John 4:13 (NKJV) 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again…”
As with most anything that Jesus said, there was always more than meets the eye if we study His words.
The same is true with his statement above; Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again.
Jesus was referring to water coming from a specific well. Or, in a more general sense, water from any well. That water will quench our natural thirst, for a little while. But we will become thirsty again soon.
We can also draw a parallel when it comes to material things. There are many, many things we reach for and grab hold of, hoping they will satisfy us. But in the end, they leave us feeling empty, and still longing for fulfillment.
It’s time that we take the words of Jesus seriously and long for the water that only He can give. He wants us to be fulfilled and satisfied. In fact, He longs for it more badly than we long for it.
And He is always reaching out to us, hoping we will grab hold of His hand and never let go. Because in the end, when everything is said and done, only He can truly satisfy us and remove those longings that we so desperately try to fill with stuff.
Revelation 3:20 (NKJV) 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
