What can Jesus offer that nothing else can? In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well. This encounter defies social norms. Jews didn't speak to Samaritans, and men didn't publicly speak to women. Yet, Jesus asks her for a drink and offers her something greater: "living water." Confused, the woman questions Him, and Jesus explains that the water He offers leads to eternal life. She eagerly asks for this water, unaware of its true meaning. Jesus gently exposes her deepest needs, revealing knowledge of her past. Realizing Jesus is the Messiah, she runs to tell her town. "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" Remember, Jesus knows you fully and offers you this same living water today. Are you ready to accept?
