Looking For Water
November 3, 2011
The United States has spent millions of dollars looking for water on Mars. A few years ago, NASA sent twin robots, Opportunity and Spirit, to the red planet to see if water was present or had been present at one time. Why did the US do this? The scientists who are poring over data sent back from those two little Martian rovers are trying to figure out if life ever existed on Mars. And for that to have happened, there had to be water. No water, no life.
Two thousand years ago, a couple of “rovers” set out across the countryside of an Earth-outpost called Samaria looking for water. One was a woman who lived nearby. The other was a man from Galilee. They ended up meeting at a well near the village of Sychar. When they did, Jesus found the water He was looking for, and the woman found the water she didn’t know she needed (John 4:5-15).
Water is essential for both physical and spiritual life. Jesus had a surprise for the woman at the well. He offered her the Water of Life—Himself. He is the refreshing, renewing “fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14).
Do you know anyone looking for water? Someone who is spiritually thirsty? Introduce that person to Jesus, the Living Water. It’s the greatest discovery of all time.
Gracious and Almighty Savior,
Source of all that shall endure,
Quench my thirst with living water,
Living water, clear and pure. —Vinal
Only Jesus, the Living Water, can satisfy the thirsty soul.
Read: John 4:1-15
Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. —
John 4:14Three quarters of the earth surface is made up of water. The reason we are called the blue planet. Water cleans, refreshes, sustains, recycles, makes up 75% of our bodies, water is a part of all live food, vegetables, fruit, and all living creatures. Rivers, ice bergs, lakes, oceans, it is a wonder we are not all amphibians.
It used for sacred, ceremonies, and for washing dirty laundry. It is the morning dew, humidity in the air, and like 'Dennis the Menace' said, "the water we drink is the water that was here during the dinosaur time? bletch!!"
Water wars were part of the early cattlemen days. Water is predicted to become the most wanted, necessary, and in shortage in the near future.!!! Amazing when we consider it.
Christ offers us living water, with which we will never thrist again.
Our God is an amazing God. He maintains, sustains, and remains the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
NOTHING is too hard for HIM;
In Revelations 22:1-7, the Holy City of God the New Jerusalem
King James Version (KJV)
"1.And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2.In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3.And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4.And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
5.And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6.And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7.Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. ..."
