Obey your Thirst
Image is Nothing, Thirst is Everything, Obey your Thirst… This is Sprite's marketing mantra. The message is to drink Sprite, not for the image, but because of the taste. Now I am not a marketing genius, however if I am going to drink for the taste, I would probably choose something better than carbonated sugar water with a touch of lemon.
Not to burst any marketing genius's bubbles (no pun intended), but as refreshment, soda is soda. It won't make you feel anything more than filled up with sweet water that fizzes. It won't pay your bills, save your marriage, solve world hunger, or promote world peace.
These must have been the thoughts (well maybe not exactly…J) that raced through the mind of the Samaritan woman in John 4:13-14 when Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Jesus was promising that His water (even though He did not have a bucket with which to draw water and He was physically thirsty Himself) would save relationships, solve world-sized problems, promote world peace and a plethora of other things.
Sunday, the sermon will be from John 4:1-15 and it is entitled, "The Ministry of Christ-Life Touching Life." We will take an in depth look at the story behind the story of the woman at the well. We will analyze her frame of reference and look at the way in which Jesus was able to touch her life-eternally.
I invite you to join with the group in this historical discourse that has obvious application for today. I also remind you to spend some time reading the Scripture passage and in prayer to prepare for worship. I can't wait to see you on Sunday!
Blessings!
