One recent Saturday morning, a black-capped chickadee came to our bird bath for a drink. He perched on the brim, as usual, but the water was too low for him to reach. Nevertheless, he kept bobbing his little head down and back up again, with his beak hitting only air. It was comical and sad at the same time, watching him try to get a drink over and over but failing. I rushed out to refill the birdbath with fresh water.
The scene reminded me of the Bible story where Jesus met the woman at the well (John 4:4-42). He asked her to give Him a drink and offered her living water in return. She commented that the well was deep, and Jesus had nothing to draw with, but the “well” of her soul was deeper still. There was no way this lady could reach the gift of eternal life and a deep, fulfilling relationship with God under her own power.
You and I can’t either.
Kind reader, the stuff of earth can never quench our spiritual thirst. Only Jesus Christ can give us living water—a perpetual source of spiritual nourishment and eternal life—to satisfy our deepest needs.
Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
Jesus – John 7: 37b, 38 (NIV)
