He exercises His merciful authority from that praise-built throne.
    Jesus spoke to the woman and persuaded her that He was the Messiah. She summoned the whole town to come and see him. (See John 4.) Before the day was over, Jacob’s Well was providing much more than plain water—it had become a source of living water.

Chapter 4
    SECRETS OF THE WELL
    A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” …Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans
(J OHN 4:7,9) .
    W hen Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman drawing water in the middle of the day, which is highly unusual, we quickly learn from their conversation that there are probably some good reasons for her timing. Normally, she would go the well to fetch water in the middle of the day to avoid the scrutiny, rejection, and even mockery of the other women. As Jesus noted, she was far from being an expert on relationships, having suffered the pain of five divorces and currently living out of wedlock with a sixth man. In all likelihood, she did not come to the well when the others did because her lifestyle had shamed her before the other women of the community. Perhaps she could not take any more of the other women’s questioning her about her serial relationships in a society that highly valued monogamy.

Trips to the well in the heat of the day were only part of the picture.

    FROM NATURAL WELL TO HEAVENLY WELL
    Jesus’ prophetic eyes must have seen a desire for breakthrough in the heart of this woman. I must admit that of all of the people in the Bible, a woman of her character would not have been my personal choice of someone to whom to reveal the greatest revelation about worship in the New Testament; however, “the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). In His mercy, the Lord gave this nameless Samaritan woman a key that would change her life, heal her brokenness, and remove her shame—the key of worship.
    Right away, the conversation took an interesting turn. No sooner did He reveal her deepest secrets and thus prove that He was more than just another thirsty traveler, than He immediately started teaching her about worship. There, sitting on the edge
