El Señor… es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca, sino que todos procedan al arrepentimiento.
2 Pedro 3:9
Jesus awaits
Jesus, tired, sat beside the well of Jacob (John 4:6) in Sychar, city of Samaria. In it a woman came with her pitcher to draw water. It was a despised Samaritan, a woman who lived in the moral disorder. She did not know that would be found before Him who knew all his life.
When he reached the well was surprised that a Jewish man asked her to drink. Jesus said: "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you drink, you would have asked, and he would give you living water" (John 4:10). This response aroused in her the need for water that truly soothes the thirst. "Sir," she said, "Give me this water, that I thirst." Did you give Jesus a moral lesson and advised him to first change behavior? No, let him know who knew the history and won their confidence. Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city and, forgetting her shame, she announced to everyone: "Come, see a man who told me everything I have done. Is not this the Christ."
Whatever their nationality and their sinful state, you need water is not a "miracle" or the intercession of the saints, but know the gift of God. That gift is Jesus, the crucified, resurrected, who "died for our sins and rose again ... the third day "(1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Jesus, who has been crowned with glory and honor in heaven, is the only mediator between God and men. Did you know?
