The Elusive Holy Grail


The Holy Grail has been the feature of many writings and movies through the years. It was prominently featured in the story of King Arthur, Indiana Jones, and many others. Wikipedia has an interesting definition as well. Legend has it that anyone who drinks from it will live forever.

I think that sometimes, people focus too much on the tangible. In this instance, what is more important, the grail itself? Or the person who used the grail, the person of Jesus.

Let's look back at John 4:13-14, "Jesus answered and said to her, 'Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.'"
