John 4:14b

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4, 14, the second part. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water. Welling up to eternal life.  Jesus not only gives us salvation, but he forgives our sins, and he also gives us power to not to sin again. The water of Salvation becomes in us a spring of water. When a woman was caught in adultery, the Pharisees and others wanted to Stone her. When Jesus said, let the one who have not sinned throw the first stone, everyone left, and Jesus asked, have no one condemned you. She said, no one Lord. Jesus said, neither do I condemn you. And from now on, sin no more. The woman might have looked at him with the question, how will that be possible to live without sin? Jesus said to her, and to them, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life here. Jesus is saying when we follow him. We will not walk in darkness that is sin. This, we read in. John 8th ch...

John 4:14a

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse, we will meditate on John 4:14, the first part of it. But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.  Hallelujah! We will see some of the great truths of these words. So, we will meditate on each word of this verse. The first word, it says "but" this links the hope of this promise to the hopelessness of the previous statement. The previous statement says everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. It Compares with this physical water to the spiritual water. Why then, all the world did not receive the spiritual drink. The answer is simple man do not want to give up their sin, and they are deceived into believing that by coming to Christ, they will lose their pleasure and gain nothing. They do not realize that they will lose nothing and gain everything. Hallelujah!  The next word, whosoever says, all are lost. Therefore, all can be saved. None are excluded. When Jesus died on Calvar...

John 4:13

Image
Today's verse is from John 4, 13. Jesus said to her, everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.  Jesus answered and said to her presents him slowly, leading her to the meaning of this great spiritual truth. As Nicodomas in the previous chapter was led to the spiritual truth of being born again. Jesus is leading this Samaritan woman to the spiritual truth of Living Water or the need of Salvation in her life. Nicodomas was highly moral, and this Samaritan was grossly immoral. Yet there was no difference between them. Both were sinners needing the cleansing and salvation of Jesus. You may be very religious, but you need Jesus in your life for your salvation. To Nicodemus, the religious leader Jesus says. You must be born again, but to the Sinner, he slowly leads her to the need of Salvation or the Living Water in a life. Verse 14 says But whoever drinks of this water that I give him shall never thirst. Whosoever drinks of this water will be thirsty again Je...

John 4:12

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 12.  Are you greater than our Father Jacob? He gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and did his sons and his livestock,  In this question concerning Jacob we observe the claims of the Samaritans, to be the descendant of Abraham, the son of Isaac and actually of Jacob himself who have dug the well. Jacob always seems to be running from someone or something, from Euso his brother, who wanted to kill him, then from Labon his father-in-law. And from the famine in Canaan, he flew to Egypt with his family. When he was fleeing from Esuo, he saw in a vision a ladder and in a vision the Majesty and the glory of God. At Bethel, when he saw God, he worshiped God and woke to take Yahweh as his God at panel, while he was returning back from the his father-in-law Leban Jacob Resseled face to face with God, he taught him the value of continued prayer from one who is helpless Jacob emerged from paniel willing to let his life fa...

John 4:11

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4:11  The woman said to him sir you have nothing to draw water with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water? Jesus was speaking of spiritual things, but the woman was thinking in material terms. In chapter 3 of John, We saw Jesus speaking to Nicodemus of born again, experience and he took it in the material sense. How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?  Usually The Travelers carry a bucket and a rope to draw water, but the woman says, you don't have anything to draw water. Then she asks, Jesus, this questions, where do you get the living water. Today also, millions are asking where do you get the living water? They might not ask the same question. They might be asking, where do I get mukti? Where did I get Shanti? In fact, thay are asking where do I get salvation? Or they are saying, what shall I do to be saved? Many are doing many things to...

John 4:10

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4, 10, Jesus answered her. If you knew the gift of God, And who it is that is saying to you give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living Waters.  Hallelujah. What is the gift of God to men? It is the salvation of our soul by which we have the eternal life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  This gift is a free gift to us, but for Jesus, he had to pay a costly prize. First Peter, 1 18, and 19 says, knowing that you were ramsomed from the futile way inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things, such as silver or gold. But with the precious Blood of Christ like that of a lamb without blemish.  Jesus is saying to the woman if you knew who it is, that is saying to you to give me a drink. At that time, she did not know who Jesus was though, later she knew. In John 1 1, it says, in the beginning of the word and ...

John 4:9

Image
Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4 9. The Samaritan woman said to him. How is it that you a Jew, Ask for a drink from me a woman of Samaria. For the Jews had no dealings with Samaritans.  This Samaritan woman was astonished to have a Jew asking for water from her because she was a woman and also, she is a Samaritan. The Jews have no dealings with Samaritans, this we have already discussed about it. At first, to this woman, Jesus was simply a thirsty, Jew, asking her for water, but as the story unfolds, we see her understanding of who he is, is developing First, as the one who makes great promises Jesus promised her the Living Water. Then acknowledges him as a prophet in verse 19. It says I perceive that you are a prophet. And finally, she knew him as the Messiah, the savior, the savior of this world, the Redeemer of this world and that is in verse 25, 26 and 29. Increasing understanding of who Christ is, this is a common experience for all believers because it...
