THE QUEST FOR SATISFACTION. PART 3. PPPS. SESSION 420.
My people have committed two evils they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:13
SATISFACTION IS OF ONE OF THE CORE NEEDS OF HUMANS. WE ARE ALL BEINGS, DESIGNED TO BE SATISFIED. WHEN PEOPLE BEGIN TO LOSE THE SENSE OF FULFILLMENT AND SATISFACTION IN WHATEVER THEY DO, THEY BEGIN TO DIE. ONE OF THE MEAN REASONS WE GIVE OUR HEARTS TO THE LORD IS BECAUSE WE ASSUME, HE can ANSWER THE QUESTION OF OUR DISSATISFACTION. SATISFACTION DOES NOT JUST COME THROUGH WHAT WE DO BUT THROUGH WHAT WE'VE DISCOVERED.
THOSE WHO SEEK SATISFACTION THROUGH SOMETHING THEY DO OR DESIRE TO BECOME OFTEN FIND THEMSELVES DISAPPOINTED, AND THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE FULFILLMENT DOES NOT JUST BECOME VIA ACHIEVEMENT; ACHIEVEMENT IS BYPRODUCT OF SATISFACTION. THE CONVERSATION JESUS HAD WITH THE SAMARITAN WOMAN IS PREGNANT WITH THE ISSUES AROUND HUMAN SATISFACTION WHICH WE ALL NEED TO CAREFULLY ADDRESS ESPECIALLY IN THIS SEASON OF THE END OF DAYS. THIS MESSAGE SEEKS TO EXAMINE THE MATTER AROUND SATISFACTION AND HOW WE CAN TRULY FIND SATISFACTION.
John 4:7-18
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. ) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” 16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” 17 “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
