hello

The Bible says that God's love for us is not based on what we do or don't do, but rather how we respond to His grace and His Word1. God knows everything about us, but this should bring us hope because He still loves us2. The Bible also says that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord3. There are many Bible verses that talk about God's love for us, including Proverbs 4:1-27, Psalm 9:10, and John4.

The Transformative Encounter at Jacob's Well A Journey Through John 4

"Breaking Barriers: The Samaritan Woman's Encounter with Jesus"

Introduction: The encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, as described in John 4, is one of the most striking narratives in the New Testament. It’s a story of breaking barriers, offering hope, and redefining worship. Let’s explore this epic and transformative story.

The Path Through Samaria: Jesus’ decision to travel through Samaria was unconventional. Jews often took longer routes to avoid Samaria due to longstanding hostilities. However, Jesus’ journey through Samaria underscores His mission to reach out to all, breaking societal barriers.

A Surprising Request: At Jacob’s well, Jesus asks a Samaritan woman for a drink. This request is startling because Jews typically avoided Samaritans, and men didn’t publicly speak to women. The woman’s shock is evident as she questions why a Jew would ask her for a drink.

Offering Living Water: Jesus tells the woman about "living water," a metaphor for eternal life and spiritual satisfaction. She misunderstands at first, thinking it’s literal water that will quench her thirst permanently. Jesus explains that the water He offers leads to eternal life.

Revealing Knowledge: Jesus then reveals His knowledge of her personal life, telling her about her five previous husbands and her current relationship. This revelation astonishes her, making her realize that Jesus is no ordinary man but a prophet.

Discussing Worship: The woman brings up a contentious issue about the correct place of worship. Jesus’ response is revolutionary: true worshipers will worship God in spirit and truth, not confined to any specific location. This teaching emphasizes a sincere, heartfelt connection with God.

The Messiah Revealed: When the woman speaks of the coming Messiah, Jesus reveals His identity, saying, "I, the one speaking to you—I am he." This rare and explicit revelation of His messiahship highlights the importance of this encounter.

Impact on the Community: The woman’s transformation leads her to share her experience with her townspeople. Her testimony prompts many Samaritans to believe in Jesus. Jesus stays with them for two days, and even more people come to faith, acknowledging Him as the Savior.

Conclusion: The story of the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well teaches us about breaking down societal barriers, the need for spiritual fulfillment, and the essence of true worship. Jesus’ love and salvation are offered to all, regardless of their background or past.

The Man at the Well

The sun shone high in the sky as its rays warmed the earth to an almost unbearable temperature. It was noon, about the time for her to gather her bucket and head to the well to draw water. Everyone in the town thought it odd for her to draw water at the well at such a time. The midday heat made the chore much harder so the women would go in the early hours of the day. But not her. She gathered herself and started the long trek to the well.

As she walked, she allowed her mind to wander. Perhaps that would distract her from the permeating heat. She wasn’t very well liked in this town. She could hear the whispers when she walked by, and she felt the stares that followed her everywhere she went. It used to bother her but now, she’d grown immune to the treatment she received from the people of the town. She chose to simply ignore them and avoided being with the towns people as much as possible. It’s not like she was welcomed anyway. But sometimes, when she just couldn’t block out the whispers, she’d hear phrases like, “What a shameful wrench,” “Does she have no honor or dignity,” or “She’s good for nothing.” And when those words reached her ears, she felt a sting of hurt pierce her heart. No matter how hard she tried to not let the words affect her, she still fell prey to the town’s degrading comments.

Was it so wrong for her to want to be happy? To yearn for a fulfilling love? That’s all she wanted, and if one man couldn’t give it to her, then she would move on to the next. It made sense in her mind. She knew there was an emptiness in her heart—her soul—that someone had to be able to fill. That’s why the hole was there in the first place, right?

She trudged on down the road, droplets of sweat forming above her brow and lining the back of her neck. Of course, she despised the heat. But this was the only time of the day she would be alone at the well, away from the scrutiny of others. So she bore with the heat, valuing the solitude more than the beaming rays of sun on her back.

But today was different. As she neared the well, she saw a man seated by it looking exhausted as he held his hand to his forehead to shield his eyes from the sun. She didn’t recognize him as a man from the town and figured he must have been a traveler. As she took more steps toward him, he shifted his gaze and his eyes met her curious ones. She held her breath for a second—those deep brown eyes were so warm and welcoming. She quickly averted her eyes to the ground, not wanting to come off as rude.

“Hot day out, isn’t it?”

He had to be speaking to her. There was no one else around but the two of them. She took a quick glance up at him, making absolutely sure that he was speaking to her. She nodded, gaze to the ground once again.

“Indeed, it is.” She answered politely.

“It’s an odd hour for someone to be drawing water from the well. Wouldn’t it be more prudent to draw water during the cool of the day?” The man said.

“I prefer to draw water at this time.” She answered plainly, hoping he wouldn’t pry for details. He was obviously a foreigner; she could tell from his accent. And she didn’t feel the need to share her life story with a stranger. She placed her bucket down by the side of the well, preparing to draw water. Since the man had already started a cordial conversation, she decided to carry it on.

“Where are you traveling from, sir? I know you’re not from here.”

“I have come from Judea. My companions and I are on our way to Galilee. They’ve gone into town to find food and drink.” The man answered.

She stopped her work to look at him now, one eyebrow slightly raised. Her suspicions were right. This man was a Jew. She focused her attention back to the well, lowering her bucket to draw water.

“They have been gone for quite some time now. Would you be so kind as to give me a drink of water?” The man asked. She pulled her full bucket up from the well, resting it on the well’s walls.

“How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” she asked. She knew the social laws between Jews and Samaritans—she grew up learning that they were forbidden to speak or interact with one another. In the eyes of a Jew, Samaritans were dirty and not worth the time or energy.

To her surprise, the man smiled. He stared at her with an intensity she had never felt before.

------------------------------------------------------------

It’s been a while since I’ve done some creative writing. The story isn’t complete, of course. If you didn’t know, it’s in the point of view of the Samaritan woman from John 4.

I currently have more time on my hands so maybe you’ll see more pieces. I’m definitely rusty though. Need more practice. Haha.

Have you ever felt like a piece of you was missing?

Maybe you tried turning to distractions to fill a void, and yet, you still feel incomplete. We have a reminder for you today. Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” - John 4:13-14 We may be content with earthly distractions for a little while, but we can never be fully satisfied by the things of the world. Spend your time in the Word getting to know Jesus, and you will be filled with living water.
