Introduction
Thirst is one of the most powerful spiritual symbols in scripture.
Nicodemus sought Jesus out
In our scripture text this morning Jesus has an encounter with a Samaritan woman who even though she was drawing water from Jacob’s well she had a deep thirst that even she was unaware of.
Samaritan woman experienced a divine encounter
Illustration
The story is told of a young student who went to his spiritual teacher and asked the question, "Master, how can I truly find God?"
The teacher asked the student to accompany him to the river, which ran by the village and invited him to go into the water.
When they got to the middle of the stream, the teacher said, "Please immerse yourself in the water."
The student did as he was instructed, whereupon the teacher put his hands on the young man’s head and held him under the water.
Presently the student began to struggle.
The master held him under still.
A moment passed and the student was thrashing and beating the water and air with his arms.
