July & August 2017
A Few weeks ago on our Cleveland Mission Trip, I was drawn to a
passage in John 4 where Jesus challenges all social and religious norms
and taboos by having a conversation with a Samaritan woman. In the
course of the conversation Jesus opens up his reply with 4 words: “IF YOU
ONLY KNEW.”
In verse 10 Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and
who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living
water.”
I wonder how many times Jesus responds to us “IF YOU ONLY KNEW.” If
you only knew: How close you were to falling or failing? How you quit
praying when God just begins to answer? How you worry and fret and
yet peace and deliverance is just beyond the horizon? How you forget
this world is not your true home and the best is yet to come?
As a network of Churches called the Santee Baptist Association, may we
look with passion and enthusiasm to the future for we never know what
lies ahead.
IF YOU ONLY KNEW!!!!
