Jesus Said
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
Jesus asked a Samaritan woman for a drink of water from the well. This totally broke the cultural rules of the day. Jesus told her (who had had five husbands) that if she had known who He was, she would have asked Him for water. What He would have given her would be “living water” or spiritual life. She left and told many who she thought Jesus might be. Many became believers.

Jesus Said
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:48
In life, we all fail and have sinned. Ask Jesus to help you to get sin out of your life. Ask Jesus to purify your life and empower you to live a life that is right in His eyes. Say “No!” to the old nature and “Yes!” to the new nature in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Said
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
Revelation 3:19
We will help guide people we love and care about if they go down a wrong spiritual path. The direction will be on spiritual issues that Jesus has biblically given direction on and not the colour of shirt or shoes that they wear.

John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
Mark 1: 6
John was wearing the clothing that the prophet Elijah wore and eating what poor people ate. He was sending a message to those around him by what he wore and ate. What message do you send to people who see you. When I walk and pass people on the street they often send me a message.
