Why is the woman at the well so important? (The Chosen in Israel)

We knew before we started writing that Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well would be the climax of Season One.
The story has so many beautiful layers, and Dallas and Rabbi Jason explored them at the actual location in Israel.

What's more amazing is that this woman was rejected in her community, and yet when she goes back to claim she had seen Messiah, everybody believed her. That's the power of holy Spirit!

[@toluwaniobayanworks]

Hmm. True.

[@flowesther7677]

Very true

[@gy5240]

They listened to her because she was probably not an adulterous women as shown in the series... She went through so many husbands because she could not have children and it was common to divorce a women quickly if she did not get pregnant. Other women would stay away from her because they were worried about her barrenness rubbing off on them. This scenario better explains why people believed her ..I learned this interpretation from those in the hebrew roots movement.

[@joyfpontanar]

Amen

[@Embrachu]

@@gy5240 unfortunately, "Hebrew-roots", or Messianics, as they are more commonly known, advocate observance of Torah, even though it's not required of believers. We are _justified_ through Christ...but also _sanctified_ by Christ (through the Holy Spirit). Messianics have a Christ+Torah viewpoint, and take great offense when you tell them that the Mosaic Law was merely a shadow of what was to come, in the new covenant Christ established. The only way the new covenant could be established was by making the first obsolete. Messianics claim Jesus only did away with the 'ceremony and ritual' of the law, but not Torah itself. Christ was the only one who could keep the righteous requirements of the law, and he was the only one who could satisfy it's penalty, to become our atonement sacrifice. Through Him, those righteous requirements have been _fully_ met in us; this is justification. Yet, he also promised to send us the Counselor, the Holy Spirit. He (the Spirit) speaks to us what he hears from Christ, and He alone is our guide through the day-to-day. There is no need for Torah observance, because we've already had those requirements fully met through Christ! Now, we listen to the Holy Spirit for guidance. It's the voice which keeps us abiding in Christ. There is no "license to sin", because we remain in Christ with the same faith we had at justification, and are progressively sanctified (made holy) by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I would recommend you seek an alternative source, other than Messianic/Hebrew-roots, and pray for proper guidance.

Jesus came ONLY for the lost sheep of Israel. There is a very good reason for him saying this. The Truth of the Bible is that Israel is a special people. A people that are chosen by God to be the vehicle of His blessings to all other nations. MANY, MANY people perceive this in the wrong way, which leads to confusion. This confusion opens the door for jealousy and pride. The teaching in this video is flawed and misleading. And how dare you switch from men teaching to women teaching... You know what you did. You are being called out for your trickery here. Vipers.

[@mikerutkowski7265]

You people are a prime example of how deceived believers twist the scripture in order to justify their misguided beliefs. Many women today are trying to justify female preachers and they often use this woman at the well as their example. I suggest you really read that John 4 scripture and you will find that Jesus did not use the woman at all. He simply told the woman about herself and then He told her who He was. Then all the woman did was tell others that she met a man who told her the all the things that she ever did and she stated, could this be the Christ? So just because the woman testified that a man told her about everything that she had done, woman today are insinuating that God used this woman to preach scripture and that is an outright lie. If anything this scripture is relating that the woman was a doubter. Look here: “The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He. ” ‭‭John‬ ‭4:25-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Jesus told her that He was the Christ but yet look what the woman stated to the men of her village. “The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” Then they went out of the city and came to Him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭4:28-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ She did not say that she met the Christ. She stated could this be the Christ as if she was unsure. This is an example of how wicked believers will twist the narrative of a scripture to coincide with their misguided and deceived beliefs.

And then Peter sees Abigail and Joshua on the roof and goes to tell them who is speaking - Abigail "Jesus of Nazareth" Joshua"We know Him" and Peter gives up! LOL Blessings!

[@mlauntube]

What church would she not be welcome in? Are you sure about what you said? Most churches have ministries for single mothers and marriage recovery for the divorce. The church has the same divorce rate as those with no faith. I've been a Christian for 34 years, been to many churches and never once experienced what you describe.

