Fully Satisfied

In January 2018, a French supermarket chain unexpectedly slashed the price of Nutella by 70 percent. Chaos broke out in all the stores as customers snatched and purchased as many jars as they could carry. One manager resorted to handing out one per person, with a security guard looming over the shoppers.

I’m a fan of Nutella, so I understand. Of course, the sale came to an end—and all the fought-over Nutella soon disappeared.

What if the Nutella jars had been slashed in price and the Nutella never ran out?

Jesus offered a Samaritan woman water that He promised would never run out. He may have chosen water since the woman worked daily to bring water home. The conversation happened at a well, and Jesus guided a conversation that showed He could give her something more satisfying than the water she could scoop from the ground.

“Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again,” Jesus said, “but those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again.” Of course, the woman was stunned by what He said, and she asked for this water. (Read the full story in John 4; it’s so worth it.)

Jesus also offers this living water to every person who chooses to believe in God’s love. He satisfies our deepest hungers and thirsts.
