John Chapter 4 tells a story of Jesus speaking with a woman that no one of his kind would dare associate himself with. She was a half breed– a dirty Jew, if you will. Yet Jesus, the Messiah, the HOLY one sat himself next to her, and started up a conversation. Not only did they talk, but he shared with her something that would change her life forever... He offered her eternal life.
The illustration he gave was simple. He tapped into her everyday life, and used the scenario they were living in– A well. Jesus told her that choosing Him would be like choosing water from a well that never went dry.
Now, the question isn't, "Did this woman understand the parable," but rather we should ask ourselves, "Do I understand the parable Jesus gave to me?" Jesus said that we are to be "salt and light" in the world. Salt to flavor and preserve the world around us. Light to show the way. But the funny thing about salt... is it's not just used to add flavor... it makes people thirsty, too.
Do our actions cause people to want Jesus, or turn away from Him...?
