John 4:14 – But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
When Jesus encountered the woman at the well in Samaria, he knew right away that she was in need of much more than just a pail of water. She had lived a life of grievous sin, and Jesus could tell that she was searching for a way out of what had become a miserable life.
As Jesus conversed with the woman, she came to the realization that this was no ordinary man. After all, Jews of the day simply didn’t associate with Samaritans, and when Jesus began talking to her she was quite taken aback. But what she didn’t realize was that Jesus wasn’t just any Jew, He was the very Son of God who would soon be willingly laying down His life so that all who believed in Him could be saved.
And His grace was certainly sufficient to save Samaritans as well as everyone else. This special man – God in the flesh – would soon be shedding His precious blood on the cross at Calvary for the remission of the sins of the entire world, not just the Jews.
When Jesus began telling her things about her personal life that he never should have been able to know, she had a true epiphany concerning His holy status. She quickly became convinced that this amazing man who offered her a drink from a very special well was indeed the Messiah, the Son of the Living God – the Saviour of the world.
Still today Jesus is offering everyone who will accept it a drink from the well of “Living Water”, a drink that will quench the most desperate thirst for forgiveness and redemption. Have you accepted a drink from that special well? Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour? If not, I urge you to click here to find out how you too can be saved and spend eternity in the glorious presence of our magnificent Lord!
Amen!
