What was her name? Who did Jesus offer an inner spring of water that wells up to eternal life? Who so strongly believed in Jesus that she boldly testified about Him all over town? (John 4:7-42) The Bible doesn’t tell us her name, but it does tell us that Jesus revealed many things to her and so drastically changed her life that she said to multitudes of people, “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” God is offering you what He offered the woman at the well. Jesus says: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me and drink.” (John 7:37)

God is offering you His never-ending living water. (John 7:38-39) He is calling you to set your affections on things above (Colossians 3:2) and to always look unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. (Hebrews 12:2) Jesus is calling you to worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. (John 4:23) Then God the Father can fill you with the mind and perspective of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and through the wisdom and understanding that the Holy Spirit gives (Colossians 1:9) the Father can directly and personally reveal to you things that no eye has seen or ear heard. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) Then, like the woman at the well and like James and John (who felt compelled to write about the woman at the well) you won’t be able to help speaking about the things you have seen and heard. (Acts 4:12) Wow!

October 31 is Reformation Day! It’s the day we celebrate people who criticized and changed church. That (and any other day) is a wonderful day to talk about and encourage people to open up and fully surrender to Christ’s inner spring of living water that wells up to eternal life.

Take Off the Locks and Unbox Your Faith!

It’s time to unbox
Christianity
And remove the locks
That quench the Spirit
So we can detox
From tired religion
And let Jesus put
Together His blocks
As the solid rocks
Of revelation
Directly from God!
(Matthew 16:17-18)
