What is the significance of the separation of blood and water when Jesus was pierced in the side?

John 19:34 - But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
When someone is stabbed, blood is expected. Water is not. Since John specifies that there was blood AND water, it's the flow of water that was important enough to point out - and not just because it was "odd."
Please note that Scripture doesn't mention a "separation" of blood and water; indeed, the significance is in the fact that they flowed out of His body together. This prompts another question: "What is the Scriptural connection between the blood of Jesus and water? What do they have in common?"
The answer is really quite straightforward: the New Testament reveals that both water and the blood of Christ are essential to the forgiveness of sins.
Acts 22:16 - 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'
1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Despite all doctrines to the contrary, the New Testament teaching is that one is not saved unless one is baptized.
Mark 16:16 - He who believes and is baptizedwill be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
The flow of blood and water from the body of Jesus serves as further testimony to this truth.

Where is the spear used on Christ?
If by spear you mean the spear that was used when He was on the cross, then it was pierced through His side to see if He was dead. When someone dies, the blood and water inside their bodies separate, and that is what happened with jesus. The soldiers pierced His side and blood and water flowed out, proving He was dead. But praise God He rose again! :)

Why is water added to the wine for Anglican Eucharist?
When Jesus was pierced by the Roman soldier, water and blood came from the wound, signifying that He was already dead. However, since the Last Supper says, "This is my blood..." and the body had both water AND blood in it, the Anglicans add water to the wine on the theory of transubstantiation. Water was added to wine in the time of Jesus to thin it out. That tradition continued. The church added theological significance to an every day occurrence. So, we read back into the practice and continue to add wine because the blood and water flowed out of Jesus' side. While the Roman Catholic Church believes in transubstantiation, the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion do not hold this as official theology. You will find some Anglicans who believe in transubstantiation, but many do not.
