John
4:14 NIV
“But
whoever drinks the water I give him
will never thirst. Indeed, the water I givehim will become in him a spring of water
welling up to eternal life.”
My mind rushed to John chapter four
and the encounter at the city well between the Samaritan woman and Jesus. She
came to draw water in the middle of the day, in shame and possibly in
depression. She probably did not want to see the glaring eyes and hear the
whispers of those who knew her story. Undoubtedly surprised, she heard Jesus
recount her history with these words, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your
husband.”
Excitement overtook any shame or
depression she may have been feeling. She left her water jar and rushed into
town to tell her story to all who would listen. “Come see a man,” she said.
John 4:39 tells us that many believed because of her testimony. She came to
fill her water jar hoping for a cooling drink of water. Instead she found the
promise of an eternal spring of living water as she met the Master.
Have you met this man named Jesus?
Have you taken a drink from the River of Life? Is the eternal spring of living
water overflowing in you? If so, have you rushed to tell others who may believe
because of your testimony? If not, I invite you to “come see a man”. Perhaps it
is time to spread the Word of John chapter four. Cure Depression – Drink Here!
