Sermon Illustrations

She has used up husbands the way each of us uses up unsatisfactory water. We keep trying all these ways to cure our souls. We try this self-help book. We try that therapist. We try this drug. We try that drink. We try this husband. We try that wife. But, ultimately, we have no husband. Jesus knows that we have no husband. Jesus knows that our searching has been fruitless. Our well is dry. [The Very Rev. Samuel G. Candler, “Honey, You Better Believe Hs Is the Messiah!” John 4:3-42, February 24, 2008, Day 1 Ministries]
