** Firman Tuhan: Yohanes 4:15 **
"Kata perempuan itu kepada-Nya, "Tuan, berikanlah aku air itu, supaya aku tidak haus dan tidak usah datang lagi ke sini untuk menimba air."
Selain udara, air adalah kebutuhan vital manusia. Tanpa air, manusia hanya dapat bertahan hidup 3-5 hari. Sayangnya, banyak orang memakai air tak layak konsumsi karena berbagai faktor, yang membahayakan hidup mereka pada masa depan. Pada 1992 PBB menetapkan 22 Maret sebagai Hari Air Sedunia sebagai usaha menarik perhatian publik akan pentingnya air bersih dan penyadaran akan pengelolaan sumber air bersih yang berkelanjutan. Namun, sadarkah Anda, ada yang lebih vital dari kebutuhan akan air bersih?
Perempuan Samaria datang menimba air ke sumur di tengah hari yang terik ketika semua orang lebih suka berlindung di rumah mereka. Ternyata, ia memilih waktu itu untuk menghindari bertemu dengan orang lain. Ia memiliki cap buruk di tengah masyarakat karena status perkawinannya yang penuh kegagalan.
Namun, Yesus juga sengaja menempuh jalan di Samaria untuk menemui perempuan itu (Yohanes 4:4). Di tepi sumur Yakub, mereka berbincang tentang air hidup yang akan terus memancar di dalam diri setiap orang yang menerima anugerah Allah. Perempuan Samaria itu akhirnya menyadari bahwa ia jauh lebih memerlukan air hidup itu dibandingkan air sumur.
Sukacita karena telah bertemu dengan sumber air hidup, yaitu Kristus, membuatnya meninggalkan tempayannya. Ia pergi ke kota dan bersaksi kepada mereka yang selama ini justru dihindarinya (Yohanes 4:28). Kristus telah mengubah hidupnya. Kita memang sangat memerlukan air untuk bertahan hidup, tetapi tanpa menemukan Sang Pemberi Air Hidup, hidup kita akan sia-sia.
Kebahagiaan dan kepuasan sejati hanya akan kita dapatkan di dalam Yesus

** Scripture: John 4:15 **
"The woman said unto Him," Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."
"The woman said unto Him," Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."
In addition to air, water is a vital human needs. Without water, humans can survive only 3-5 days. Unfortunately,
many people use the water unfit for consumption due to various factors,
which endanger their lives in the future. In
1992 the United Nations set March 22 as World Water Day in an effort to
draw public attention on the importance of clean water resources
management and awareness of sustainable clean water. However, are you aware, there are more vital than the need for clean water?
Samaritan woman came to draw water into a well in the middle of a sunny day when all people prefer to take refuge in their homes. Apparently, he chose that time to avoid meeting with other people. He has a bad seal in the community because of their marital status are full of failure.However, Jesus also deliberately take the road to meet the woman of Samaria (John 4: 4). Beside Jacob, they talked about living water will continue to radiate in every person who receives the grace of God. Samaritan woman came to realize that he is much more that life requires water than well water.
Joy for having met with the source of living water, which is Christ, making left her water jar. He went to the city and to witness to those who have actually avoided (John 4:28). Christ has changed his life. We are indeed very need water to survive, but without finding the Giver of Living Water, our lives will be wasted.
