Verses from John

那妇人撇下了她的水罐,进到城里去,对众人说: “你们来,看看一个人,他把我所作的一切都说出来,难道这人就是基督吗?”(约翰福音 4:28-29)

Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” (John 4:28-29)

In John 4, a woman had come to draw water at a well. But after she encountered Jesus that day, her intent suddenly changed. Leaving her water jar behind, she hurried back to tell others what Jesus had said to her (vv.28-29). Even her physical need for water paled in comparison to telling others about the Man she had just met.

Our new life of following Jesus Christ may mean that we may have to leave things behind, including those that don’t bring lasting satisfaction such as the love for status, power, wealth. What we once craved cannot compare with the life and “living water” that Jesus offers.

Are you willing to do that? Are u able to do so?
