Jesus through this astonishing and profound encounter offers a societally estranged Samaritan Woman the greatest invitation anyone can ever receive. He invites her into a personal relationship with God in all its fullness.
But surely not, a Samaritan Woman? Oh yes! Jesus defies historic and contemporary belief that excludes anyone from this invitation because of their background and/or identity. For all who believe Jesus is the Christ, Son of God they will have abundant life through believing in his name.
Yet, the story doesn’t end there. This Woman is so transformed by receiving living water it flows out of her as she evangelises to the very people she was estranged from! A simple but beautiful example of evangelism “Come & See a Man who changed my life.”
