I'm going to read verses 13 and 14. We are going to meditate on the effects that the water of eternal life that Christ offers produces. Verse 13 says, Jesus answered and said, Anyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again. But that which comes from the water which I will give him shall never be thirsty, but the water which I will give him shall be a fountain of water in him, which shall overflow for ever and ever. Amen. This is part of the conversation that Jesus had with the Samaritan woman, as we know her, because we don't have her name. We don't know what her name was. We know a few things about her. For example, we know that she was a Samaritan foreign woman. The Samaritans were always in racial, religious discord with the Jews. That's why when the Lord asks for water, she responds in a somewhat hostile way, saying, how is it that you ask me to drink, being a Jew? if I am a Samaritan woman. So we know that she was a woman who missed the promises, the pacts, the worship of the people of God. We also know that she was not precisely an example of morality. She had five husbands and now she was living with the sixth. And the sixth was a case of fornication. We can also deduce that, obviously, she was not a young woman. And she was a woman hardened by life too. She was a woman of strong temperament. She was alone. Surely she frequently went to Caraguay. She was a woman who knew how to develop herself. She knew how to solve her problems on her own. Self-sufficient. After so many failures, she had learned. A very passionate woman, distrustful. In terms of morals, she was obviously libertine and probably depressive. Her past was scabrous. So the problem of depression and immorality, loneliness and aggressive people is not just a problem in Miami. Here in Miami there are a lot of people like that. It's not just a problem in the United States or a problem in a particular region. It's an old problem. It's a permanent problem in the human being. And also the problem of people who are out there dragging a scabrous past, failures in their lives. That is very common. And of course, all this made this woman a very unsatisfied woman, who felt unhappy. Everyone looks for happiness according to how they think. Some look for it in money. Others look for her in the family, others look for her in pleasure. This woman was looking for her in romance, in marriage, in a man. She thought that a man was going to make her happy, and no man made her happy. When she saw the Lord Jesus Christ, who spoke to her, she probably thought, this is another one of those shameless people who want to come and get close to me. She didn't know, brother, that he was the one who was going to transform her life. This is what happens to many people when they listen to the Gospel and say, another one of those false religions that come to me to want to wash my brain and they do not realize that the word of life is coming to their doors. This is what we know about this woman. And the Lord approaches her asking her something. The Lord says in verse number 7, Love to live. Obviously, brother, Christ wanted to win the soul of this woman. It says in verse number 4 that it was necessary to go through Samaria. If you look at a map to go from Judea to Galilee, you have to go through Samaria. At the southern end is Judea and at the northern end is Galilee, and in the middle is Samaria. But as we already know that the Jews and the Samaritans did not get along, all the Jews always did this. They would surround themselves so as not to go through Samaria, and then they would go to Galilee. They did not like to go through Samaria, because there was always conflict and problems. But it is said that Jesus went through Samaria. It was necessary for him to go through Samaria. And why was it necessary for him to go through Samaria? Well, he had a purpose. He had a purpose to teach his disciples a lesson on how to win souls, on how to preach the Gospel. But he mainly had the purpose of winning the soul in this way. And that teaches us, brothers, that we must be willing to have that determination and that vision. We don't walk around with a little book called the Four Spiritual Laws asking people questions. You know, there are people who have a little book and ask people, do you know the sinner? And if people say yes, then they go to the second page and say, and you recognize that what separates you from God is sin? And if the person says yes, they go to the third page and ask, and you recognize that Jesus Christ is the only bridge to save you? And if they say yes, then they go to the fourth page and say, and what do you accept in your heart? And if they say yes, then they kneel down and say, can I pray for you? I declare you saved. This is how many Christians evangelize today. They say, they became five, they became ten. But that is not conversion. Jesus did not do that with the Samaritan woman. And we never see that any of the apostles did that. It is not to follow a few steps. It is about the Gospel to regenerate them and to develop a relationship in which we gain confidence. We earn the