“Wells of Salvation” Isa. 12: 3

By Adolphus Smith

ADOLPHUS SMITH
THE wells of salvation may be thought of as the many different books in the Holy Scriptures. See Luke 24:25-27; John 4:14; 5:39; Acts 4:8-12.
We naturally associate the thought of drawing water from a well with the “old oaken bucket” of our childhood days. The water of life, however, which we may obtain by searching the Scriptures, need not be drawn to the surface by a silver bucket, moss covered from very age, iron bound by creeds and traditions; but, responsive to the touch of faith, the water of life springs forth in copious streams, like the waters of Meribah, to quench the thirst of perishing souls.
When the Scriptures are committed to memory, the well is transferred from the printed page to the memory and heart of the individual, and becomes the source of ever-flowing streams of salvation.
