<div class="SSN_title">"BROKEN CISTERNS"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Next to air drive, our thirst drive is the strongest drive we have. Water is essential for life. We take water for granted. Should our Public Works System fail, the first and primary concern would be to find a source of water. God's cry against Israel was...</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "THEY HAVE FORSAKEN ME, THE FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATER."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Living water was running water.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. A stream or river.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The fountain was the source of the stream.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The spring.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The place where it came out of the ground.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. There the water was in its purest state.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Jesus often referred to Himself as the water of life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. On the great day of the feast, He stood and cried, "If any man thirst..."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. His reference was to the spiritual thirst in every man.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. His method was to start with the physical which all understood and lead to the spiritual which so few understood.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. To the woman at the well in Samaria, He started talking about being thirsty.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. She could relate to that.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. He led her to the water that would end her thirst.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. The last invitation in the Bible is, "Let him that is athirst come, and drink of the water of life freely."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. That is the gospel the Bible proclaims - "God has provided for thirsty man through His Son Jesus Christ."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. God's complaint against Israel - "They have forsaken Me."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Incredible! In vs. 10, God challenges them to search the world to find people who have changed gods.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. People are devoted and faithful to their gods.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. But the irony is, they are not true gods.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "THEY HAVE HEWN OUT CISTERNS."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Man is instinctively religious.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He must live by some creed, philosophy or ideal.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He begins to carve out his own system.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Evolution, communism, humanism.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. These all have their creeds.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. They all demand faith - blind faith.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. They require devotion.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Philosophy - system of thought on God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. His god is the creation of his own mind.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">a. Hence it is limited to his own stupidity.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level6">b. Man, poor man, so ignorant in that...</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. The supreme good is pleasure (Epicureous).</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. The supreme good is power.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">4. The supreme good is knowledge (Socrates).</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. What is the common factor in each of these systems? They can't hold water.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The evolutionist must manufacture, or distort evidence. In many cases, conceal or destroy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. They cannot satisfy man's deepest needs.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. They will all of them leave you still thirsty.</div>
