And besides, do you think you’re greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed? John 4:12

 There are many people today who have no interest in Jesus Christ or becoming a Christian. The list of excuses is long, but I believe the center of their resistance is they don’t believe Jesus has anything better to offer them than the life they are currently living.

 Today’s verse is part of a conversation Jesus had with a woman who was retrieving water at a deep well (John 4). He offered her “living water”, which she found difficult to understand because He had no rope or bucket to drawl the water, and He said His water is eternal. She had no idea who she was talking to, until He revealed her life and it opened her eyes to the truth of God. Because of her encounter, others in her village came to believe in Jesus Christ and what He offered, eternal life to those who believed He was the Son of God.

 Maybe you are on the fence about what Jesus Christ has to offer your life. You might have ideas that a Christian lives a boring and restricted life, and quite frankly you don’t want to give up your pleasures. I can assure you this is not the kind of life Jesus offers. He offers you a life of love, forgiveness, wisdom to make right decisions, conviction that holds you accountable to live a better life and pleasing to Him, and a fellowship with other believers that welcomes you as a family member, not just a friend. Looking back over my life as a Christian, I can tell you God has helped me navigate challenges and experiences that I otherwise would have failed, doing it by my own strength and wisdom.

 Jesus Christ offers you “living water”, an eternal relationship with your Creator, who will take care of your every need and desire, by simply believing in Him, asking Him to come into your heart and seek forgiveness of sins. Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. Nothing on earth can compare to what He can offer you today. God bless!
