Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.'"
