Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” John 4:10

Do you know “the gift from God”? And are you asking for the “Living Water”? Jesus stopped and asked a Samaritan woman for a drink of water. The Samaritan woman was surprised Jesus was talking to her because he was a Jew and she was a Samaritan. As their conversation grew deeper and Jesus kept revealing things to her, she recognized that he is The Messiah. (John 4:25)

Many times in life we go through the motions missing messages and opportunities that God is trying to present to us. In this case, the Samaritan women thought Jesus was just a man looking for a drink of water, when she realized she was talking to the Son of God.

Jesus is the Living Water, through his grace and mercy, we can have eternal life and never thirst again. However, many of us search for the temporary water of this world. We worry about obtaining money, food, or clothing. But God already knows you need these things and they are all temporary.

When you accept Christ , you receive the “Living Water” in which you will thirst no more. The truth, life, and the way is all revealed and given to you in Jesus Name Amen

What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. John 2:11

Do you need to change or be transformed? One of the famous miracles we always hear about is Jesus changing the water into wine.  At first he didn’t even want to do this miracle but because he loved his mother he did it anyway. This miracle not only became one of the first signs of Jesus deity but also has become symbolic for our lives

As Christians we not only need Jesus to forgive us of our sins but we need a transformation.  The act of baptism is an act of repentance. The Biblical meaning of repentance is to change of mind and action.(Acts 3:19)  When you accept Christ you become a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17) your old sinful self has died on the cross and you are becoming transformed, just as the water was transformed into wine.

Do not conform to the ways of this world but become transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2) Through the baptism of the Holy Spirit you become transformed (Matthew 3:11) So when you read the story of Jesus turning Water into Wine, think about how he has transformed you also. Once you accept Christ into your heart, you will never be the same in Jesus Name Amen
