(John 6:35) “…whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”
Another intriguing thought that has
germinate this morning, is those who rebel against the word of God will always
end up on the loosing side. Deceit leads us to believe we have won when we have
in fact lost. Satan and his cronies will always endeavour to lead the believer
into his web of simulation. Just enough to lure us in and just enough to keep
the individual hooked on whatever door has been opened to them. Lust will never
be able to be quenched, it is impossible. Our need for water proves the point
rather well, we drink when we are thirsty and over a period of time the thirst
subsides; until we are thirsty again and so the cycle continues. It is no
different with the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh or the pride of
life. We are always looking for our next fix; it cannot be any other way, our
sinful natures have taken care of that.
However when we come to Christ, He is
the eternal water that refreshes, He alone has the power to achieve this; once
we have truly been born again and drunk from His cistern, we will never thirst again.
What do I mean by this? It’s not as if we will never have to be refreshed by Him,
which must happen on a daily basis if we are to keep our guard up. But we will
never seek out any other answers concerning the kernel of life, which is too
call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to be saved from the
billions of varying lures of our flesh. He is the eternal water who unquestioningly
satisfies. Other religions may keep your attention drawn to its teaching, it
may tickle your ears just enough to appease your consciences, but that’s all it
will ever do.
“Jesus is the way, the truth and the
life” and no man can approach God the Father in any other way. Satan is aware
of this and tirelessly throws out decoys looking to deceive. Sadly he goes
around like a roaring lion seeking to devour as many as possible, but his days
are numbered.
Money is one of the greatest lures and
it leads to a serious sinful mind-set which is covetousness. Sexual lust
another, the list is endless. Nevertheless the point I hone in on is that which
will equip us for the trial of life and it is this; “Jesus said to them, "I
am the bread of life; whoever comes to me
shall not hunger, and whoever
believes in me shall never thirst.”” (John 6:35)
This is a fact that will always satisfy, find Christ
and you will know what it means to live.
