August 4, 2016: SOAP #2436: 2Kings 22; 2Chronicles 34; John 6

Scripture: John (NIV) 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” John (NIV) 6:32 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 “Sir,” they said, “from now on give us this bread.”

Observation: To the woman at the well (John 4) Jesus offered Himself as water. To the people gathered in Joy 6, Jesus offered Himself as bread. Jesus meets the basic essentials of our life. How logical their response. “Give me this water.” “Give us this bread.”

Application: I need to present Jesus to those around me as the one who meets the basic needs of life. I pray the Lord will help me to awaken their thirst and hunger. I pray that they will say, “Give me this water; Give us this bread.”

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, May your living water flow from my life and may my words be your bread that satisfies. Amen
