John Chapter 4 - If Only We Knew — What Would Be Our Priority?
The more life experiences we accumulate, the more things we know. But what are the things we truly need to know? And of all the things we do know, what is the most important? When the Samaritan woman met Jesus by the well and questioned His request for water, Jesus desired for her to know the gift of God — everlasting life through Him. “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) That day, she came to the well not knowing about Jesus or salvation, yet left with joy and knowledge of the Christ who revealed Himself to her. Jesus, being omniscient, knew everything about the woman, including her deepest secrets, and wanted her to know who He really was and what He could give her. John 4 also prompts us to consider what we ought to know, and what we should do after knowing. “ While the Samaritan woman came to the well to draw water, presumably to drink and quench her thirst, what Jesus saw was her spiritual thirst and wanted her to know of the living water which would never let her thirst again. Today, He has also given us this living water, His Holy Spirit, to abide in and with us that we may never thirst. Just as water is essential for our physical survival, the Holy Spirit ensures the survival of our spiritual lives as He renews us in our walk of faith and moulds us into the image of Christ. When the spirit of God fills us, we have the assurance that He is with us and we will never thirst again. If only we knew how important it is to be filled with this living water from God, how much more would we pray for the infilling of the Holy Spirit? “28 After the Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus, she went back to her city to share what happened and many Samaritans believed in Jesus because of her testimony. (John 4:39) On the Samaritan woman’s part, all she did was speak about her experience with Jesus, and many were led to Christ. This reminds me of Peter and John in Acts 4, who boldly testified for Jesus before the Sanhedrin, saying Sometimes, preaching can seem like a daunting task and we fear not being able to persuade another person to believe. But let’s not forget that simply sharing about what we have seen and heard, the grace we have received and our experiences with God can very well be a way to lead people to Christ! If only we knew how powerful our testimonies are, and how many people are waiting to receive to God, what would be our attitude towards preaching?
John Chapter 3 - He Has Made Everything Beautiful in Its Time
V5-8 5 These verses show us that although we must be born again by the Spirit of God, how this happens remains a mystery to us. We cannot really see wind and cannot predict everything about it. Similarly, the work of the Spirit is not something we can completely understand. We know that what the Spirit does works, and why, but the intricacies are beyond our comprehension. This reminds me of Ecclesiastes 3:11. Ecclesiastes 3:11 11 We do not know and cannot find out what will happen in our lives, yet we know that as long as we hold on to God, He has a purpose for us in all that we do and that it will all work out beautifully and for good. Romans 8:28 28 Since God knows what is best for us, we need to trust in Him, in His timing and wisdom, because His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Always. Isaiah 55:9 9 Jeremiah 29:11 11
