Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep...
The woman at the well was completely shocked when a Jew had the audacity to ask her for a drink of water. First of all the Jews never associated with Samaritans and she knew that He would be considered unclean if He drank from her waterpot. I'm sure she probably assumed the worst about His motives for even speaking to her. As soon as He asked about her husband I'm sure her countenance fell as she was instantly reminded about her past; all then men who had come and gone.
This woman had obviously been trying to fill a void in her life with men. She had five husbands, the Word doesn't say what happened to those men, but they had left her nonetheless. She was now "shacking up" with a man outside of wedlock and Jesus told her all about it! Something began to stir inside of her; she perceived His anointing and her heart opened up to Him. It was then that Jesus filled the void inside her with "Living Water" and verse 28 says...She left her waterpot.
SHE DIDN'T NEED IT ANYMORE!!
She was full--filled to the overflow! She had found what she was looking for!!! This woman, who had lived a life of apparent sorrow; her heart had been broken over and over again! Then that day by that well, Jesus came and replaced her cracked & broken "waterpot" with a heart overflowing with His perfect love!
Come to the Well & leave your waterpot and let Him fill your heart <3
