Today’s Devotional
In this verse, Jesus is speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well. He tells her that the water He provides is not just physical water but a source of eternal life. This living water that Jesus offers is a metaphor for the salvation and the gift of the Holy Spirit, which quenches our spiritual thirst and leads to eternal life.
Time to reflect
As we reflect on John 4:14, let’s consider the following points on how to apply the teachings of this verse in our personal lives:
- Recognize our spiritual thirst. Just as our physical bodies need water to survive, our souls need the living water that only Jesus can provide. We can acknowledge our need for Jesus and the salvation He offers by admitting our sins, repenting, and trusting in Him as our Lord and Savior.
- Seek the living water that Jesus offers. We can come to Jesus in prayer and ask Him to fill us with His living water, the Holy Spirit. This will bring spiritual refreshment and growth in our relationship with God.
- Share the living water with others. As we experience the life-giving power of the living water in our own lives, we can share the good news of Jesus with others, inviting them to drink from the same source of eternal life.
- Be grateful for the eternal life that Jesus offers. As recipients of this living water, we should express our gratitude to God for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
