Share a Cup of that Alive Water

6/5/2024

To the Samaritan woman at the well, John 4:13-14:

“Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst again. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a river of water welling up into life that always was and always will be.’”

Doesn’t it sound easy to share with others, a.k.a. “evangelism,” that the alive water inside of you from the life of Heaven—they can have that experience of Life also!?

Good News.

The reason for the hope that is within each of us who He has CHANGED. I was one way and now I am another.

A song you might send to coworkers or neighbors that you want to whisper a word to.

Chasing Rebels (Ben Fuller)

Yes! To tell them our Story... I used to drink of that water and never be satisfied. And now I have a river of life that is truly Life. Come see the man who showed me everything I’ve ever done and is changing me! It’s easy to share a cup of that Real Life water with someone.

Obviously, our ability to share THAT water indeed requires us to TRULY find our ALL in HIS water versus the XY axis1 worldly things that cause us to be “thirsty again.” I found this encouraging song by John Newton (Amazing Grace guy).

The LORD is my portion. (Lamentations 3:24)

From pole to pole let others roam,

And search in vain for bliss;

My soul is satisfied at Home,

The Lord my portion is.

Jesus, Who on His glorious throne

Rules heav’n and earth and sea;

Is pleased to claim me for His own,

And give Himself to me.

His person fixes all my love,

His blood removes my fear;

And while He pleads for me above,

His arm preserves me here.

His word of promise is my food,

His Spirit is my guide;

Thus daily is my strength renewed

And all my wants supplied.

For Him, I count as gain each loss,

Disgrace, for Him, renown;

Well may I glory in His cross,

While He prepares my crown!

Let worldlings then indulge their boast,

How much they gain or spend!

Their joys must soon give up the ghost,

But mine shall know no end.

1In this conversation, the XY-axis versus the Z-axis is being used as an illustration of the difference between eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil vs eating of the Tree of Life. XY-axis living is a “flat” natural living of good vs evil. Z-axis is a supernatural Zoe life in Jesus. Back
