Some of you who live in the city may never have seen a spring, but those who get out among the hills and streams will find here and there a spring of clear cold water bubbling up from the ground, or from between the rocks.
We all get thirsty, and when out walking on a warm day, we are pleased to run across one of these refreshing springs.
But it is our bodies that thirst for this kind of water. When we learn what poor, sinful creatures we are, and there is nothing in this world to satisfy us, we find our souls growing thirsty for something that will satisfy.
Dear reader, God tells us how we can satisfy this thirst. Jesus says,
“IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME AND DRINK.” John 7:37.
“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 4:14.
The invitation is free. It cost the Lord Jesus all the sufferings and agony of the cross, but it costs you nothing.
