Jesus a Spring
John 4:11-12
The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?…


A little girl who had been instructed in a Sunday School in the country was very fond of her Bible. There was a spring at a small distance from her cottage, from which the family supplied themselves with water. Her father had noticed that she was sometimes longer than necessary in going to the spring. One day he followed her unperceived, and observed her set down the pitcher and kneel to pray. He waited till she arose, and then, coming forward, said, "Well, my dear, was the water sweet?" "Yes, father," said she; "and if you were but to taste one drop of the water I have been tasting, you would never drink of the waters of this world any more." "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him," says Jesus, "shall never thirst."
