Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.(John 4:10 KJV)
Had the woman at the well known the gift of God and that she was talking to the one who could give it she would quit arguing and start asking.C.S.Lewis wrote:
"We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinate joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased"
Jesus said God has a gift, something that satisfies now and forever, and he is the one who gives it out.
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.(John 4:14 KJV)
Jesus give me that gift so I don't even want to go to puny wells for refreshment! (John 4:15)-fal
