"He who thirsts, let him come to me and drink..."

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
Christ preaching in the Temple (source)
  
When the middle of the feast arrived, Christ ascended to the Temple, and preached, saying to those Jews who had come to Him: He who thirsts, let him come to me and drink of the water of eternal life, that he might never thirst unto the ages, for he who believes in me, from his belly will flow rivers [of living water], and will have the light of life.

Christ has risen from the dead, by death trampling down upon death, and to those in the tombs He has granted life!
Truly the Lord is risen!
