1 | What about the woman at the well in Jn 4 | John 4:18 | Emmaus | 110037 | ||
TommyS, In addition to the two earlier posts to which I referred you, consider these thoughts. Jesus coming to "Jacob's well" is remenicient of the fact that the wives of Isaac, Jacob and Moses's wives were met at wells. ( Gen 24:10-67; 29:1-30; Ex 2:15-21). In this case it is Jesus who comes to a well looking for His bride (the Church). It is at "Jacob's (Israel's) well" representing the Jews, but in Samaria, representing the Gentiles. Both Jews and Gentiles will be part of Christ's covenant bride, the Church. (John 3:99; Rev 21:2,9; 22:17). Take careful note also of verses 13-15 and 28 about water and the water jar. In a moral sense the water of the water jar represents the fallen desire of man that draws pleasure from the dark wells of the world, but is never satisfied. When she is converted to Christ, the Samaritan woman, "left her water jar" leaving behind the desires of the world held in our earthen vessels (2 Cor 4:7)to follow a new way of life and be filled with a treausre more satisfying than mere water, but rather by grace which is described by Jesus as "living water." ( John 4:14; 7:37-39) Keep in mind also the story of the wedding at Cana (John 2) where Jesus transformed water into wine, which happened not long after Jesus was baptized in water(John 1), both happening shortly before this other water story.

Emmaus, pray tell, with all the times I have heard a sermon concerning the "woman at the well", HOW come I have never heard a message such as you just presented to the world? Thank you, Emmaus, for ONCE again going above and beyond the extra mile. I am truly grateful for the additional imput. IF I were a pastor, I know what the next six of so sermons would cover. :) That is a lot of meat. I am going to print that out and stick it in my Bible to munch on for awhile. Thanks for the "delicious" spiritual feast. TommyS |

Emmaus, I'm not sure WHICH email address is yours. Could you please advise this computer illiterate. :) And, please be patient with my response, because as the week-end quickly approaches, I start "running here and yon". TommyS |