right to preach the gospel to these people, not only with our words, but also with our lives. And that can take time. And in the case of the pastors who preach from the pulpit, it is not about convincing those who come to the front and make a prayer for them, but it is about the Gospel regenerating them. And when the Gospel regenerates a person, that person reacts by the operation of the Holy Spirit, not by the strategy of the church or of the believers. There are pastors and members of their churches who are very worried so that when a visitor comes in, they say, no, let's let him escape, we have to visit him, we have to call him, we have to go after him. Don't leave us, but it's not us who stop people, brother. If the Lord brings them, the word of God will retain them. And of course, we as believers, brother, contribute to that with our love, our attitude, our sincerity and our support for the soul of that person. But retaining people just to retain them, to fill the blanks and to be able to say that we have won many souls, that is not the way the Lord did it, it is not how we want to do it. But we see, brother, that the Lord knew how to approach the sinners, and He approaches them in a very wise way, saying, give me water. He asks for something. But when the Lord asks for something, brothers, He asks, not to take us away, He asks to give us. He does not need anything from us. We cannot give anything to the Lord. If the Bible says that there is no difference, As soon as everyone has sinned and is deprived of the glory of God, we are enemies of God. Enemies in spirit and in bad works. What we need is reconciliation. And there is nothing that we can do to reconcile with God. He is the one who has to come. That is why the Apostle Paul said that the preachers are ambassadors in the name of Christ, telling people to reconcile with God. Because God has taken the initiative. How did he take the initiative? Well, he says that whoever did not know sin, his son Jesus Christ, God, for us, made him sin so that we may be made just of God in him. So the Lord is asking this woman, give me a drink. But in reality, brother, what the Lord is looking for is that the woman tell him, give me water. That's why when the woman answers him, saying, why is he asking for water? He says, if you knew the gift of God, and if you knew who is the one who tells you, give me to drink, you would ask him, and he would give you living water. The Lord seeks us and asks us, our heart, asks us for faith, asks us to confess his name, but to do us good. And then, in the course of the conversation, the Lord offers water to this woman. And the Lord says to her, Anyone who drinks from the water of this well will be thirsty again. But he who drinks from the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. And the water that I will give him will be a fountain of water in him that springs forth for eternal life. And notice that this water, the Lord calls it living water. Agua viva, what it means in the Bible, brothers, in its most natural sense, is the water of a river. Here in Miami we have many dead waters. Because you see in the residential areas, there are very beautiful lakes, but they are dead waters. There are also many canals, but they are dead waters. The water of a canal is not the same as the water of a river. The water of a river is living water. Because that water that flows, that is being constantly cleaned, can be drunk, can sustain human life. The water of a canal cannot sustain human life. So the Lord uses that meaning of living water to speak something deep to this woman, telling her, I'm going to give you living water, not like the dead water of this well. The water of this well is dead, but I'm going to give you living water. And so, the Lord proceeds to explain to that woman the effect of this water. And there are three effects that I am going to mention. First, the effect of satisfying her life. Remember that we have here a woman who is dispossessed, with a scabrous past, beaten, libertine morally, and the Lord is offering her water that will satisfy her life. She did not understand it, but the Lord is offering her true satisfaction. Remember that Christ said, I have come for you to have life, and life in abundance. Men do not understand this because the satisfaction in the way the carnal mind conceives it is too earthly. Certainly we need satisfaction on this earth. We are human beings and God has designed us in a way that we need certain things to live a satisfactory life on earth. We need people who love us, who appreciate us. We need to be occupied in something productive. We need to feel useful. We need to feel fulfilled, to do something that we know contributes to others. That's why the Lord says that one of the greatest demands is to love your neighbor. Because to love our neighbor, we give people that ingredient they need to be satisfied. And when other people love us, they also satisfy us. This woman obviously, brother, did not know that satisfaction, because she had not known a sincere relationship of love. That's why the brothers in Christ have so much