There Shall Meet You A Man Bearing A Pitcher Of Water

Mark 14:12-13

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

Every part of the Bible is for our learning, and every little story has meaning. I was reading about the last supper and I just had to look a little deeper into this part where the disciples were directed to a man bearing a pitcher. At first it did not seem that important but later on I learned that In those days men did not carry a pitcher of water so this man was doing something weird.

To other people he was insane and of course he stood out of the crowd. The pitcher had water and water is a symbol of the holy spirit. He was carrying a vessel containing the holy spirit. When we believers have the holy spirit in us he will work in us to do Gods will. We will always stand out from the rest because he will do things differently in us.

Our lives will not be led based on Tradition but rather by the word of God.The tradition was that carrying water was the work of women.I have a feeling the holy spirit has revealed to this man that carrying water can be done by anyone. Therefore as he walked in newness of life he stood out of the crowd. As you can see while walking in the spirit Jesus was able to use him.


The same applies to our lives, God will use us when we let his spirit guide us.