[@mlauntube]

Moreover, a woman can be in church fellowship and even working in ministry and in the middle of divorce, and she will still be welcome. Her pastor may even quote The Chosen episode of the woman at the well: "You were a woman of purity who was excited to be married, but he wasn't a good man. He hurt you, and it made you question marriage and even the practice of your faith." That is not even Biblical according to the principle of 1 Corinthians 5:2

[@mammabilbrey]

@@mlauntube I am so happy that you have found the Body of Christ to be so welcoming. Unfortunately that is not the case for everyone. The "church" is full of legalism and man-made rules just as it was in the first century. There are wonderful bodies of Christ opening up, but still many want parishioners "clean and healed" before acceptance. The healthy do not need a physician.

Give me Your love and compassion to see the hurt buried underneath the objections of those that don't know You. Those that have walked away from You.

This is the way that Jesus Called Paul , on the road to Damascus. This is the way He appeared to me. A college friend of mine became a Christian & proclaimed that he wouldn't pray for me because it was a waste of time & a waste of breath. But Jesus came into my bedroom one night, uninvited, & told me a horrible thing: that He wanted me to surrender my entire life into His hands. I argued with Him. Then I surrendered. Everything changed. When I repented & got out, He came in with love, joy , peace, gentleness, meekness, kindness & self control. New life, filled with the Holy Spirit. That was almost 40 years ago. I still love Him.

If he had not given Mary her ministry then we would not have women ministries today. They try to portray Jesus and Mary as more but the truth is that if he had not taught her the secrets of the kingdom, women today would not have a voice in society. Just as if the veil had not been split that we should still offer sacrifices for redemption. The new testament is all about change, and forgiveness, and sacrifice, and love. Noone seems to get the reason or importance of the woman at the well but you better believe that it is one of the most important stories of the bible. More should be said about this subject and I appreciate very much your insight on the matter.

Noni Burke Jennifer Cross 6 months ago Wow this song couldn’t have came out at a better time. I recently gave my life to the Lord and I started reading the Bible. As I read it, I found the story about the woman at the well. My heart was torn by the overwhelming grace and love that our Heavenly Father has for broken women like myself. I had been struggling with shame from my past and I didn’t even know the Bible spoke on this kind of love. I was amazed! Right after that, I started watching The Chosen and saw the episode of the woman at the well. And now this song... I truly believe God placed this song across my path for even more confirmation of His gracious love and forgiveness. Thank you for sharing it and allowing God to use you to spread His gospel. I pray for anyone else struggling with shame and brokenness. You are loved and God has a plan and purpose for you! Embrace His gentle love and forgiveness.

YES THAT IS SO TRUE, HOWEVER WE ARE TAUGHT AS A ROMAN CATHOLIC A DIVORCED PERSON CAN NOT TAKE THE SACRAMENTS, THEY CAN NOT REMARRY WHILST THEIR SPOUSE IS STILL ALIVE. IF THEY CHOOSE TO FORM A RELATIONSHIP AND RE-MARRY YOU ARE COMMITING ADULTERY. THAT RE- MARRIAGE IS VOID. IF YOUR PARTNER IS STILL ALIVE. YOUR RE- MARRIAGE CAN NOT BE PERFORMED WITHIN A R.C CHURCH AS IT IS A HUGE SIN IN THE EYES OF THE R C CHURH AND GOD. IFYOU STAY SINGLE AND HAVE A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP THAT IS ALSO A SIN. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAY'S LIKE IN "THE CHOSEN" GO SIN NO MORE, THE WOMAN AT THE WELL HAD FIVE MARRIAGES, WHEN JESUS ASKED HER "TO BRING HER HUSBAND" SHE REPLIED " HE IS NOT MY HUSBAND" JESUS THEN SAID "BECAUSE YOU SPOKE THE TRUE GO SIN NO MORE" IN OTHER WORDS HE KNEW SHE WAS NOT MARRIED TO THE MAN SHE WAS LIVING WITH SO HE SAID "GO AND SIN NO MORE". (GET MARRIED) STOP LIVING IN SIN. THIS IS THE TEACHINGS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH I'M NOT SAYING IT'S RIGHT OR WRONG.

