TOPIC: The Living Water
TEXT: John 4:1-26(NKJV)
STUDY: The story of how the Samaritan woman met the Messiah is a reconciliatory one. The Jews despised the Samaritans because of their mixed Gentile blood and their different worship style. Jesus’ decision to pass through Samaria was unpopular to the disciples becausė of this. Jacob’s well in Sychar was a useful water source for the people. Jesus took a long journey to get to the well with so much weariness, just to reach one soul? That shows the importance of a soul.
The phrase “Give Me a drink” in verse 7 speaks volumes. It shows Jesus and his disciples were thirsty, weary, tired and famished from a very distant journey. It opened an opportunity for Jesus to interact with the woman. It enabled Jesus to introduce Himself as the living water which the woman and every thirsty soul needs. This water, when drunk, will become A fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.
We should not allow any religious barrier to hinder this as in verses 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17-18. What is your own barrier to receiving this water of life – spouse, race, culture, religious differences, family dispute, place of worship or status in society? Jesus is the bridge to cross over to salvation.
PRAYER: Prayer: Lord, please give me this living water to drink, that I may not thirst for evil anymore.
Daily Fountain Quote of the Day
1 John 3:1-3: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.”