meaning for our lives. It's not true. Because the brothers in Christ, the more they know God, the more they love. The believers in Christ can give that love. And that's why the communion with the brothers is so precious for a true son of God. For the true sons of God, brothers, there is no more important relationship than the relationship with our brothers. Of course, we have our husband or wife, our children, our parents and our blood brothers. They are important for our lives. They have to be, of course. But brothers, the closest and most intense relationships of a believer in Christ are the brothers in Christ. And that is why it is so important that we compromise with a local church, because in that local church we are going to find that relationship with our brothers, which is not a perfect relationship, it is a relationship where there are problems too, because we are sinful human beings. But it is a relationship that reflects something very real of that love that Christ gives us, because the true believers have this water that the Lord is offering to this Samaritan woman. And the Lord is offering this water to this woman to satisfy her. And when someone is satisfied with this water, he can offer it to others. So the first thing the Lord offers to this woman is satisfaction. But as I said, men do not understand it, because they seek satisfaction in other things. This woman at this moment is not understanding the Lord. He is talking to her about the water of life. One of the characteristics of a non-converter is that he does not understand the Bible. He already reads it and does not understand it. Or if he understands it, he understands it only at a purely intellectual level. He does not care. True believers read the Bible and find life there. It is not true that we can read the Bible and many times we end up broken and crying to read it. And suddenly we can visualize with the eyes of the Spirit the magnificence, the glory of what is written there. It is wonderful, brothers. The word of God is a living word. It is a word that penetrates from the soul and the spirit. And the thoughts, the intentions of the heart are like a hammer that breaks the stone. It's a word, brothers, that gives life. And this woman, up to this moment, brother, is not understanding it. First, she thinks it's natural water. She says, how are you going to get water from here? And then she thinks it's a mystical water, a rare water from which she understands nothing. But the Lord is very patient, very merciful. And he continues to insist, brother. Everywhere he tries to make her understand, first he asks for water, Then he awakens the curiosity and says, if you only knew. Then he tells her that she would rest. And he says, anyone who drinks this water again will be thirsty again, but the one who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. He is awakening her need. Then, when she finally shows some interest and says, Lord, give me that water. Do you know what is the first drink of water that the Lord gives the woman? When she says, give me that water, it is to convince her of her sin. Because they say, well, call your husband and we'll talk. And then the woman says, I don't have a husband. And the Lord says, well, you said, you don't have a husband, because you've had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. Do you realize your condition? The first drink of water that the Lord gives us is to convince us of our sin so that we can appreciate grace. It is impossible to appreciate, brother, the glory, the greatness, Of the blood that Christ spilled on the cross of Calvary, if we don't realize our sin. That's why it's an abomination, it's a falsehood to preach the Gospel without preaching sin. Without convincing the sinners of their condition. It's a Gospel that simply offers people peace, prosperity, well-being, but they never convince them of their sin. Or they convince them to come to the church with many strategies and many programs and activities and entertainment. And they are convinced and they like the church, but they never realize their sin. Brothers, they will not taste the water of life. The water of life only comes for those who first answer the question that the Lord asks about our sin. That is what the Lord is doing, brother. He is convincing her to offer her the only thing that satisfies her. It did not happen to us like that, brother. There is nothing that satisfies us on this earth. But that Lord says to her, whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again. But the one who drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. This water satisfies, satisfies. It makes us sing, brother, the song of Isaiah, chapter 12. That is the song of the redeemed. On that day you will say, I will sing to you, O Jehovah, because although you were angry with me, your indignation departed and you have consoled me. And here God is my salvation. I will be assured, I will not fear. Because my strength and my song is, Ah, Jehovah, who has been salvation for me, you will bring out with pleasure waters from the fountain of salvation. Because