MY RESPONSE
Today's reading: John 3-4
"Then Jesus told her, I am the Messiah!" John 4:26 NLT
The scene is this...
The woman has met a man at the well, one who offers Living Water, one who knows her--inside and out.
In her attempt at small talk, and to quite possibly distract from the 'husband issue' he has brought up, she discusses religion and the anticipation of the long awaited Messiah.
Then Jesus tells her, I am the one you've been looking for. Your whole life.
The One who will fill the empty places in her heart.
The One who will accept her just as she is and help her become more.
The One who will never leave her.
The One who will release her from the bondage of sin.
And she believes him. She believes him so entirely that she leaves her water jug and goes to tell the whole town.
Jesus is the Messiah. The Savior. The King. The Lord. The One for whom your soul has been seeking.
