You Will Never Thirst Again
(John 4:13?14)

From birth, people live in relationships with parents, children, spouses, siblings, neighbors, and others. Good relationships enrich life, but broken ones bring hurt and unhappiness. The Samaritan woman sought happiness through five marriages, but her search left her empty. Then one day, while drawing water, she met Jesus.

1. A Woman who came out to draw Water in Broad Daylight
As Jesus traveled from Judea to Galilee, He stopped in the Samaritan town of Sychar (John 4:4?5). There, a woman came alone to draw water at midday, under the hot sun. Having endured five failed marriages, she carried deep wounds and loneliness. To avoid the stares and ridicule of others, she came at noon when few people were around (John 4:6). Like her, we too know the pain of broken relationships. Family conflicts, strained friendships, and betrayal leave scars that weigh heavily on our hearts. It was in the midst of such pain that the Samaritan woman encountered Jesus at the well.

2. The Woman who met Jesus
While human encounters can leave us wounded, an encounter with Jesus transforms us. Jesus began by asking the Samaritan woman for a drink. Shocked, she replied, for Jews did not associate with Samaritans (John 4:9). However, Jesus was not simply thirsty for water. He saw her deeper thirst. “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13?14, NIV) Human love fades, but the love of Christ satisfies the soul forever. Only Jesus, the Savior, can heal our wounds and restore what is broken.

3. Jesus, the Problem Solver
Jesus not only comforted the Samaritan woman but also revealed the root of her struggles. He said, “Go, call your husband and come back” (John 4:16, NIV). When she replied she had no husband, He laid bare the truth of her life: “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” (John 4:17?18, NIV). In that moment, her hidden pain was exposed and healed. Restored, she became a powerful witness that many Samaritans came to believe in Jesus because of her testimony (John 4:39). Today, we too are invited to meet Jesus. He is the one who sees our deepest needs, heals our wounds, satisfies our spiritual hunger, and makes us vessels for the gospel.
