December 18, 2016: SOAP #2572: John 2-4
Scripture: John (NIV) 4:25 [Jesus speaking with the Samaritan woman at the well.] The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am he.”
Observation: As I was reading this, I thought it must have been a special joy for Jesus to reveal Himself to this thirsty woman, “I who speak to you am he.” Then I sensed the Lord saying to me, “I still like to reveal myself to people.” Across my mind came memories of recent testimonies I have read of people in Muslim countries turning to Jesus because of dreams and visions. Jesus is still revealing Himself to people looking for something to satisfy their thirsty souls.
Application: Yes, He is the one! I have tasted and received the life-giving water Jesus offers. It is for me to share with a thirsty person today.
Prayer: Jesus, to the thirsty people around me, may I be faithful to tell them that you are the answer to the longings in their thirsty soul. Amen
