I am just like the woman at the well.Jesus is purely love❤.It takes so many years to understand Jesus. He will never given up to those who are stubborn. Amen
I was told by my Greek priest that she was never married instead she opted to just live with these men, and act like they were her husband. Again our Lord never condemned her, so inspirational
She didn't care what men thought of her: she wasn't concerned by being rejected by Jesus. She's not Jewish. She isn't subject to the morning prayer of male Jews like Peter who thanked the Lord that he wasn't born a gentile, a slave or a woman. The Samaritan Woman comes to Jacob's well to get pregnant like Tamar ambushing Judah for her rightful dowry. That's the intentional allusion to the episode The encounter begins as a flirtation from the Samaritan Woman's point of view and, when Jesus begins talking about "living waters", she assumes He is speaking euphemistically about the product of sexual intercourse and her enthusiasm increases Jesus is clearly thinking about her desire to become pregnant when He tells her to go get her husband He knows she is practicing polyandry and has had children from five men and wants another child but her present companion is shooting blanks. His offer is to make her companion potent. But she wants to eliminate the middle man and get it on with Jesus, who may be Jewish but is male and can get the job done she wants done when Jesus throws cold water on the flirtation and proceeds to drill down into her spiritual expectations, which He validates by revealing Himself as the Messiah by making her pregnant by the Holy Spirit just as His Disciples return from shopping and beaks the mood between them. She is no outcast. She runs back to her body guards watching from the entrance to Sychar and convinces them with her greeting to go and see the Messiah for themselves. The timing of this episode is exquisite, because the Disciples are still standing around with their mouths agape at this incredible breach of Jewish social norms when the Samaritan village empties out to go to Jesus. It is useful to understand that they were prepared to do battle with this gang of Jews, and were poised for attack in defense of this woman until her report changed the atmosphere from hostility to worship and a 3 day encounter with the basis of their own faith. It is also useful to understand that this village contributed to the 4000 Jesus fed in the Decapolis after the Passover of 29 and the Festival of Tabernacles of 30 after John Mark's 15th Birthday.
The interpretation of this scripture is not about been rejected by men physically , rather it means the women served 5 false gods,if she had 5 men physically she would have been stoned to death way before, that was the tradition in the times
Let me help you in your studies. The husband's are those empires that ruled over Israel. The Samaritan woman represents divorced Israel because they cheated on God. Israel was to be married to YHWH. Rome was her current husband but it isn't her true husband. God is Israel's true husband. You recognize the truth. Beware of these preachers that mean well but have no insight
The woman at the well is not a Victim . she is a promiscuous woman who goes through men often and God ordained her to come to the well because she was predestined to be saved by the son by his mercy Romans 9:15 "I (God) will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy. Romans 8 :28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, whoi have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. Geesh did you really missed that?or did you like i and dont want to hear the trutht? 2 Timothy 4:3For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Matthew 13:11 He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
This woman at the well isn’t broken by any means. First of all, the circumstances of this pericope is an allusion to Genesis 38, when Tamar tricks Judah into keeping his obligation to provide her offspring to continue his line and to ensure her economic welfare. The fact that this occurs at Jacob’s Well should be the tell-tale for the discerning pilgrim. The woman comes to the well to get pregnant. She has had children from five men and she wants another. It is part of her social security. She is either with a man that has been unable to accomplish this task or she is content with a convenient target of opportunity. She hasn’t come out to the well to avoid the slander of her neighbors: the response of the village after she returns from the well isn’t one of disdain for a “fallen women” but an immediate acceptance of her proclamation as they stream out of the village to meet this prophet. She has come out to the oasis because a traveler has pulled up and she wants to get pregnant. The dialogue between Jesus and the woman begins as a flirtation. She assumes he is making a pass at her and she teases him. If there was a sound track, it would be playing Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” while she jousts with Jesus’ claims of status. But the music changes to the hook of Ace to Base’s “All She Wants Is Another Baby” at Mark 4:13, when the metaphor of “water” takes on the procreative turn she is seeking. From her perspective, “living water” is a metaphor for intercourse and the economics of her situation, that is, a woman seeking another child for her own future welfare, compels her to seek out this “living water” But, of course, Jesus isn’t talking about an erotic interlude, but is addressing the specific issue she has brought to him: her desire for a bun in the oven. “If your husband is shooting blanks, bring him to me and I’ll fix him” is the subtext to the converstational theme, which, of course, she demurs “I have not husband”. She is not a Jew: she is sufficient unto herself and content with that circumstance. Which provides Jesus the opportunity to demonstrate who He is, first by a recitation of her history of polyandry, then, by a brief recitation of His theology and then, when she comments on the Samaritan’s racial memory of the coming of the Jewish Messiah, Jesus explicitly reveals HImself as the fulfillment of this memory and emphasizes the point by making her pregnant in the same way the Holy Ghost made His made His Mother pregnant. At that moment of intense intimacy, His disciples arrive and break the spell. And, again, the music changes to Natalie Merchant’s theme song from the Lilith Fair, “Kind and Generous” as the woman dances away to carry this stunning revelation to her neighbors in the village, forgetting her water bottle. . She hasn’t been shamed by Jesus, but validated and, if she needed it, empowered to inspire her neighbors to IMMEDIATELY drop everything to come out and meet this prophet. She’s not chagrin in the least. She is giddy with the loveliness of her encounter with Jesus and the baptism of the Spirit of God which made her pregnant. In this last task, she anticipates Mary Magdalene running from the tomb to announce His resurrection and completes the hat trick of representing an allusion to Tamar, a self-empowered woman, Mary, Mother of God, who magnifies the Glory of The Lord, and Mary Magdalene, who brought the word of the Messiah to her world. This isn’t a portrait of a damaged woman seeking salvation from her shame, but a strong and self-reliant woman whose life is sanctified by salvation and glorified by this sanctification. This is not the Gospel of Shame required by TULIP, but the arrival of the Kingdom of Heaven in Sychar in the womb of this woman. And, like Mike Pense, His disciples are horrified that He was in extremely intimate circumstance with a gentile woman. It’s one thing for His disciples to misapprehend the circumstances of His ministry before the fact, but 2000 years later, the interpretation of this pericope according the Gospel of Shame is far more the gender politics that continues to pollute Christianity than the theological rigtheousness it claims to represent. It’s the same theology that informed Roy Moore’s supporters. The Kingdom of Heaven is salvation as a process of sanctification. It’s not what you do to JUSTIFY salvation but what you do BECAUSE of salvation.
Bien Raneses Was not Mary, mother of Jesus, also Mary, Mother of God? This is pretty straight forward logic: if A = B and A = C, does it not follow that B = C? A being Mary, B being mother of Jesus, C being Mother of God and all. Unless you have a problem with Jesus = God, then you might say, you lack standing in the court.

Wrong. She was a survivor. Laws didn't allow her to survive as a single mother.
Are you going to dehydrate so badly that you need to drink a coffee while preaching?

Tom Wilson dude.... seriously..
Seriously what, darling?
Tom Wilson 😂
Tom Wilson, where did you get that; Mary Mother of God thing? Show me any passage of Scripture that would support your ridiculous claim!
Bien Raneses
Was not Mary, mother of Jesus, also Mary, Mother of God?
This is pretty straight forward logic: if A = B and A = C, does it not follow that B = C?
A being Mary, B being mother of Jesus, C being Mother of God and all.
Unless you have a problem with Jesus = God, then you might say, you lack standing in the court.
