This morning I am reminded of three verses from John's Gospel that I used to memorise and keep in mind many years ago. Each of these memory verses carry a spiritual truth essential for disciples of the Anointed One.
They are verses 14, 24 and 34 from John chapter 4, as shown below:
- John 4:13-14, 24, 34 RSV Revised Standard Version
- 13-14 . . . “Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
- 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
- 34 . . . “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
Brothers and Sisters in the Anointed One, let us keep these three memorable verses in our hearts. Let us go to our Lord Iesus everyday to receive living water from Him, so that our spirits may never thirst. Let us worship God our Father in Heaven in spirit and in the truth that He is the Only True God (John 17:3). And let us follow the example of our Lord Iesus when He was on earth, to take the will of God and the completion of His work like food in our lives.
