“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.”
John 4:14
How refreshing is
water?
We have probably all
seen the image of a man in a desert, crawling on his hands and knees towards a
spring of water.
Regardless of how far
he crawls it seems the spring is always just beyond his grasp.
Of course, in his
dehydrated and partially delirious state, he is only seeing a mirage.
Now if that were a
true scenario and he was able to reach the spring, how refreshing do you
suppose that water would be to him?
We can only imagine!
Jesus offers us to
freely drink from the Water of Life.
Why do you suppose
many don’t drink?
They do not drink
from it because their thirst has been ‘quenched’ on temporal satisfactions.
But when you are
truly thirsty Kool-Aid just doesn’t cut it!
Likewise, nothing can
replace the water Jesus gives.
There are a lot of
products on the store shelves; some might even claim to do a better job in
refreshing you than water can.
Let’s leave them to
all of their claims.
Instead, drink water
from that Rock that is Christ Jesus.
How refreshing is the
water Jesus gives?
How thirsty are you?
