I Can’t Get No Satisfaction

John 4:13-14 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Icebreaker – You can choose to play this song if you would like. Or even better just start singing it.

What is something that brings us an enormous amount of satisfaction?

Satisfaction is one of the Rolling Stones most well known and popular song. It is a song with overtones to sex, anti-commercialism, and an overall dissatisfaction with the world around the singer. Mick Jagger yelled that he couldn’t get no satisfaction and in reality he couldn’t. He was fed up with the rock star lifestyle at the time and at the time the status quo. We live in a society where satisfaction is desired quite heavily. Satisfaction through our food, entertainment, work lives, money and fame. Unfortunately, satisfaction usually proves empty and fleeting. Just like Mick Jagger many of us have looked for satisfaction in the wrong places. There is greater satisfaction out there. Something that will quench it and never have to refill again. Where this world only is momentary and satisfaction is fleeting, Jesus provides us with living water to satisfy us. We seek satisfaction from God Himself. He is eternal and the satisfaction that He supplies is also eternal. This is not to say we can’t enjoy ourselves anymore. God created us to have recreation, to enjoy ourselves when we do things. However, our deep satisfaction, our deep meaning and our lives should rely upon God. He is the only one that can truly Get Us Satisfaction. Now if only Mick Jagger would figure that out.
