“The woman said, ‘I know that Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.’ Then Jesus declared, ‘I who speak to you am he.’”
John 4:25
History is filled with the records of division and conflict between cultures and races. Even in this passage, the Samaritan woman reminded Jesus that Jews did not associate with Samaritans (v. 9). Despite that, Jesus approached her and asked, “Will you give me a drink” (v. 7)?
Perhaps the woman’s curiosity was stirred. Maybe she sensed something different in Him. The need for water was common to both her and Jesus, regardless of nationality, so the door for meaningful dialogue was opened. He, of course, saw her deeper need and offered to fill the arid desert of her soul with an eternal spring welling up to eternal life. The many earthly relationships she’d experienced with men were hollow. Yet she continued the conversation with this Man who seemed to know all about her. Lovingly, Jesus revealed to her that He was the Messiah. From this moment on, her life would be changed!
When we feel unfulfilled and empty, sin entices us with temporary relief that doesn’t last. Meet Jesus instead and have that defining moment which will change your life forever.
