H.J. Vine preaches on the profound impact of Jesus' words as spirit and life, emphasizing the necessity of His death for eternal life. Despite the miracles, many sought Jesus for physical sustenance, not realizing the spiritual depth of His teachings. Those who truly believe in Christ recognize the need for His sacrifice to receive eternal life, contrasting it with the perishable food of the world. Through Christ's death, believers find righteousness, life, and the promise of reigning in eternal life.

The preacher delves into the significance of 'springs' (pege) in the Bible, highlighting how it symbolizes a source of living water, both physically and spiritually. Jesus used 'pege' to represent a spiritual well of inner nourishment associated with eternal life. However, false teachers are likened to 'springs without water,' promising refreshment but failing to deliver, much like mists driven by a storm that offer no real substance. The contrast is drawn between the true satisfaction found in the 'springs of the water of life' promised by God and the empty promises of those who lack spiritual depth.
