Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." — John 7:37 (ASV)

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried:

He shouted and spoke with all his might; and he stood, although he usually sat to deliver his message. But now, as if his whole being was roused to its utmost energy, because the last day of the gathering had come, when perhaps the people would go home, and he would be unable to speak with them in this way again, Jesus stood and cried.

Saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."

O blessed invitation, how sweet it should be to every thirsty soul! If any man – prince or pauper, any man – moral or utterly debauched, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, – not to ordinances, nor to human priests, let him come unto me, and drink, as much as he will without money, and without price.
