English John 4:13
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 Jesus is presenting himself 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 a life. Nicodomas was highly moral, and this Samaritan was grossly immoral yet there was no difference between them. Both 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 her life. Verse, 14 says, But whatever, whoever drinks of this water that I give him give him shall never thirst. Whosoever drinks of this water will be thirsty again.
He is not only saying of Jacob's Well, but he is also saying of all the efforts to quench the spiritual thirst in the soul. This thirst can be only be satisfied by Jesus. Man attempts to quench the spiritual thirst with money, power, Prestige, education, culture, accomplishment, achievement and a host of other things. That will not satisfy. As someone said, the soul of a man is so big that only God can fill it. One person said God is like a water in the well, and religions are as bucket to take it. So, whatever side of the well, you are drawing the water, you can have the same God, but the question is, have you had that water? Have you drank that water?
Prayer
Yes, let's pray, Heavenly Father. I thank you for the spiritual things you are teaching us. Oh, God, given us the Living Water Lord help us Lord to know that you are the only God who can satisfy our thirst for Spiritual things.
I commit ourselves into your hands of God. We pray and commit this day to your hands. Bless this day in Jesus precious name.
