Seek



Jhn 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." Rick Griffin, a famous surfer dude artist once painted this scene and very simply, in a very cool way, showing the Living Water. One could google this. I too wanted to explore the Living Water. But more importantly…the creativity in Britt’s sermon and of the Lord’s tact while on mission was astonishing: “The basis mode of operation for all mission is humility. Jesus does not walk into this interaction; seek to break down these barriers, by positioning Himself as a world wide leader of a revolution. Jesus steps into it having been rejected, (v1-3) making Himself a minority (v.4) being tired and thirsty. (v 6-7) Here is a profound theology of mission: Jesus humbles Himself actually to the point of needing, the Samaritan woman at the well.” Here we see Jesus strategize to save a soul, and to get people to hear his voice.  

This illustration depicts that Simon and Andrew had already left their boat behind as Jesus beckons James and John to follow. They immediately drop their nets.
