Title: Life Without Thirst
Contents
Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never thirst. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water springing up to everlasting life (John 4:14).
eternal life
God loves me. So he gave his only begotten son. When we believe in the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, we will not perish but have eternal life. I bless you to enjoy this grace of eternal life. This eternal life comes through Jesus Christ. Jesus gives us a spring of water springing up to eternal life.
water
For humans, water is as important as life, directly related to maintaining life. This is because more than 70% of the human body, 83% of blood, and more than 90% of cells are water. Without this water, we cannot survive. People need to get this water.
ratio
However, the Greek word for water is widol, which is derived from the words phyetos and bioda. In other words, it can be seen that water is given to people through rain. The rain will fall on the ground and you will have water to drink. If it doesn't rain, there is no water available. It is completely dependent on the natural environment to obtain water. Today, many countries, including Korea, are classified as water-scarce countries and must practice water conservation. However, with the development of scientific civilization, water is easily available through the tap, unless you are a savage country.
thirst
But the problem is that the water in this world becomes thirsty. You can drink water, but people have more thirst than water. What am I thirsting for? Thirst and craving make a person struggle to satisfy them. What I am struggling with is my thirst.
stale poison
The thirst of this world is the thirst of the world's wealth and glory, and it is impossible to express in words how much people work hard to get satisfaction. However, the problem is that even if filled or filled, there is no satisfaction. It's like pouring water into a drained poison.
So the prophet Jeremiah says: (Jeremiah 2:13) “My people have done two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have dug themselves a cistern, a broken cistern that cannot hold water.” That's right. People are living digging puddles that can't hold water. The puddle is a puddle that has never been filled because it is a broken puddle, which is why we always toil and toil, but in vain.
the secret to satisfaction
Therefore, we must realize that He is the source of living water, and go to Him beyond the pursuit of wealth and glory. This is the wise life.
Just as Jesus came to the woman of Suga, Samaria, Jesus also comes to us at this time to remind us of the secret of not being thirsty. You drink the water Jesus gives you. That water becomes a spring of water springing up to eternal life, giving me complete satisfaction. In other words, if you always go to the Lord without worrying about where in the world to find satisfaction, the Lord will give you true satisfaction. Jesus, who became Alpha and Omega, is the solution and salvation of all problems, giving us true satisfaction.
meet the Lord
That's right. The Lord gives us the spring water that springs up to eternal life without thirst. We must go to the Lord. You must meet the Lord who gives you true satisfaction. So we must thirst and long for the Lord. Let's go to the Lord with our homes, our jobs, our businesses, and all our problems. The Lord solves all my problems perfectly and gives me true satisfaction. For this, I bless you to read the Word every day and live a life of prayer. So, I bless you all to be the happiest of us living with the satisfaction that the Lord gives us every day.
In the autumn, the season of fruit, we bless everyone who gets true satisfaction through fellowship with the Lord and enjoys the great joy of soul salvation while sharing that satisfaction with our neighbors.
