Big Idea
When Jesus offers Himself as living water, we cannot remain neutral. His invitation exposes our divided hearts and calls us to honest thirst and true faith.
Law: We judge by appearances, follow the crowd, and protect our assumptions, resisting the truth when it disrupts our control.
Gospel: Jesus stands in the middle of our confusion and still calls, “Come.” He gives living water, the Spirit’s life, to all who trust Him.
