Receive the Living Water!


 John, chapter four, tells the unforgettable story of Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman.  Through questions and answers, Jesus reveals Himself as God.  The woman is so amazed by Jesus' teachings and compassion that she rushes back to her village to them all that they too need to come and see Jesus.  On this text, William Weedon writes:

The woman leaves her water jar when she runs away to tell the people in town about Jesus.  Get it? She now has the living water! She shouts in the middle of town for anyone to hear, "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did.  Can this be the Christ?"  (John 4:29)