[@RV-there-Yet]

By far, one of THE best illustrations God gives us, of His all forgiving, all consuming Love. To have been that woman, at that point in history is overwhelming to consider~brings a person to prayer & praise every time. So lovely.

[@ILPsalm98]

I have always loved this story. One of the most compelling things to me about the woman at the well was that when she realized that Jesus was Messiah, she left her water jar and immediately went to tell everyone. A water jar was valuable and important the women in this world. It would be unheard of for a woman to leave her water jar behind but scripture (John 4) says she did just that and John must have realized the importance of her leaving it, because he included the fact in his gospel. She met the living water, her savior, and her water jar was no longer of the utmost importance. Such a tiny detail but so much significance.

I lost count of the times this series made me shed tears. So blessed this show happened in my lifetime. Extremely excited for the next season. 😊🙏🏼

[@anitacain8574]

I can't get enough of The Chosen. I am so excited for Season 2. I am sharing with everyone and every way I know. Thank you Dallas and Team. God is good, all the time!

[@juliettesmoon]

The scene when she asks Jesus if he is Christ and he just nods. So powerful. One of the many times I cried throughout the season. I felt like I was right there with Him 🙌🙌 amazing performance by Johnathan

I Love Israel ❤️ Shalom ❤️ ! YESHUA IS MESSIAH (Isaiah 53) ! Greetings from Macedonia ❤️ !

[@kkgruver]

I love that Bible story and how they portrayed it in Chosen. A life can be changed forever by meeting Jesus!

[@anthonynorkus3917]

Two things: watch her face when Jesus says “I should have said please”. And watch her gasp when she looks up and asks “….and you know this because you are the Christ?” Her acting - voice inflections, facial expressions, etc - is truly inspired.

[@annh53]

The actress playing Photina is amazing.. She looks, sounds and acts like she just walked out of the pages of scripture. The Chosen casting department has done an incredible job of casting all the roles. Thank you for giving us quality programing that informs, challenges and encourages us.

[@martybarton2470]

that made me cry with joy bbecaasuse two and a half years ago i too was saved by Christ's undying love and acceptance of us where wee are when we accept. it changed my life.

[@carolwelstead2547]

“I’m going to tell everybody!” Love this! We should all be so excited to share the gospel.

Powerful & meaningful. I was in awe to actually see Jacob's Well. I feel overwhelmed & so thankful for this beautiful virtual tour. Many thanks for posting this inspiring video. 🕊️🕊️

[@josephinepaparoa4685]

I have grown in my faith and understanding of the scripture since watching this series. Keep up the great work.

[@lovingjesus]

My favorite seen so far. I can also relate. In my darkest hour Jesus made me feel special. Then He Supernaturally removed my guilt & shame Praise God!

[@sidpheasant7585]

Same happened to me. In a tiny element of return, I write with comfort and with the good news to people on KZbin. I've done it thousands of times since being Born Again. I was given one great chance to change (to go away and sin no more). I took it ... though I can't imagine why anyone would NOT do so...

[@sjsj4773]

This actress does such a good job!!

[@coolHandLuke830]

This, just like the woman caught in adultery, shows me how Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn the world but to save the world. Jesus called out this woman's sins. He would have been right and just to condemn her over them but instead loved her and used her to spread his message of repentance and love. It also shows me that Jesus didn't call the righteous or the qualified. He made righteous and qualified those he called.

[@shyamsam9228]

I'm very hungry to watch all next episodes of the choosen one.. It's really Holy Spirit leads the choose one... Tq lord for Great scenes... Ilove Jovial character of Jesus Christ of Nazareth....

[@TheChosenSeries]

Glad to hear you're hungry for more, Shyam! And just to let you know our show is called "The Chosen", not to be confused with the other show out there called "The Chosen One"!

