Grace for your spirit February 8, 2010

Grace for your spirit
Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again;
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." John 4:13-14
When Jesus met the woman of Samaria at the well, she had the way to get the water for Him to quench His thirst, and wanted to help. Jesus had the way to give her the living water of eternal life and wanted to help her. Jesus explained that His living water would cause her never to be thirsty again, and she was excited about getting some of that water. God has given us access to that living water in His Son Christ Jesus. We not only have the water, but know the way to get that water to others if we are willing to help. When I was a kid, my great grandmother had a pump in her back yard. The water was good and cold, but you needed to prime that pump every time. After you drank your fill, we would leave a little water in the bucket for the next guy. With that water, the pump would yield water quickly. In our Christian journey, are we thinking about living water for the next guy? May our life yield His water to prime the pump for another.


The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
