It's like I went to the well and drew forth a pot of supernatural Folgers...
A short essay on Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan Woman at the well.
The story in John 4 begins by revealing that the Pharisee’s know what Jesus has been up to, and Jesus knows they know. So, Jesus decides to depart from Judea and head toward Galilee. Instead of going the long way around to avoid the Samaritans, Jesus, teaching us a lesson, went straight through Samaria. The Jews despised the Samaritans for their mixed parentage and rejection of all writings except for the Torah. The Samaritans came into being when the Northern Kingdom fell to the Assyrian King Shalmaneser. The Assyrian King carted off many of the Jews to other parts of the empire, but some Jews were left behind. It was common policy for the Assyrians to promote inter-breeding by bringing in other conquered peoples and mixing them with the nation just conquered. In this way, the Samaritans came to be formed from the Jews. In the passage, the Samaritan woman poses Jesus a question: Do they worship on the mountain or at Jerusalem? The division occurred when Manasseh, the brother of the High Priest, married a Samaritan woman. The controlling religious party condemned the marriage and demanded it be absolved. However, Manasseh decided instead to withdraw from Jerusalem and he took many priests with him. With the help of his father-in-law Manasseh set up a competing temple on Mount Gerizim, and instituted their own Jehovah worship. As stated earlier, most Jews took an alternate route to Galilee. They usually went east through Jericho, crossed the Jordan, went north through Perea, and then finally back across the river to Galilee. So great was their disdain for the Samaritan they would dramatically lengthen a trip just to avoid contact with them. The story of the Samaritan woman at the well is a theologically treasure trove. Not only does Jesus provide a clear example for us to follow, he challenges the prejudices and practices of the ruling Jews, and hints at the greater spiritual rewards of the next life. The first important point to be learned is not actually mentioned in the text, but taken from historical knowledge. The well that Jesus was at was on a hill, with a winding path up to it. Jesus’ disciples must have passed by the Samaritan woman on the way up, yet they did not stop to talk to her. They did not deem her worthy of the Good News they were called to share. We can learn a valuable lesson from the mistakes of the Disciples. We have a call to spread the Good News to everyone, not just those we deem worthy. Too often, the church has come to resemble the same cliquishness exhibited by children in high school. Rev. Forman Lincicome put it best, “God never intended His Church to be a refrigerator in which to preserve perishable piety. He intended it to be an incubator in which to hatch our converts.”To expand on his analogy, we should expect to reach men as they are: eggs. Instead, we look for those closest to chickens and try to draw them in all the while ignoring those who need it most, those who are trapped by the shell of their sinful lives. The dialogue begins with Jesus making a simple, yet astonishing request. He asks a female Samaritan woman for a drink. This is astonishing for a number of reasons, first because of the previously discussed division between Jews and Samaritans, secondly because Jesus is a male and a Rabbi, and finally because a woman drawing water at that time of day (she drew when none of the other women would be there) meant she was probably one of ill repute as was confirmed later in the text. Her response was typical, “How can you ask me for a drink?” The text explains her statement by telling us that Jews do not associate with Samaritans. Then Jesus, sensing a soul in need of his redeeming power responds that if she only knew who he was, she would be asking him for water and he would give her the living water. She misunderstood his statement and sought to find out where this new flowing water source was. 13Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Jesus explains the necessity of the flowing water and his spirit is the flowing water. Once again missing the point, the woman merely seeks water that will perpetually satisfy her physical need. Jesus knows that the only way he can get his point across is by demonstrating his power. Isn’t this the case with us so many times? God reveals a truth to us time and time again, but we remain steadfast in our rebellion. It takes a divine wake-up call to get us back on the right track, almost like a supernatural pot of Folgers. Jesus then reveals his knowledge of the woman’s promiscuity. Amazed by what she has heard, the woman calls him a prophet inadvertently naming him as the Messiah. With his prophet hood established, she seeks his council on where to worship: The Mountain or Jerusalem? 21Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. Jesus, instead of enforcing Jewish tradition or Samaritan tradition, basically says that it isn’t important. In my opinion, this verse is an indictment of legalism, and points out that where you worship is not as important as how (how is addressed in the following passages). 22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. This statement has always had far-reaching implications to me. Often, when someone is mistaken in their theology some are quick to denounce them as false and therefore worshipping demons or the devil. However, it was possible for Samaritans to be greatly mistaken in their view of God, yet it was God they were worshipping. The practice of their religion is not acceptable to God; however, Jesus acknowledges their sincere attempt to pray to the Father. This would mean that while we may have important theological differences with a group, they could still be worship what they do not know correctly. This may include people with differences in the nature of Salvation (Church of Christ, Roman Catholics, etc.) or even groups that are altogether another religion (Islam). Again, I am not saying Jesus is acknowledging their mistaken beliefs, merely their attempt to worship what they do not know. 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” Jesus sums up his statement by declaring that true worship is in spirit and in truth and the father wants people who will worship him that way. Worship that is not in both spirit and truth is not acceptable to God. The Samaritan woman, moved by what he has said, comments that the Messiah will explain everything to them. Jesus replied simply, “I who speak to you am he.” The whole story of the Samaritan woman is a powerful reminder of God’s love for us. Just like her, we are outcasts from the kingdom of God, cast from the garden and born as children of wrath. It takes God loving us first asking us for a drink of water so that we may ask him to love us back with the living water of his redemptive work. Just as Jesus had to demonstrate his power for the woman to understand him, so must the power of God work on the hearts of men to make them ready for the Good News. As Origen put it, “The Word of God declares that the preaching is not sufficient to reach the human heart (even though it may be true and worthy of belief), unless a certain power is imparted to the speaker from God.” God and God alone changes hearts.

Re: Coffee Club ~~ What's in your coffee cup this morning? The morning mix, with music !
Tired today, had to sit on the garden bench, drink coffee, and enjoy life some! Came back with this one! Not blue any more, Delbert does that for me every time!!
That's not where you all got it from. Read - for thy sustainer is the most bountiful one, who has taught the use of the pen, taught man what he did not know!
Nay verily man becomes grossly overweening, whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: for behold unto thy sustainer all must return.
