A Girl in the Middle | Titus 2 mentor encouraging women to love God and to love, well, their home and family.
21 Names of God: 16, Messiah
Messiah, The Christ
If I could give everyone a notecard and pen, then show up here with nothing said prior, and ask you to write down the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear, “The woman at the well,” what would you write? I can tell you what most first think when they hear this title and it concentrates on her adultery; the fact that she’d had so many husbands and the man she was with now she was not even married to. And I can’t fault anyone there, because that seems to be exactly who meets Christ at the well.
A THIRSTY JEW
There’s Christ sitting on Jacob’s well, a thirsty Jew. Not only should He not have been in Samaria, He shouldn’t have been at the well, and He certainly shouldn’t have been speaking to a Samaritan woman. But He was. Jesus wasn’t about societal norms, ever.
–Hey, let’s be sure to make note of that in this day and age; as we desire to become more like Christ we’re going to be walking the same path against society’s approval just as He did here.
He asks her for a drink. She is taken aback, as to be expected, but what happens next shakes up her world.
