Life had not been on her side
Shunned from her community
She waits until the heat of the day
To fill her waterpots made of clay
Jacobs well had filled many pots
Quenched many athirst
Who is this man who sits at the well
And tells her to give him drink from the well?
He tells her of living waters
Not of the well but of everlasting life
“Give me this water” she said
Seeking to be spiritually fed
He speaks of her life
And she perceives this man to be a Prophet
How does this man know who I am? She thinks
I am just a Samaritan come to drink
He speaks to her of God
That we must worship Him in spirit and truth
“I know Messias cometh” said the woman of Samaria
The man looked at her, the heat surrounding the area
She looked back at him wide-eyed
“I…am he,” he says, smiling
Not needing to say it twice
This truth, she shared, “Is not this the Christ?!”
