Water

Feb 2, 2025    Rev. Baly Botten

In this powerful exploration of John 4, we encounter the transformative nature of Jesus' 'living water.' The story of the Samaritan woman at the well reveals how Christ breaks through cultural, social, and moral barriers to offer ultimate satisfaction for our deepest spiritual thirsts. We're reminded that grace is always a surprise, extending to those society deems unworthy. As we journey with the woman from skepticism to faith, we see how Jesus engages our intellect, makes faith personal, and reveals our true spiritual needs. The living water He offers is not just salvation, but a wellspring of purpose, love, and unshakeable peace. We're challenged to examine our own 'broken cisterns' - the worldly sources we turn to for fulfillment - and instead drink deeply from Christ's endless supply of grace and truth.
