“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24
John 4:6-13 “…Jesus saith…Give me to drink…If thou knewest the gift of God, …thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. …Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again.”
This woman could only understand from her perspective. Jesus tried to change her perspective from literal to spiritual water. Jesus is asking us to change our perspective. A Religious profession says that they have “living water” but they are continually seeking for more. Such are continually thirsty, lulled and comfortable in a wet/dry cycle. Those with a religious profession are getting drier and drier, finding it hard to give up their religious well.This woman had to give up her religious ideas. She had water and Jesus had water. She was not going to get her water from him until she was willing to give up the spiritual water she was depending on.
Verses 15-19 “The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not…Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.”
Jesus did not just give her his water but needed to see if she really wanted it. Jesus looking do we really want the water of true salvation.
Verses 20-23 “Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her…Ye worship ye know not what…But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
This women is starting to see Jesus as who he is. The well was even looking different. She was seeing her religion in a different light and was beginning to question. Her religion could not keep her from adultery. She had wanted something more. If religion cannot raise us above sin then, like this woman, it is time to question our well. This woman came face to face with true religion, a salvation that will save you from your sin. Jesus is still looking for people who when faced with true religion will be willing to abandon their sin and drink from Jesus’ well.
Verses 24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
You too can be set free from all your sin, free to worship God in spirit and in truth.
