Spring Cleaning - What's Important

On Sunday, we talked about identifying what is most important in our lives. That, if we are going to clean out our lives, as we clean out our rooms and homes, we have to first identify the most important things in them so that we don't throw them away.

As we discussed this, we looked at what Christ said to the Samaritan Woman.

Read John 4:4-26

1. What did Jesus ask the woman? What was her response?
2. What did Jesus offer the woman? Why was what he was offering different?
3. How can we have this water?

Application:

Jesus promised the woman that the water he was offering her, living water, would quench her thirst forever. Not only that but it "suggests that availability, accessibility and abundance of the divine life for believers" that ultimately leads to eternal life.

Are you drinking from the water Christ offers or are you trying to quench your thirst with things others view as important and necessary?

We can all have this water by being with Christ. When you are spending time in prayer, mediation, or study of the Bible, you are drinking from the living water that only Christ alone can offer you.

This week, spend time with Christ - more than just a 5-10 minute Bible reading - in which you are drinking the water and then enabling it to quench your thirst and provide that nourishment that we all need.

Pray
