Never Thirst Again, Part 2
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:9-14
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:37
Thirst is a perception associated with the body's need for water. The body's internal environment, the organs and tissues, requires certain amounts of water and mineral salts to function properly. Too much or too little water or salt can damage or destroy cells. Therefore, people and animals must control the balance of water and salt within their bodies. This balance is maintained mainly through the kidneys, which remove water and salts as urine, and the behaviors associated with seeking out and consuming water and other liquids.
Not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration. Symptoms of dehydration usually begin with thirst and progress to more alarming manifestations that are often fatal.
Now if dehydration is the removal of water from an object, then the treatment of dehydration to reverse its effects would be rehydration. To prevent dehydration you simply need to replenish the liquids that are lost throughout the day.
At the end of the feast Jesus knew that there were those in the midst who were still hungry not for food but for God. He also knew by whom their thirst could be satisfied. He said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (John 7:37).” My friend, we all need that “last day” experience where we come to the end of ourselves. We all need to come to that place where after “that great day of feasting” we realize that we are still dehydrated. Thank God that Jesus made a way for us so that we don’t have to die of thirst. Today I encourage you to daily “rehydrate” through bible study, prayer, and fellowshipping with other believers.
