John 4:5 He came into Sychar, a Samaritan village that bordered the field Jacob had given his son Joseph.
John 4:6 Jacob's well was still there. Jesus, worn out by the trip, sat down at the well. It was noon.
John 4:7 A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?"
John 4:8 (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)
John 4:9 The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, "How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" (Jews in those days wouldn't be caught dead talking to Samaritans.)
John 4:10 Jesus answered, "If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water."
John 4:11 The woman said, "Sir, you don't even have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get this 'living water'?
John 4:12 Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to us?"
John 4:13 Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again.
John 4:14 Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst - not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life."
John 4:15 The woman said, "Sir, give me this water so I won't ever get thirsty, won't ever have to come back to this well again!"
John 4:16 He said, "Go call your husband and then come back."
John 4:17 "I have no husband," she said.
John 4:18 You've had five husbands, and the man you're living with now isn't even your husband. You spoke the truth there, sure enough."
John 4:19 "Oh, so you're a prophet!
John 4:20 Well, tell me this: Our ancestors worshiped God at this mountain, but you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place for worship, right?"
John 4:21 "Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem.
John 4:22 You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day. God's way of salvation is made available through the Jews.
John 4:23 But the time is coming - it has, in fact, come - when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter.
John 4:24 God is sheer being itself - Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."
John 4:25 The woman said, "I don't know about that. I do know that the Messiah is coming. When he arrives, we'll get the whole story."
John 4:26 "I am he," said Jesus. "You don't have to wait any longer or look any further."
John 4:28 The woman took the hint and left. In her confusion she left her water pot. Back in the village she told the people,
John 4:29 "Come see a man who knew all about the things I did, who knows me inside and out. Do you think this could be the Messiah?"
John 4:30 And they went out to see for themselves.

Where you there when they crucified the Lord? O what a pain He suffered, carry all our burdens on His back. Where you there when they laid Him on the tomb? He died for you and for me to give us life eternal in heaven above. Jesus knows everything we are going through. He knew the woman had five husbands and the one she was living with was not her husband. He forgave her and told her the truth about salvation coming from God. Wonderful story. Beautiful testimony of what Jesus can do to the lives of those who seek Him with all their heart.

Love reading Gods word every morning in my life. Sometimes I read it at night where Jesus speaks down deep to my soul. This beautiful story about the Samaritan woman at the well touched my heart and still touching me when I read it. Blessed be the Lord our God who believes, trusts and waits for Him day and night.

Put your trust in the Lord and in His word. It teach us what to do and what to say when an unbeliever comes to ask eternal questions that will affect their life. Take comfort in Gods word. It will show you the way in which to walk and live and at the end of everything else in the world, we shall see the smiling face of our dear Savior and Lord. Jesus is waiting for you and for me at the gates of heaven. Blessed be His holy name now and forever more. Amen
