Ch04_05_Sermon_The living water that never lets one thirst again (John 4:13-26, 4:39-42)

The Samaritan woman who lived in the town called Sychar in Samaria had had as many as five husbands. So this woman, ashamed to go about in broad daylight when there were many people around, came to draw water at Jacob’s well, carrying a waterpot on her head, at about noon under the blazing sun, the hour when everyone had gone to take a nap. That day, too, the woman came to draw water at about noon, and someone was sitting by the well. It was Jesus. As this woman came and was drawing water with a bucket, Jesus asked her, “Give Me a drink.” When the Samaritan woman looked at this man, His appearance was that of a Jew. The Jewish garment was a blanket-like cloth wrapped around the body and draped over the shoulders, and Jesus was wearing such Jewish clothing. So the woman asked Jesus, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” The woman said this because, although the Samaritans and the Jews were the same people of Israel, they held a sense of discrimination toward each other. It was because the Jews regarded the Samaritans, a people of mixed blood, as very lowly, and ignored and despised them. That is why this woman asked Jesus in puzzlement.
