John W. Schoenheit Quotes
Since Most Houses Today Have Running Water, The Ease With Which Most Americans Can Give Water To A Guest Obscures The Point That Everyone In The Biblical Culture Understood: "cold Water" Came Only From The Town Well Or Cistern Because Water In Jars At Home Warmed Up Very Quickly In The Heat. Giving A Cup Of Cold Water Meant Inconveniencing Yourself And Walking To The Town Well Carrying A Container, Perhaps Waiting In Line To Draw The Water, Lifting The Water Up Out Of The Ground, And Then Carrying The Water Back To The House - All So Someone Could Quench His Thirst. The Fact That Christ Connects Giving Cold Water With Rewards To Be Received In The Future Is A Powerful Testimony To The Value Of Even The Most Seemingly Mundane Good Works In The Eyes Of God.
