Symbolism of Water in John's Gospel
In John's Gospel, water symbolizes the concept of Jesus being the temple where heaven and earth meet. This symbolism is introduced when Jesus refers to his body as the temple that will be raised in three days. The motif of water is further developed through Jesus offering living water in chapter four and promising that believers will have living waters flowing from their bellies in chapter seven. The imagery of water is also connected to purity in the story of turning water into wine, symbolizing a feast of Eden. The depiction of blood and water flowing from Jesus' side emphasizes the symbolism of water as a representation of the ultimate Eden, mapping onto the narrative about Jesus as the ultimate Eden.
