Water of Life
SCRIPTURE
John 4:13-14
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
OBSERVATION
The scene of where Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well on his way to Galilee was not conducive for making the point he was making since Jesus was the one who needed help in getting a sip of water from the woman, physically tired from a long trek. He had no implement to draw the water from the well and she has been drawing water for all her life.
Yet Jesus makes the pronouncement that is very true – it’s not what is right in front of you that is real but to whom do I look to is the real important point – Jesus had provided the water that he offers to all who would drink it and will never thirst again. It is truly the limitless well of life.
Even more, Jesus promises that once I draw from his well, I will become an eternal spring well where the source of water will be within me because I am connected to my Savior, Jesus Christ. How awesome is that!
APPLICATION
Look to Jesus for the water of life that will refresh and sustain me, through hard and difficult part of my life as well as joyous days. Be in the word daily to draw upon Jesus.
PRAYER
Father God, thank you for Jesus who provides eternal wellspring for my life. May I always look to Jesus for that water and reject all other sources in order that I can be of comfort to others. I love you, LORD. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
