Jesus meets a woman at the well in Samaria, (Jn 4:5-42). This Samaritan woman was an outcast and she approaches Jesus asking Him to quench her thirst with the Living Water.
Jesus treats the Samaritan woman with great respect and evangelises her. When her real thirst been quenched, she in turns go out to tell others of her encounter with Jesus.
Jesus wants to give her the “living water” that comes from faith in Him. Living water – water that brings life and water that brings long lasting growth in our lives.
Jesus represents as a Living Water which brings us life and He alone can transcend and heal us. He is the only way to have our thirst satisfied eternally. He offers us living water but it is not going to be satisfying to us unless we confess and repent of our sin and desire for forgiveness.
Living water can be obtained only when we recognise that we are spiritually thirsty. During this Lent, let us look at ourselves as sinners. Let Jesus Christ meet our need for forgiveness, for fulfilment, and for a fresh start in life.
“If today you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts,” (Psalm 95).
