A Thirsty Savior and a Thirsty Sinner

In John 3 the Lord Jesus encountered a woman at a well. All the earthly, physical, and even religious things had left this woman dissatisfied. She had a deep thirst within her, and thus, the Lord offered her the living water. You may know this story, but have you ever considered that the Lord was thirsty, too? He asked the woman for a drink of water. “However, it is very strange to note that neither of them ate or drank, yet both of them were satisfied” (p. 20). How could this be? What happened to meet not only the need of the woman but also the need of the Lord Jesus Himself? In this booklet compiled from Life-study of John, Witness Lee considers these verses and answers these questions.
