Spiritual weariness and spiritual thirstiness are two metaphors for the same needs in the human soul. Only in Jesus will the weary and thirsty sinner find rest (Matt. 11:28) and slaked thirst (John 7:37). Jesus puts no qualification or limitation or price on the offer; the only condition is a felt weariness and a felt dehydration: “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Rev. 22:17).
