Free Bible Study; The Living Water

What do you think of when I say the word satisfaction, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Fulfillment, being content...etc?

What satisfies you? A big meal, a cool drink....etc?

In John 4 we read about Jesus encounter with a Samaritan women at a well and the way it changed her life for ever!



John 4:11

7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

 9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

 10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

 11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"

 13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."



Thirst is a compelling need that when quenched can provide momentary relief and satisfaction. But at some point we all become thirsty again! Just like with our earthly bodies that thirst for water, our spiritual beings thirst as well and that thirst can only be satisfied with a relationship with Jesus Christ.



Each of us has a void in our souls that can only be filled with Gods spirit and when we don't have that void filled we feel empty in side. Some times we try to fill that void with many things. Our careers, spouses, kids...you name it! In the case of the Samaritan women, she filled her life with men and sexual immorality.



Jesus said in vs 13 that everyone who drinks of him will never go thirsty again. That you will create a living well that will never go dry! Do you want to quench the void in your heart? Jesus is the only way to never go thirsty again!
