SCRIPTURE
John 4: 4-26 New Testament
The people of Samaria didn't like the Jews and vice versa. When traveling near the region, the Jews would avoid through there at all cost!
One day however, Jesus purposely decided to travel through with his disciples. While the disciples went ahead into town to get food, Jesus stopped at Jacob's well for a drink of water. Actually he wanted to meet a certain Samarian woman who he knew was going to the well in a few minutes. Soon she came up the hill carrying empty jugs to fill. Jesus asked her for a drink. She replied, "Why are you a Jew asking me a Samarian for a drink?" Jesus answered, "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 give you living water." "Where can I get this living water? Are you greater that our father Jacob who gave us this well and drank from it?" she replied. Jesus answered that anyone who drinks this water, will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water he gave them will never thirst. Indeed the water he gives them will become like a spring of water welling up to eternal life. The woman said back, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't have to keep coming back here to draw water." Jesus then proceeded to tell her all about herself even though He had never met before. She was convinced that this man was the long awaited Messiah.
LESSON about living water
Water is life-giving, you'll die without it. If you have faith, love, and acceptance for Jesus as your savior, that's all you need for eternal life. 💕
