Text: John 4:5-30
Exhortation:
All living things on Earth need water. It’s so important that when planet scientists search for life on other planets, the first thing they look for is liquid water.
About 60% of the adult human body is made up of water. Leviticus 17:11 says the life of the flesh is in the blood. Scientists say that, on the average, about 51% of the human blood is made up of water. The basic unit of life, which is the cell is made up of 70% water. Medical professionals confirm that water is vital for the body to function properly. Thus, we can safely conclude that water is essential to life.
In today’s text Jesus Christ met a Samaritan woman who came to the well to draw some water. But the Lord saw that what she needed was far more that physical water and He promised to give her the Water of Life. Her marital life was not settled as she had been married and divorced 5 times and was with a sixth man to whom she was not married.
The 7th chapter of the Book of John, gave us more insight about the water of life. “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39
The Holy Spirit is the living water needed by the whole world for spiritual survival. Ask the Lord to satisfy your spiritual thirst with the water of life.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, quench my thirst with the Water of Life in Jesus name.
