Lent 2014 day 17 by ric gustafson
John 4:14- ' The water that I give will become in those who drink it a spring of water that bubbles up into eternal life'.
In the time of Jesus, moving water was known as ' living water'. When Jesus offered living water to a Samaritan woman, she was very puzzled. How could flowing water come from a still well and without a bucket.
Jesus meant more than just ordinary water. He told this woman that anyone who drinks this water will never thirst again. Instead of physical thirst, he was talking about spiritual thirst. He knew that she had a thirsty soul.
We need living water to wash us clean so we can see our true purpose and worth as a believer of God. We need living water to free us from sin and shame.
Lord Jesus, please quench my thirsty soul with your living water.
