Going Through

That is the uniqueness of Him being God-Man. This uniqueness meant that he experienced everything we will experience in life with the exception of sin [Hebrews 4:15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.]

Therefore, the scriptures tell us that He was weary. John is showing his humanity, and how even as a man, He got tired.

[Verse 8] “For His disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.” So, as man He is both hungry and thirsty.

Now as GOD, he is rest for the weary for He says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” [Matthew 11:28] Now that is Divinity -- but John is showing us right here His humanity by showing Him being weary, Him being tired sat thus on the well.

A well on top of a well. Now what Jacob’s well was in the “natural” Jesus was in the “Spiritual”.

Remember the setting, they where in the middle of desert and if they didn’t get to that well to get them a bucket of water ... may of them would die of thirst. However, Jesus is that living water; He is that fountain of living water that never runs out.

Can I get some help up here? I’m looking for one or two honest people, who ain’t ashamed of their past, who is not ashamed of their testimony to Shout Amen. [Can I get some help up in here?]

Anybody remember when you were in a desert, thirsty place, when you were in your wilderness place on your way to hell ... but Jesus by the power of His Holy Spirit came into your life and quenched your thirst. He is a well just sitting on top of a well.

[Verse 6]

“Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour [particular time], it was about 12 noon.” It’s hot. The sun is beaming down. It’s about 100 degrees.

But -- watch this, even in Jesus weariness ... He still had a purpose.

[Verse 7].

“There cometh a woman of Samaria [the particular person] to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.”

Now a stranger comes to the well -- Now, this woman was no stranger to Samaria, but she was to Jesus. That is, she had never had any contact with Him before. Remember, we discovered that Jesus was God-Man ..., which means that He knew all about her, but they were strangers because their paths had never crossed.

I’m going to get to this woman -- but I just have to stay right here and deal with this for a moment. Jesus knew all about her, but they were strangers because their paths had never crossed.

There is “no one” in the sanctuary today that Jesus doesn’t know about. However, there may be some here today that are strangers to Jesus because your paths have not crossed at this point. Well I stop by the tell you that ... today is your divine appointment. Today is a “show down not at Jacob’s well, but at the altar”. Today Jesus can become your Savior instead of being a stranger to you. All you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
