Satisfied!

"Jesus said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'"  - John 4:13-14

When my boys were younger we would spend many summer days at the beach. Those were the early days of the 7-11 "Big Gulp"... 52 ounces of cold, tantalizing, thirst-quenching liquid. One would think such a huge drink would last for days, but not true. My guys would pass through these barrels of beverage in record time and be thirsty again. There never was enough to satisfy.

When our Lord interacted with the woman at the well, He spoke of spiritual thirst rather than physical thirst. While there were many spiritual "Big Gulps" around, they were always running dry and leaving one thirsty. Jesus offered a drink that would never run out and always satisfy.

Things have never really changed my friend. People are still looking for the ultimate "Big Gulp" that will totally quench the greatest thirst. But, no matter where we turn there is no thirst quencher that will meet our need like the Lord's spring of living water. Remember, only Jesus can satisfy your soul!
