Agua se menciona en cada uno de los siguientes versículos. Describir lo que está pasando en cada versículo y decir qué simboliza el agua.

4a

Juan 9:11

He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”
-- John 9:11 (NKJV)

In this verse, a man who was born blind was explaining to the Pharisees how he had been healed of his blindness by Jesus. Rather than recognizing the divinity of Jesus, the Pharisees ignore the fact that Jesus had healed the man's blindness, but rather seized on the detail that Jesus had "made clay" which was "in violation of the Sabbath." They were indeed "straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel." (Matt 23:24).

The water in this verse represents faith, because the blind man was not healed until he acted on faith and washed as instructed. An immediate parallel is the story of Naaman (2 Kings 5) in which Naaman was not healed of his leperosy until he acted on faith as instructed, and washed in the River Jordan.

4b

Juan 13:5

After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
-- John 13:5 (NKJV)

This verse takes place during the Last Supper. The disciples had been arguing among themselves about who of them was the greatest, so none of them wanted to stoop down to serve the others by washing their feet. That was a job for the lowliest servant in a household, not for someone who aspired to the Secretary of the State in the New Kingdom. All of them knew that someone needed to perform this task, but none would. The disciples were greatly embarrassed when they realized that Jesus himself was doing this.

The water here represents cleansing from sin. Just as He was the only one willing to take the role of a servant, Jesus Jesus was also the only One able to rid them of their sin.

4c

Mateo 3:16

When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
-- Matthew 3:16 (NKJV)

This verse describes the baptism of Jesus. Baptism represents our own death, burial, and resurrection. We die to ourselves, are "buried" in the water (representing the grave), and then resurrected as new, born again Christians. The water is also cleansing us of our old life of sin.
