auditorium helped Knox Its Centennial lost June I seen quite a changes over the past years 1 tl very very kind to me We had a tot of good times In the Clergy Commentsr- The water of life Rev Donald Gorrle Avenue Baptist Church Though Jesus often addressed huge crowds during His earthly ministry He was never happier than when He was conversing with needy Individuals Take for instance Hie talk with the Samaritan woman as recorded In John s Gospel chapter Jesus and His disciples were travelling from Jerusalem to Galilee He went through Samaria though this was not the usual route Arriving s well at the noonhour Jesus sent His disciples into town to get food While they were away a woman came out to the well to draw water Before long being thirsty Jesus asked her for a drink Soon He was sharing with her the fact that If she knew who He was she would Him and He would give her living water that which alone could satisfy the thl ratings of her inner heart When the woman expressed a desire for the gift but hesitated to ask who He was Jesus made a further request Go call your husband To which she replied I have no husband How startled she must have been when this perfect stranger began to reveal the fact that He knew about her tangled matrimonial affairs A series of unhappy marriages and her present common law arrangement had left her without any true Inner joy A life of selfish pleasureseeking had left an empty void within Embarrassed by the knowledge that Jesus knew all about her the woman Bought to change the subject She tried to engage In a discussion of the relative merits of the Samaritan and Jewish places of worship Jesus simply stated that the important matter was not where but how She was then prompted to say When Christ comes He will have the answer to all our questions To her amazement Jesus then revealed His true identity What a transformation began to take place In her life this truth started to register In her heart The old life with its selfseeking is put aside There is a new joy In living that increased as the days went by With It came a desire to share her new found joy with others She began telling her townsmen of the One she had met at the well and urged them to talk to Him themselves Soon they began to share her joy There Is a message here for each one of us We live In day of changing circumstances but some things remain unchanged It is still true that real Inner peace Is not found In a round of selfish Following our own desires without consideration of others leads only to disillusionment and despair It la still true that God has made us for Himself The Jesus who said He who has seen me seen the Father still Invites us to know and share the inner peace and joy that only He can give May we truly know Him whom
