Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
John 4:13-14 NKJV
Imagine a water producing brand that promises you will never be thirsty again after drinking their water. Or a shop that offers an unlimited supply of water just for the price of one bottle. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Well, that is what Jesus offered to the woman of Samaria as he continued to liken himself to water. This water that does not only quench a temporary thirst but provides an infinite source of supply that will spill over to other people. What a bargain!
The well of water is Jesus, a gift to mankind that springs eternal life. Life transforming encounters like this is what every believer must yearn for – to encounter Jesus!
An encounter with the well of water causes a fountain to burst out of you; a fountain of worship, witnessing and service to God. When your life encounters Jesus, it is obvious for all to see. Catch the testimony of the woman after her encounter:
“And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” John 4:39
May your encounter with Jesus spring out of you, living water that will positively affect your family and society, in the name of Jesus. Amen
