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.
