Today’s Reading - John 4:13-26

Thought:

“Give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty…” Oh the thought of never being thirsty again; never having to come to the well to do the difficult work of drawing water again! She wanted the living water that Jesus offered, but she misunderstood. She was thinking physically and missed the spiritual point. The water that Jesus offered (and still offers) had nothing to do with physical things but was the gift of spiritual life. Those who drink from that spiritual fountain that flows from Christ will never want for any spiritual thing again. Forgiveness, redemption, relationship, joy, peace, hope, salvation, eternal life — it is all available to the person that accepts the living water that Jesus offers. What a gift and blessing that water is! “Give me this water…”

What makes the living water that Jesus offers such a special thing?