he knows the condition of the sinners. He says, Isaiah says, the afflicted and the menaced, seek the waters, and there are none. His tongue is dry of thirst. I, Jehovah, will hear them. Yo, el Dios de Israel, no los desampararé. Y oigan la promesa del Señor, hermano, para los afligidos y menesterosos, cuya lengua está seca. Dicen, las alturas abriré ríos y fuentes en medio de los valles, y abriré en el desierto estanques de aguas y manantiales de aguas en la tierra seca. Segundo lugar, con estas palabras, cuando el Señor le dice al que viviera en el agua que yo, I will give you, you will never be thirsty." The Lord was not only offering personal satisfaction to the Samaritan woman, but He was offering her eternal life. There are certain disciplines or philosophies, and there are also religions that satisfy men. I have heard people from other religions, Faisas, Telling wonderful testimonies, brother, that would leave us impressed. Saying, when I got to this place I was transformed, I left the vice, and my home was restored. In other words, it does not only happen among Christians. Miracles and extraordinary things happen in other places where complete falsehood is preached. That is why it is a fundamental error in the Gospel, in the miracles, or in the transformations. There are also people who in the Evangelical Christian churches leave the liquor, leave the visible sins, change their lives, then they become! They don't want eternal life! What the Lord is offering here is not only satisfaction, not only to remove the frustration, the bitterness, the loneliness, but He is also offering eternal life! And that is what we really need, brother. Because the Lord says, what good is it if someone wins the whole world and loses his soul? If someone has wonderful experiences, receives healings, receives transformations, and feels happy, satisfied, and says that he has God, and the day he arrives there and says to him, Lord, Lord, and the Lord will say to him, why do you say to me Lord, Lord, I do not know you. So the Lord offers him not only satisfaction for his frustrated life, but also the Lord offers him eternal life. And he says, the one who drinks from the water that I will give him will never have thirst, but the water that I will give him, listen to this, will be in him a fountain that jumps for eternal life. That phrase, a fountain that jumps for eternal life. Let's think about this, how the Lord is telling him, I will give you water, and when you drink this water, this water, the Lord is telling him, it will become within you a fountain. In other words, a source will come out of you that will splash to eternal life. It will satisfy you completely, but for eternal life. It is not something that will satisfy you only to calm the anxiety of your heart and to solve your problems or to flatten all your psychological or emotional difficulties, but it will be for eternal life. This is not simply something therapeutic. Brothers, the Gospel is not a psychological remedy. It is not an emotional remedy. It is eternal life. It is eternal life. But of course, brothers, it does not heal you emotionally. Of course not. It works miracles. It transforms lives. But it is eternal life. Eternal life. Christ did not come to die on the cross of Calvary and shed his precious innocent blood only for us to live happily on this earth and not have problems. He came to give eternal life. Eternal life. A fountain that springs forth for eternal life. It says in the book of Revelation, chapter 7, verse 16, those who are in the presence of the Lord are before his throne, who will no longer be hungry, will no longer be thirsty, and the sun will no longer fall on them. because the lamb that is in the middle of the throne will shepherd you and will guide you to sources of water of life? The lamb in eternity will guide us to sources of eternal water of life? Revelation 22 shows the city of eternal Jerusalem. It says that there is a clean river of water of life, shining like the crystal that comes out of the throne of God and of the lamb. And in the middle of the street of the city, on one side and on the other side of the river, there is the tree of life that produces twelve fruits, and every month it bears its fruit, and the leaves of the tree are for the sanity of the nations, and there will be no more curse, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it." Brothers, the cities that are built next to a river are prosperous cities. The Psalm 1 says that the one who meditates on the law of the Lord will be like a tree planted next to a stream of water that gives its fruit to its time and its leaf does not fall. The prophet Zechariah foretold the same thing that John tells us in the book of Revelation. In chapter 14, Zechariah said that on that day, living waters would come out of Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and the other to the western sea, in summer and winter. The same idea, eternal life. represented in a river of living water. Ezequiel, in chapter 47, found a river, and in that river, the waters had grown so much that it could not be passed, but