II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:27-29
We could take a second look at that "water of Life" – to appropriate more of its refreshing.
As you have seen, it is the parent who "gives" this to the little child.
So that we should not fail to understand, He worded it identically:
"I will GIVE unto him that is athirst...." Revelation 21:6
Centuries beforehand, the same Truth (Matt. 18:4) He forecast through His Prophet Isaiah:
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM." Isaiah 11:6
It is the selfsame "child" God is speaking to us about: the person ambitious to become a full fledged "citizen" of God's Kingdom here, even NOW: "a little child" he must become!
