Today, in the sweltering, 100 degree heat, we sold lemonade with my son. The heat brings out the greatest thirst, but also the greatest generosity in people. The generous people who are searching for something to drink, touched by the cuteness of kids and the realworld practicality of a cardtable.
The thirst on a hot day is overwhelming. Two pitchers of lemonade lasted about an hour, and made about twenty-five big cups.
The thirst of the world is overwhelming. Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty." Everybody who drank our lemonade, although refreshed, got thirsty again. With so much thirst in the world, we point to the free drink of living water offered in Jesus Christ. Once that drink is truly taken, spiritual thirst is quenched.
As you see people drive past you this week, think of their spiritual thirst. Think of your own spiritual thirst, and how God has mercy on you and sits at the well of living water, ready for you to drink.
