Who is it that Waits to be Born (part 4)

John 4:10-14

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Who is it that waits to be born in Bethlehem?

He is the living water from an eternal well.  

He is at once the water and the source. 

One drink of water from this well will cure your spiritual thirst forever.  

Drinking the water from this well will cause springs of water to well up in the drinker, so that others may drink from you.

To receive this water, all we have to do is ask.

The living water from an eternal well waits to be born in Bethlehem.

May the love of Christ be with you,