swimming. Next to the river, trees grew on one side and on the other. And it says in chapter 47, in verse 9, that every living soul that swims wherever it enters these two rivers, will live. That was a spiritual vision of eternal life. A life where forever, brothers, we can be in the presence of God and enjoy his mercy and goodness. Do you know what is contrary to eternal life? When life speaks of eternal life for the believers, it is not saying that the believers will live for all eternity and the inconverses will be undone. Also the inconverses will have eternal life. The only thing they will have is not called life, it is hell. The issue with the unbelievers is not that they are going to disappear. Some false doctrines say that when the impious die, after suffering for a while, they disappear. Jehovah's Witnesses say that when a person dies, they disappear. But no, the impious will have eternal life, but an eternal life where they will never, ever, have even a drop of God's mercy. Even the most miserable people on this earth enjoy the mercy of God. Today we were reading the book of Lamentations. It is a very difficult book to read. A lot of suffering, a lot of anguish, to the point that it talks about mothers who, out of hunger, cooked their own children and ate them. That is conceivable, but up to that point there was suffering, and yet the prophet says, It is for the mercy of Jehovah that we have been consumed. Because they never declined in their mercy. They will despair in Jehovah. Even in the midst of circumstances like this. But in hell, brother, there will be no hope. Not even the slightest hope. Do you know what are the last words that the condemned will hear? The last words they will hear from God. They will be cursed to eternal fire. And they will not hear anything from God. And everything they will experience will be the absolute wrath of God without any mercy. I don't want to be in that hell. Eternal life, what it means, brother, is that the wrath of God will be completely removed. Because even we who are here on this earth and have been redeemed, justified, and we no longer have the wrath of God, we still experience some of the wrath of God. Because we live in a world under the curse. For example, we get sick, we get old, we suffer. Our loved ones suffer, there are tragedies, despite the mercy of God. But there will come a time when all that will end. There will be no more tears. There will be no more heat, no more hunger, no more thirst. The Lord will wash away our tears. And He will shepherd us and guide us to the sources of living water of His eternal mercy. That's what we believe, brothers. And the Lord was saying to the Samaritan woman, Woman, whoever drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. Never. But the water that I will give him will be a fountain, a spring for eternal life. That is illustrated in the Old Testament when the people of Israel crossed the desert and they were thirsty. And they found a source of bitter waters. And with his rod, Moses turned them into sweet waters. But the sweet waters of Marah had to be left there, because they were in an oasis. They had to go, and they were left again without water. Then the Lord gave them a rock, and Moses with his rod made water come out of the rock. And Paul says in the book of Corinthians, chapter 10, that this rock followed them, and this rock was Christ. You have that water, brother, that is the only water that satisfies. In this life, brother, there are many difficult situations, intimate, personal, physical, economic, and the only one that satisfies is Christ, brother. But that satisfaction is not only a satisfaction to calm our anxieties and give us peace in the heart here on earth, it is to give us peace with Him and to give us eternal life, eternal life. That woman had no idea of what the Lord was offering her. It was something so glorious that she could not imagine it. Well, in third place, the Lord was not only offering her personal satisfaction, but the Lord was offering her eternal life. But in third place, the Lord was also offering her that she was going to become, she was going to become a fountain that was going to splash many. In other words, he was saying to her, that until now has been useless. It only serves so that people have a reason for gossip in the town. And it has only served to satisfy a shameless man, and that you have not really done anything productive in your life. Now you are going to become a fountain. The water that I will give you will be a fountain in you that jumps. It will splash many. It will be a fountain that splashes. That is what the Lord does, brother, with the believers. He makes us useful people. Because He gives us to drink from the water, from the water of life. He makes us useful to others. He allows us to be a blessing to others. By blessing us, He gives us words, He gives us love. It gives us a new dimension in life that allows us to be a blessing to others. It allows us to be a blessing in the Church, to our brothers, to our family in conversation, in our work. People look at true believers, and