This week, on ‘The Pasture’s Podcast’ for Advent:

Jesus told her about heavenly water and said it’s just for her. It can’t be bought or earned. It’s given by the Ladle of Grace. Once offered, though, Truth kicked in:

“But you have to tell the truth about yourself.”

Don’t you love how Jesus doesn’t rub her nose in it, belabor the point, or look down His high and mighty nose at her?!?

She confesses.

He nods.

Tells her “you’re right.”

And yet…she doesn’t feel condemned – though she might have suffered a pang of shame and self-guilt – but Jesus quickly segues to:

“so what are we going to do about it?”

Advent Cry: Why are You so interested in me?


Can you relate?

“…As she nears the well with fevered thoughts she pulls up because there is a Man who appears to know she’s arriving.

It’s as if He’s waiting there for her.

She gingerly steps toward Him, taking note the look of bemusement on His face. What strikes her most is He is most obviously a Jew.


And He’s standing right where she needs to go!

O Samaria, My Samaria!

We each have ‘Samarias’ in our hearts where there are found secrets, fears, follies, rejections, and hurts..and, just as the Savior does for this poor misfit and outcast in John 4, He will also make an intentional visit to such places in my life, to set me free of them.


He has love enough to overcome the exiled places in me.


Today, on the Pasture’s Podcast…
