Gospel of John Chapter 4 – Jesus with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well near Sychar. 

          Jesus said: 

    13“Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again.

    14 But whoever drinks of the water I shall give him  will never thirst again, It will become in him a fountain springing up into everlasting life.”

  Three pristine white flowers stood in their pots.

   The class teacher conducted an experiment.

    A little girl added a few drops of cochineal to the water in pot 2.

     The little boy was allowed to add blue colouring to pot 3.

       The next day there were visible changes, 

        One pure white flower now stood in pot 1

Pot 2 now has a  tinted red petal face and pot 3 is tinged with blue.

      All look BEAUTIFUL.

      The simple lesson in this experiment is profound.

      Life can tempt us to work to ‘beautify’ or alter the creative handiwork of God Almighty.   

                     BUT!………

      Only the flower in the pure untainted water will  continue to live out its normal ‘cut flower in a vase’  life. Additions to the other water ultimately pollutes.

     REJOICE BELOVED! In Christ we can drink all life long from the pure water of His Holy Spirit.

       HOLD UP YOUR CUP.    O lord fIll it up from the pure stream that flows from the Throne of God in Heaven.

       Help us to travel onwards towards Heaven with HIM refreshed daily by Confession. Repentance His Forgiveness and the glorious living water He provides.  

          A-men
