The Christ Quarter
Harvest Time
In our scriptures today we see an unknown woman who has chosen to get a bucket of water from the local well at a time when she can expect that no one will be there, about six in the morning. She is a Samaritan, a known adulteress and somewhat of an outcast in her own group. As a Samaritan she was viewed as better than a Gentile but not at all on the same level as the Jews. Because of this, the Samaritans and the Jews had a deep dislike for each other and rarely interacted.
Despite this we see Jesus, who is a Jew at this time, approach the woman and speak with her. Jesus the Jew and Jesus the man broke protocol when he did this and, by so doing, showed us all the Jesus, our risen savior, can use anyone to bring people to Him.
Today we see this in very clear, understandable terms that we can all understand. This is one of the things I like and enjoy about the Bible. The Bible is consistent, it proves itself and it’s not very complicated. It is extremely deep but not very complicated.
So what did this unnamed woman at the well do?
