Living Water

Living Water

 

When I think about Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman at the well, several things cross my mind. The story is found in John 4. At that time, the Jews and Samaritans did not mingle together. The woman was amazed when Jesus asked her for a drink. She seemed to be comfortable talking to Jesus, until He told her that she had been married 5 times and was not living with another man. She realized very quickly there was something special about this man. What I love about this story is this; as sinful as this woman was, Jesus offers her living water. He offers her a new life. He offers her eternal life. Jesus Christ gives us chances and hope. By the way, I do not think he ever received that drink of water.
