Bible Verse of the Day Saturday October 3rd 2020

John 4:11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?

Christ Jesus came to this earth as a human being through Abraham, Issac, and Jacob's genealogical line to the lost flock of Israel. However, He did not come to save the Jewish people only; He came as the Savior of the world, Jew and Gentile alike. Every human being was afforded the chance to drink from His "living Water" to obtain forgiveness of sin and life eternal.

In the opening months of His earthly ministry, the Jewish people's leaders, the Pharisees, and Sadducees had begun to resent Jesus. John the Baptist had introduced Jesus to the world as the Lamb of God, the Savior of the world, and many were following Jesus. Jesus did not immerse Himself in the popularity He was gaining, He chose to go back to Galilee, where He would be less prominent.

The long grueling walk from Jerusalem to Galilee ran through Samaria, and most Jewish people would avoid going through a Land they considered filled with counterfeit Jews. The Jews avoided any contact with the Samaritans, and Jewish men would never give a Samaritan woman a second glance, let alone carry on a conversation with her. Jesus did not avoid Samaria but walked the hot, dusty path that ran right through the dreaded land of Samaria.

When Jesus sat down at a well given by Jacob at Sychar about noon, the hottest part of the day, His disciples went into the city to procure some food. A woman from the village came out to draw water from the well and found Jesus sitting there. The fact that the woman was drawing her water in the hottest part of the day instead of the cool of the morning or late evening would indicate that she was an outcast from her community.

Jesus told her about a living water that she confused for physical water, asking Jesus how he was going to draw water without a rope and a bucket. She told Jesus that she knew the Messiah was coming that would reveal everything to them. Jesus said to her that she was speaking to the true promised Messiah.

When we began to focus our lives on the physical water instead of the spiritual living water, that is Christ Jesus; we lose a water that is the well-spring to eternal life spent with our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. God will provide for our every need and will each day supply our daily bread and water. The key to enjoying God's substantial strength, devoted love, and grace beyond human imagination is believing that He will provide for a daily bread this day and every day. The words that Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well are still in effect today and for eternity. When you drink of the living water, you will never thirst again, and it is the only life spring that leads to eternal life.
