(Nuggets from John 7:37)
It was on the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles that Jesus gave this open invitation to all: IF ANY MAN IS THIRSTY, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK.
This call is not for everyone, though an open invitation; THOSE WHO ARE THIRSTY KNOW THEY ARE THIRSTY, and the only way you can quench your thirst at that moment is to drink water.
However, Jesus was not referring to LITERAL WATER here, He was referring to the WATER OF THE WORD, the same water He offered the SAMARITAN WOMAN at the well.
The first step is to ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR THIRST, irrespective of your age or status in life. You have possibly felt that thirst that shows a huge vacuum within you that is yet to be filled, that longing and desire that shows you still haven’t found what you’re looking for.
If you must have your THIRST QUENCHED, you must be ready to PUT ASIDE EVERY INCONSEQUENTIAL NEED OR DESIRE, and FOCUS ON JESUS TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST AND FILL EVERY VOID IN YOU.
The world cannot satisfy your thirst, your earthly acquisitions, possessions, achievements and attainments in life can't quench it either. YOU NEED JESUS, WE ALL DO!
Jesus is inviting all who are thirsty to come to Him, come and drink this LIVING WATER that will never RUN DRY. Jesus is implying that all who need SALVATION should accept Him into their lives, and they will NEVER REMAIN THE SAME AGAIN.
He said "come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." If you are laden with the heavy load of sin, Jesus is giving you an offering to surrender to Him today, He will pardon, cleanse, purge and grant you access to the living waters and you will never thirst again.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
