Drink of the living water! John 4:10-15
Good morning dear friends! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
Well, is your pride in check? Did you think about how you operate? On pride or on Christ? Hmmm
Okay, so, Jesus is walking with his disciples and they come to a well. Jesus sends his disciples on ahead to the town to gather food and he sits at the well. And who do you guess showed up? Yep, the woman at the well; not just any woman, but a Samaritan woman. Now, let us talk about Samaritans and women for a moment. Click here to read the scripture.
First, the Jews did not associate with "these people" because they were not pure. They were despised by the Jews, specially the Pharisees. Why? Because they had interracial marriages, immoral behavior, and their theology was wrong. The Pharisees would not visit with "these people" because they were so impure, lowly, scum. The women were thought of even lower than the men, the women were lower than the scum of the earth (Samaritans).
This woman came to the well and Jesus spoke to her, asking for a drink of water. Huh?!? What?!? She was shocked, a Jew asking her for a drink. First, she was thought of so lowly, and she knew this, why was this Jew speaking to her. They did engage in dialogue and "13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 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.”
This was after a dialogue where Jesus knew everything about this woman, which shocked and surprised her. When Jesus told her about His living water, 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
Do you thirst for the living water? Have you partaken of the living water? Do you see yourself as a valuable asset for GOD?
Do you see others from your eyes; or from the eyes of Jesus? Do you see yourself from your eyes; or from the eyes of Jesus? You are valuable! You are an asset! You are important to the kingdom of God!
Now, go, touch others, act in the way God intended for you to act! Be who God intended you to be! YOU ARE IMPORTANT! Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
