Bible Verse of The Day – 3-13-25

John 4:15-18 (LSB) 15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come back here to draw.” 16 He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.” 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.”

As we study people who have had life-changing encounters with God, we will look today at “the woman at the well”, as she is commonly known.

As Jesus and the disciples were passing through Samaria, Jesus rested beside a well. He was tired from the journey, and His disciples had left Him there and had gone into the city to buy food.

As He waited for them to return, a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him a drink.

The woman was surprised at this because Jews of that day typically would not interact with Samaritans.

When the woman questioned why He, being a Jew, would ask her for water, Jesus used that opportunity to speak words of truth to her that would change her life.

Jesus instructed her to go and call her husband, and return with him. And when she said she had no husband, He proceeded to tell her that He knew she had had five husbands, and the man she was currently with was not her husband.

Through His prophetic words, the woman’s eyes were opened, and she knew He was more than just a common man. She discerned that He was a prophet, and she spoke of the coming Messiah.

Jesus then proceeded to tell her that He was the Messiah that she spoke of.

As the disciples returned, the woman left her water jar and went into the city, proclaiming, “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; is this not the Christ?”

People immediately left the city and came to Him.

This woman had an encounter with God. Her life was immediately changed. And it is quite likely that the lives of others were changed as well, as they flocked to see this Jesus that she so enthusiastically spoke of!

We never know where or when we will encounter God. But we do know that when it happens, we will never be the same.

Please join us tomorrow as we study another God encounter!
