BIBLE STUDY- "THE SAMARITAN WOMAN" #bible #jesus #biblestudy #gospelofjohn
Soon enough she came, for whom the Master was waiting.
Jesus had come to seek and save the lost, and that was what she was, lost in the arid wilderness of sin. He longed to offer her the ‘Living water’ that only He could give her, so with that in mind He struck up a conversation with her and asked her for a drink of water for He was thirsty. Needless to say, she was shocked that He, being a man, and more importantly a Jewish man would speak to her, she blurted out, “How is it that you a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?”
Coming straight to the point, Jesus said, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘give me a drink’, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water.”
Jesus wanted to create a curiosity in her, and an expectation as well. He probably thought she would say, ‘So who are You? and what is this gift of God? why should I ask you for living water? and what is this living water anyway?’
He knew that it would be a long-winded process but He succeeded in getting her attention with the prospect of getting “living water.”
