I think we could all agree that the world around us is very good at presenting things in a manner that looks beautiful to the naked eye but in reality; below the surface it is deadly. A slow poison meant to ultimately kill us all the while bringing us further and further away from the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us Jesus gives us water so we may never thirst again (John 4:14). The water Jesus gives us comes from Himself and through Himself for the glory of Himself. On the contrary the world will offer us something that looks like water but isn’t the kind of water that will provide relief, rather it will only leave us more thirsty. Picture this, you sit at a table and before you are placed two cups both filled with water. They look similar yet one of them is filled with salt water. See when someone drinks salt water the need for a drink doesn’t go away; it gets stronger. You are left more thirsty than ever, it didn’t provide for your need, it left you with a greater one. But if you take and drink of the other cup that is from God, it doesn’t only provide until the next time you are thirsty, it provides in a manner that you will never thirst again.
