ANGLICAN DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR 17 FEBRUARY 2022
TOPIC: THE LIVING WATER
TEXT: John 4:1-26
Anglican Daily Fountain 17th February 2022 | STUDY:
The story of how the Samaritan woman met the Messiah is a reconciliatory one. The Jews despised the Samaritans because of their mixed Gentile blood and their different worship style. Jesus’ decision to pass through Samaria was unpopular to the disciples becausė of this. Jacob’s well in Sychar was a useful water source for the people. Jesus took a long journey to get to the well with so much weariness, just to reach one soul? That shows the importance of a soul. The phrase “Give Me a drink” in verse 7 speaks volumes.
It shows Jesus and his disciples were thirsty, weary, tired and famished from a very distant journey. It opened an opportunity for Jesus to interact with the woman. It enabled Jesus to introduce Himself as the living water which the woman and every thirsty soul needs. This water, when drunk, will become A fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. We should not allow any religious barrier to hinder this as in verses 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17-18.
What is your own barrier to receiving this water of life – spouse, race, culture, religious differences, family dispute, place of worship or status in society? Jesus is the bridge to cross over to salvation.
Prayer: Lord, please give me this living water to drink, that I may not thirst for evil anymore.
