We think of water as such a simple thing; we turn the tap on and it's there. We may feel the pain of thirst for a little while, but we always seem to be able to find water anywhere we go. Imagine if you couldn't quench your thirst, the pain and posible life threating state we would be in.

This year for the farmers, there has been a lot of talk about water and water restrictions. Imagine if there was no water to irrigate the crops. The crops can't grow without water and people's livelihoods would be at risk.

The Savior spent His earthly ministy in a time and place where people relied on wells for water. As He tought the woman at the well by saying that "whosover drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst" (John 4:14)

The Savior is teaching us that His gospel Quenches ones thirst Permanently. 

May we look at water a little differently and see the similarities to water and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
