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." John 4:10 NIV
One of the first things in this clip that strikes me as I watch it is the desperation of the slaves as they clamor for water. It becomes the most important thing to them. This type of need arises out of deep suffering. They are thirsty and the only thing that will quench their thirst is water. We thirst in our spirit. The life of our soul is missing the vital item to keep us alive. Without it we become dead. The only thing that gives our soul life is Christ. So as we meet the world we also run to the thing that will keep us alive. Many times though we drink of the wrong thing and we don't find fulfillment. I hope that we can drink of the water of life and no longer thirst!
