"Living Water..."
JOHN 4: 10
New International Version
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
God is like the sun, lighting up our lives. He's Also like a spring, able to satisfy our deepest thirst. Jesus met a woman at the well who had tried tore place God with other things. She'd had five love relationships. She was looking for love in all the wrong places. Jesus skilfully used her daily trip to draw waters a picture of her unquenchable soul-thirst, and then he pointed to himself as Living Water, able to satisfy her like nothing else ever could There's a God-shaped vacuum in our hearts that only Christ can fill. Many of us, like the woman in the story, believe things like success, thrills, money, adventure and achievement can satisfy us. Try as we may, they can only provide a quick thrill, but then they leave us empty and disappointed.
Material things can't fill a spiritual void. Until we drink from Christ, we will never find what we're looking for.
