The Gospel of John 4:13-14 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 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.” (John 4:13-14 KJV)

In these passages the Lord Jesus presented to the woman, and to us, two choices of water she and us can choose to drink, a natural cistern water or a spiritual spring water. Firstly, He said to her that one who drinks of the water from a natural cistern will temporarily quench the thirst, but it will not eliminate the thirst totally. It only gives a temporary relief. But, secondly, He said that the spiritual spring water that He gives, by a single drink it becomes a spring of living water welling and springing from within her, and us too, to life eternal.

The Lord Jesus Christ is figuratively talking of the kind of water not locally sourced. It is one that is not from the natural realm but imported from the supernatural dimension of heaven. He is of course talking about the Holy Spirit, whom He promised that the Father in heaven will send to them who ask (Luke 9:11-13). We are given this assurance when, like the Samaritan woman, we ask, too. The Lord Jesus said in one of His teachings: “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”” (Luke 11:13 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
