| Summary: We, like those followers of Moses from so long ago, are no less than the people of God on a journey through a foreign land to a new land, a land of promise, in which we will be truly free. The way there is hard. We come up against hard places we cannot get over or around. And we find that God is precisely there, in those hard places. |

| Summary: Faith ownership is a state of spiritual maturity where each Christian personally accepts full responsibility for his or her own spiritual growth. The story of the woman at the well is an excellent biblical illustration of not just one person, but a group of people, crossing the line from “faith-rental” to “faith ownership.” |

| Summary: In Jesus’ presence, we begin to see who we are, but we also see who he is, and if we drink the living water he offers, whatever we’ve done, the good and the bad of it, cease to be things we have to lug around. His living water performs its own spiritual lifosuction so that while our history remains, the judgment on it is gone. |
|
|
| Summary: The story of the woman at the well teaches us that once we acknowledge our sin to God, it loses its power over us. In fact, an appropriate level of vulnerability in this area makes us a more effective witness for the Gospel. When we do share the Gospel, we need to be sensitive to the spiritual readiness of those to whom we speak. |

| Summary: There are many biblical references to water because it was, and is, a chemical that is essential for life. But ordinary water isn’t very exciting, and people often look for something that is — other chemicals, power, family and so on. Jesus’ conversation with a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well begins with ordinary water, but Jesus then speaks of “living water,” a metaphor for what gives true meaning to life. He leads their conversation to the point where he can tell her that he is the source of that living water. |

|
| Summary: The conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman breaks down barriers, interprets true worship and inspires us to ministry. |
|
|
| Summary: Time and again, the people Jesus meets along the road seem to take his metaphorical words literally, meaning they often miss the point. We can learn from their errors and grasp the deeper meaning of the cosmic Christ for all of us. |
|
|
| Summary: This story rightfully focuses on the Samaritan woman. But the church would do well to focus on the actions of another “character” here: the disciples. After all, “they” are “us.”
