DAY #2 OF THE 7 DAY BIBLE SCRIPTURE CHALLENGE I AM ASKING Annette Ramos & Jacqueline LovinNard Mobley TO JOIN FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS POST A SCRIPTURE OR PASSAGE & INVITE 2 PEOPLE TO JOIN EACH DAY!!! CHRIST SHOWED HIS LOVE BY DYING FOR US; WE SHOW OURS BY LIVING FOR HIM!! LEAVING THINGS BEHIND, THOUGH, IS NOT ALWAYS A BAD THING. IN JOHN 4, WE READ ABOUT A WOMAN WHO HAD COME TO DRAW WATER @ A WELL... BUT AFTER SHE ENCOUNTERED JESUS THAT DAY, HER INTENT SUDDENLY CHANGED... LEAVING HER WATER POT BEHIND, SHE HURRIED BACK TO TELL OTHERS WHAT JESUS HAD SAID TO HER (VV.28-29)... EVEN HER PHYSICAL NEED FOR WATER PALED IN COMPARISON TO TELLING OTHERS ABOUT THE MAN SHE HAD JUST MET... PETER & ANDREW DID SOMETHING SIMILAR WHEN JESUS CALLED THEM... THEY LEFT THEIR FISHING NETS (WHICH WAS THE WAY THEY EARNED THEIR LIVING) TO FOLLOW JESUS (MATTHEW 4:18-20)... & JAMES & JOHN LEFT THEIR NETS, BOATS, & EVEN THEIR FATHER WHEN JESUS CALLED THEM (VV.21-22)... OUR NEW LIFE OF FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST MAY MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE THINGS BEHIND, INCLUDING THOSE THAT DONT BRING LASTING SATISFACTION... WHAT WE ONCE CRAVED CANNOT COMPARE WITH THE LIFE & LIVING WATER THAT JESUS OFFERS!!! #THE #BIBLE #IS #TO #A #THIRSTY #SOUL #WHAT #WATER #IS #TO #A #BARREN #LAND!!!