[@shyamsam9228]

This is my favorite story in the Bible, it’s inspiring to me. You guys nailed it on the head! I teared up! Phenomenal acting ! Praise the Lord!

[@gettingstronger2436]

I love how Jesus broke down barriers. I love how he loved everyone even people who were considered outcasts. They weren’t outcasts to Jesus. They were loved and are still loved.

Wonderful message that is as fitting these days as back then, maybe even more! Love the acceptance shown by Jesus to all of us no matter what 💗💓💗💓❤️

Even with just the parts put into that video, I can see that Vanessa DeSilvio does an exquisite job as Photina.

[@jiyageorge639]

Everytime i watch this scene, my eyes well-up, remembering the fact that no one is rejected by the Messiah.. ❤️ Dallas and his team has done a wonderful wonderful wonderful job.. I feel like to run and shout out to the world to watch The Chosen, just like the samaritan women did, when she realized who Jesus was..❤️😇

My Serbian Orthodox priest spoke on this several weeks ago, the sermon was exceptional and explained many of the historical aspects of this story. My CHRIST lives, HE is my way, truth, and life, blessings to all.

[@suehorley6059]

Thank you, my life was similar to the woman at the well, Jesus healed me, mind, body and soul, I am finishing the book God ask me to write to win souls for the Kingdom of heaven ♡Thank you, so much for sharing the most beautiful love this World has ever known ~♥~

[@georginaesposo5166]

One of my most favorite scenes in The V=Chosen! ! Jesus id sooo intentional. He knows us personally and intimately.

[@SonshineLady7]

This is the story that I can most relate to RL and it had me in tears - well, more like LOTS of tears at the end. I asked Jesus to be my Savior at age 12, but was not raised in a Christian home so had to find my way through "churchianity". I have always wanted the Lord but was bound up in "I'm not "good enough" and my walk with the Lord has been hit and miss, different churches, different doctrinal teachings in each plus I live with depression & anxiety and have always felt condemnation. For those reasons I've never had peace/assurance about my salvation. My life has included many, many things for which I am so ashamed and was sure God didn't want me or want me back; it terrified me to think I would go to Hell. When Jesus began telling the woman at the well her history and how she'd been hurt through life, I lost it emotionally, then was rejoicing at the end. Now when the enemy tries to say, "God doesn't want you - you've done xyz" - the next thought I hear now is, "I know what you've been through. I know how you've been hurt and wanted to be pure then how your first marriage was," etc. God bless you for this scene and THANK YOU!!!

[@regisnyder]

I finally watched the last episode of season 1 this past weekend; and it brought me to tears with that scene. Plus, the scene where He tells Simon’s wife He SEES her! Very powerful!

[@andreamatthews8907]

Such an important message especially with the racial tensions happening in the US currently. Love The Chosen and the impact it is making. It truly brings the Good News to life!

[@Richie016]

Christ's wise counsel & holy presence had set people free of captivity of sin & death.

[@error60091]

Such a convincing, powerful scene (among many other scenes in this series, of course).. what I really love about this though is how Jesus literally turns the full range of the Samaritan woman's feelings--her anger, contempt, utter despair and denial--into healing and joy, which finally free her to proclaim His name... as many viewers have said, this show really brings the Scriptures to life... the Chosen weaves the verses we know so well into dialogue that pushes the story forward and adds to the realism of the characters... I've watched this season twice already and will keep watching it until Season 2 is out!

[@sotubooluwatosin4391]

I don't know how you guys do it but The Chosen is the most amazing series I've ever seen

[@ConstantineJoseph]

Incredible, history coming to life! 2000 years, the ancient era and yet the truth of Jesus continues to bring us to wonder and amazement. Simple and yet divine.

[@theformerthings6308]

God saved me from suicide as well the homosexual lifestyle back in June. He has called me by name, and I just binged The Chosen, and I felt closer to Him after watching this. THANK YOU for this series, this was honest and led by God. I can feel it in my spirit. I pray that this show reaches whomever it needs to!! This was truly a blessing!! THANK YOU for everyone involved with The Chosen. Wow. 😭🙌💙
