Every time I read this story in the Word I am struck with a new angle on it. It is so incredibly deep. What Jesus says to her is so life-giving, so gentle, so wonderful.
Some thoughts on the story, and an illustration of how the Word speaks to us on such a daily basis.
Last night I watched a documentary about the Illuminati. It "broke" the "secret" that the secret organizations think the messiah descended through Rachel, the mother of Joseph and Benjamin, instead of through Leah and Judah. "Rachel" in Hebrew sounds like "Grail" in English, and the whole theory gave rise to the "holy grail" we all hear so much about. The Grail was actually a stone purported to be the pillow of Jacob when he dreamed of the angels. All this could give rise to a possible anti-Christ with false lineage.
Today I read that the Samaritan woman was fetching water at Jacob's well, and the text said the region had been given to Joseph. Never noticed that before. The woman asked Jesus if He was greater than Jacob, then proceeded to grill him about current politics.
Jesus answered with an assurance that what He had was certainly for her too, not just the other guys...He showed her that indeed He was greater than Jacob. He lovingly called her to repentance.
Yes, Jesus is the answer for all of us.
She sort of mocks Him. "Where is your bucket?"
He answers,"Living water. Water that will totally satisfy, water that gives everlasting life."
Then He prophecies to her, a marvelous prophecy about those that will worship God in spirit and in truth, and that God Himself seeks those to do this!
It's all there.
Is God seeking you? Do you believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the One to Save?
The time is coming when the (small) remnant who stand alone on Christ and His Word will be rather insignificant in the whole picture of world. This I have come to believe. I think Satan is a master deceiver, and he's done an excellent (but sinister) job of drawing people away from the God of the Bible. He has presented a false Christ who winks at gay marriage, who is only love, who never condemns. That Christ is so popular today, even among Evangelicals. This is the spirit of anti-Christ.
Watch out. God seeks those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. Check yourself. Work out your salvation. Do you define your God or does your God define you?
Off to a busy afternoon.
