John 4:5-15, 19-25
Jesus was at a well in Samaria when a woman approached. She was Samaritan, and the Jews usually did not speak to Samaritans. So she was very surprised when He asked her to draw Him some water. Jesus answered that if she knew who He was, she would ask Him for living water. The woman was confused. Jesus didn't have a bucket, how would He draw water? She asked Him if He was greater than Jacob, who dug the well. (In actuality, He was, but she didn't know that yet.)
Jesus told the woman that her water would only quench her thirst for a while. He had water that would quench her thirst forever! The woman like that. She wouldn't have to carry water every day. She asked how she could get this water. Jesus told her to bring her husband to see Him. She replied that she had no husband. Jesus said, that's right. You've been married before, but you are not now.
When the woman realized that Jesus knew all about her life, she thought He was a prophet. She asked a common religious question about where to worship. Jesus said we must worship in spirit and in truth; that's more important than the physical place. We must worship in our heart and do what's right. The story exhibits a woman with strength of character, a good knowledge of her faith that was corrected by Jesus, and then the courage to become a disciple and messenger of the Good News.
Fill My Cup Lord: (Like the Woman at the Well)
Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy;
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
"Draw from my well that never shall run dry".
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more--
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more--
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
So, my brother, if the things this world gave you
Leave hungers that won't pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more--
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!
