二、关于喜乐和满足
除了安息之外，还可以用喜乐和满足的需要来传福音。关于这点，你可以用约翰四章十三至十四节：‘凡喝这水的，还要再渴；人若喝我所赐的水就永远不渴；我所赐的水，要在他里头成为泉源，直涌到永生。’有一种人总觉得不满足，总觉得人生是虚空的。人的财物可以增加，但人的满足却不能增加。钱财、儿女、朋友等，都不能让人得满足。
世界总是虚空的。人没得着时，想得着；人得着了，很快又渴了。世界上的人没有得着主之前，一直追求满足。但人一得了满足，不过几日又完了，又渴了。就好像小孩子一样，没有玩具时，要得玩具；一旦得了玩具，又不要了。世界所能给人的一切，不过使人暂时满足而已；你喝了总要再渴。就像这个撒玛利亚妇人一样，已经有过五个丈夫，还是不满足。正如主耶稣所说的，‘凡喝这水的，还要再渴！’
你讲过之后，要请弟兄们作见证说，他们信主之后，就像喝了活水，里头有了真实的满足，不再觉得干渴了。你用这条路传福音，就是要给人造出需要喜乐、需要满足的感觉；就是要给人看见别人有喜乐，但他不喜乐。这样，他就觉得有需要了。我们把喜乐的人摆在不喜乐的人中间，他们就要羡慕喜乐了。我们要这样传福音。但是我们必须自己先喝足，先因主得活水、得喜乐，这样才能让人有需要的感觉。

How to Create a Sense of Need (2) — John 4:13-14
For this point, you can use John 4:13–14: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst. But the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” There are certain men who always feel unsatisfied and find life to be vain. A person’s possessions may increase, but their satisfaction does not. Money, children and friends – none of these can truly satisfy a person.
The world is always in vain. When people don’t yet have something, they desire it. But once they get it, they soon thirst again. Before men have the Lord, they constantly seek satisfaction. But even if they feel satisfied for a short time, it quickly fades, and they thirst again. It’s just like children – when they don’t have a toy, they want it; but once they have it, they soon lose interest. Everything the world offers only provides temporary satisfaction. Whoever drinks of it will thirst again. This is just like the Samaritan woman, who had already had five husbands and was still not satisfied. Just as the Lord Jesus said: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again!”
After sharing this passage, you should invite brothers to testify that after believing in the Lord, it was like drinking living water – they experienced true inner satisfaction and were no longer thirsty. When you use this approach to preach the gospel, you are helping people realize their need for joy and satisfaction. You help them see that others have joy, but they themselves do not. Then they will begin to feel a need. When we place joyful men among those who lack joy, the latter will begin to envy that joy. This is how we should preach the gospel. But we ourselves must first be well supplied – we must first drink the living water from the Lord and gain joy, so that others may feel their own need.
