40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” Matthew 10:40-42
Welcome the messenger. Receive the message.
We are dry thirsty creatures.
The message: there’s a cup of cold water for your soul.
Remember thirst? Hot, parched everywhere thirst.
Remember cool water trickling down, refreshing tongue and mouth, soothing an aching throat?
Aah! A cup of cold water is a marvelous thing.
It restores a dried, hurting body.
Welcome the messenger. Receive the reward.
Human souls thirst.
Parched, shriveled, disabled by sin.
Jesus is the LIVING supreme cup of cold water.
Only HE can quench the dry “thirst”of the soul.
Here’s your CUP of eternal life-giving “living” water.