even if they don't recognize them verbally, but when they are in crisis, who do they look for, my brother? to the believers, to the Christians. When they are in difficulty, they go and make little secrets so that more people do not realize. They tell them, look, pray for me. Or they come to me for advice. Because they do not know, brother. Because the Lord makes us become sources. The Lord said to him, in the one who drinks the water that I will give him, he will never have a being, but the water that I will give him will be in him a source that jumps to eternal life. In St. John chapter 7, verse 37 to 39, it says that the Lord, on the last and great day of the feast, and here he is talking about a feast in which the Israelites, brothers and sisters, made a huge display of water, they spilled a lot of water, and it was a feast of a lot of water, and in the end they stayed the same. So it says that on the last and great day of that feast of so much water, Jesus stood up and raised his voice and said, If anyone is thirsty, come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from within him. And this he said of the spirit that those who believed in him should receive. Rivers of living water will flow from within him. The water that the Lord offers, brother, is a water that runs from our interior. Something happens here in our interior, in our mind, in our heart. And I remember, brother, when I converted. And I didn't know how to evangelize, but I wanted to talk to people about Christ. So I told my friends, come here, I'm going to show you something. And I put it in the room. This was the unconverted. And I grabbed my guitar and started singing a hymn to them. I had just learned, because I was just converted, the one who says, And I started to cry, and I told them, look, this is the path of Christ's love. After all that I wanted was to preach to the people the love of Christ, the grace of Christ. That is the source that jumps in our hearts. That is the desire that we always have, to speak to people about the love of Christ. To tell them, look, it's not because of my effort. I didn't do anything because I couldn't do anything. It is the Lord who has done it. And He did it, being God. He is God, who became man and surrendered himself for your sin, for your... For your life, and that life that you have, you can change it. And when we do it, brother, we expose ourselves to a lot of rejection, because people don't understand. But we must not let that discourage us, take away the strength to keep doing it, brother, because here is a source in us. Well, brothers, the story of the Samaritan woman ends. saying, in chapter 4, from verse 27, he was talking to the woman and his disciples came and were amazed that he was talking to a woman. However, no one said, what question is that? What are you talking about with her? Then he says, the woman left her chalice. And he went to the city, and the water had reached him, the fountain had begun to sprout, because that woman left him the bowl, and he ran to the city, and he began to speak to the men. He says, and he said to the men, Come, come to a man who has told me everything I have done, and you will not be the Christ. That is the fountain, brother. What are you doing to this woman? You are already sanctifying that fountain! Just as the Lord told him. Come, look! Something has happened to me! Come and see! I believe that this is Christ! She was not even sure. So, to testify, one needs a lot of theology. This is not deep theology, right? But it is a real experience, brother, of the water of life. She spoke to them with such conviction, brother, that they left the city and came, the men left the city and came to Christ. I don't know how many men, it seems there were a lot, but there were a lot of men who came after the Samaritan woman, running forward and the men behind, splashing them with that water of life. And while the disciples were talking about food, saying, Rabbi, eat. And the Lord said, I have food to eat that you don't know about. And the disciples, preoccupied with the food, And the Lord says, my food is that I do the will of the Father who sent me and that his work be finished. Do not say, you still need four months for the blind to arrive. Here I say to you, raising your eyes, look at the fields that are already white for the blind. When the Lord says, look, that the fields are white for the blind, it is likely, brother, that the Samaritans, that that group of people were coming, raising dust and looking far away, and he says, look, there comes the harvest, there comes the harvest. And it says in verse 39, brother, that many of the Americans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who gave testimony, saying, My son, all that I have done. Look, that's what impressed her, brother. At the moment, what impressed her was that the Lord said to her, you have had five husbands, and now you have your husband. And she said, this man has already discovered my life, and that I am a miserable woman, and that I am a failure in my life, and now he is offering me something that I had never experienced