Scripture references: John 7:38 (ESV)
Today is Easter Sunday, and I am rejoicing over God’s living water, that water we can drink from and never thirst again.
We know from the Scriptures that at the time of Jesus’ death, the veil in the temple was ripped from top to bottom. This ripping represented the free, unlimited access people would now have to God through Christ’s sacrifice. Those people included the Samaritan woman who talked with Jesus at the well.
As the story goes, the Samaritan woman came down to the well with her bucket to fetch water, and Jesus told her that if she turned to Him, there was a water that he had, called living water, which would allow her to never thirst again.
Here’s one of the most poignant points in the passage for me. This woman had been married five times and was currently living with a man who was not her husband, yet nothing she had done placed her outside the reach of God’s grace and partaking in His living water.
When she learned that Christ was the Messiah, she forgot all about the water that she had fetched from the well because all she could focus on was this new living water. Once she learned of her free, unlimited access to the living water, she converted an entire town.
Who do you know who needs to hear that by turning to Christ, they too will have free and unlimited access to this living water?
Let us spend the day rejoicing as we remember these words — “Whoever believes in me… ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” John 7:38 (ESV)
This has been your B Moment. Your moment to be still…to be fed by the Word of God…to be grateful.
