My name's Marcus Mack. I'm a vicar in the Church of England

On a hot summer's day, a woman came to a well to quench her thirst
0:15
A man who was there asked her for a drink. After a brief conversation, he made an outrageous claim
0:22
He said, everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst
0:30
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life

Life can sometimes feel like going from one physical well to another
0:43
as we try to quench our spiritual thirst, but always feeling unsatisfied
0:49
Going from one purchase to another, pursuing that next experience, that next relationship, that next thrill, consuming and consuming, trying to fill our
0:59
lives with what we think will quench unfulfilled desire. C.S. Lewis wrote with great insight when
1:08
he said, if we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most
1:14
probable explanation is that we were made for another world. That man making that outrageous
1:22
claim was Jesus Christ. He was from another world and he promised to quench our spiritual thirst
1:30
satisfying our deepest desires
