    There is a thirst in every heart that can only be satisfied by our Creator. This is seen in John's account of the woman at the well. Like her, we must encounter Jesus in order to satisfy the spiritual thirst we have.

I believe that one of the most amazing things about Jesus’ ministry is the way in which he dealt with people here on Earth.

    In the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, the Lord Jesus is presented as the Great Evangelist. From the time He won Nathaniel (John 1:48-51) to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43), He was busy bringing sinners to Himself.

    In Chapter 4 of his Gospel, John has us turn our attention to the Lord Jesus as the Master Soul-Winner and our example for sharing the good news of salvation to everyone regardless of background, culture, nationality, or any circumstance. No one is exempt from hearing and receiving the message ...read more