in all my existence. It says in verse 40 that the Samaritans came to Christ and begged him to stay with them and he stayed there for two days. With reason it says in verse 4 that it was necessary for him to go through Samaria. And they said to the woman, we do not believe only because you have done it, because we are also a son, and we know that truly this is the Savior of the world, Christ. That is no other thing, brother, than the water that was splashing, the fountain that sprang to that woman. That's why when the Lord was offering this water, she couldn't imagine it, brother. Do you know what the Lord has given us? What the Lord has given you, brother? What we have is precious. We have all the promises of the Lord to enjoy peace and tranquility. The Lord says, for nothing are you suffering. Don't be angry! Don't be angry for tomorrow! My step I leave, my step I give! That is to say, He satisfies us! But not only that, brother. He offers us eternal life. Through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ. And not only that. He tells us, what you have is going to begin to splash. And you are going to begin to be a source that will satisfy the thirst of many other people. It's going to splash. Rivers of living water will flow inside you that will refresh the lives of many people. The Bible says that as fresh waters are the new good to the thirsty man. That water must be asked of the Lord. No one asks for it until he realizes his sin, the falseness of the world, how artificial the world's happiness is, how temporal, how fictitious pleasure is. The carnal pleasure enters softly and becomes bitter later. This water, no brother, this water satisfies. It fully satisfies. The more we look for calm, satisfaction, happiness in the material, in men, in pleasure, far from God, no, nothing is found. The writer of Ecclesiastes said, I gave my heart to seek all that is done under heaven, and to laughter I said, what is that pleasure? I said, what is the use of this? And I found that everything is vanity, a vanity of vanities. So, brothers of this water, we have to spread it, we have to sprinkle other people with this water. Meditate on Christ, know the grace of Christ, share that grace. The Bible says that the fruit of righteousness is a tree of life, and the one who wins souls is wise. And that is the fruit that produces this water, brother. And those who understand this truth will shine like the shining of the firmament, says Daniel. And those who teach justice to the multitude, like the stars, for ever and ever. Do not dry up, no matter what is happening in your life. Do not allow the routine, the difficulties of life, to take away that precious water. The Lord says to all the thirsty, those who have no money, come, buy, eat, come, buy without money and without price, wine and milk. The Lord offers that water, brother, that precious water that only Christ gives us. Jehovah, said the psalmist, is my shepherd. Nada me faltará. En lugares de delicados pastos me hará descansar. Junto a aguas de reposo me pastoreará." Look at your face, man. The prophet Isaiah says, "'El Señor te pastoreará siempre, y en las sequías Él saciará tu alma. Le dará vigor a tus huesos, y tú serás como un huerto de riego y como un manantial de aguas, cuyas aguas nunca faltan.'" We do not allow our life to dry up, brother. We do not allow the eagerness, the difficulties, the sin, the worries to dry up our soul. Because the world that the baritone woman spoke to him today tells us that whoever drinks from the water that he offers us, You will never be thirsty, but it will be in Him a fountain that springs forth for eternal life. Father, You are in heaven. Thank You for Your kindness and Your mercy. Thank You, Lord, because one day we were walking far away, like the Samaritan woman, and You found us. You offered us water. You offered us Your grace and Your love. You offered us eternal life. You offered us your love, Lord, and we were able to feel our trust because you, with tenderness and mercy, Lord, you offered us to satisfy our need, to supply us abundantly, and today we live for you, Lord, and today we are your servants, we are yours. Let us be faithful servants, Father, for the glory of your name, Lord. Permite que nosotros hagamos lo que contribuye a la expansión de tu glorioso reino, en el nombre de Jesús. Gracias, Padre. Amén.
El Agua Que Salta para Vida Eterna
La Samaritana era una mujer desafiante, herida, insatisfecha y con un pasado escabroso. El Señor se propuso salvar su alma y se acercó a ella con gran compasión para hablarle de una satisfacción que ella nunca había conocido, la cual comenzaría en esta tierra, se extendería para vida eterna y salpicaría a todos a su alrededor. Cuando ella reconoció su condición perdida, y entendió y recibió esta agua de vida, comenzó a experimentar el amor de Dios que nunca había conocido y se convirtió en el instrumento de la conversión de muchos en Samaria. Esa misma agua sigue hoy trayendo verdadera satisfacción a los pecadores heridos por su vida pasada, dándoles vida eterna y haciéndolos útiles para el reino de Dios.
