In Sunday’s lesson, Jay Mijares shared a message titled “Are You Thirsty?” from John 4:7–14, reflecting on Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. Jay reminded us that this familiar story reveals both the heart of Christ and the deepest needs of our own souls. Jesus broke through cultural, social, and religious barriers to speak with a woman who expected rejection, not grace. He offered her “living water,” a gift of eternal life that could satisfy her inner thirst—a thirst she had long tried to fill in other ways. Just as physical water is necessary for life, God alone can quench the spiritual thirst within us. This passage reminds us that people often search for meaning and fulfillment in shallow wells—possessions, relationships, success, or fleeting pleasures—yet remain unsatisfied. The living water that Jesus offers is a gift freely given, flowing from the Father through the Son and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It brings lasting peace, renewal, and purpose, turning our dry and weary souls into bubbling springs of life. Life with Christ is not stagnant or still like a manmade well—it is ever-flowing, life-giving, and impossible to contain. The more we drink from Him, the more our inner thirst is completely and permanently satisfied. This message also challenges us to reflect: Are we drinking from the true living water, or from the wells we’ve dug ourselves? And like Jesus, are we willing to step out of our comfort zones to minister to the outcast, the overlooked, and those the world has pushed aside? The living water of Christ not only refreshes us but is meant to flow through us to bless others. When we reflect His grace to the broken and dry places around us, we reveal the heart of God to a thirsty world.
