Women get the blessing of God easier than men
Friends, May God bless you. May Jesus reveal Himself to
you. Jesus bless all to whom He reveal Himself. Jesus like people who are
simple, innocent like children, depend or rely on Him, have full faith in God,
God’s word and in Him. May you be such blessed person. For this, please
prayerfully study His Holy words.
I find that it is easier for women get the blessing of God
than men. May be because, women -1) represent human being which God love and
care; 2) Or weaker than man and know their weakness, hence, more submissive and
admit their fault than men; 3) easily believe what men tell them, and more.
Jesus talks With a Samaritan Woman, who consider herself
and her Samaritan tribe lower than Jews. Jesus no her innocent or simplicity
and her faith in Him ‘to be able to give what He said’. She believe Jesus and
whatever He said to her. Jesus also knew her faith in God, God’s word and hope
for the coming of ‘Christ or Messiah’. Therefore, Jesus revealed the Truth
about Himself that He is ‘Christ or Messiah’.
Read : John 4:6-42 Jacob’s
well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the
well. It was about noon. When a
Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ”Will
you give me a drink?” (His
disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
Jesus answered her, ”If you knew the gift of God and who it is that
asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you
living water.”
”Sir,” the
woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you
get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself,
as did also his sons and his livestock?”
Jesus answered, ”Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty
again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give
them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
The woman said
to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming
here to draw water.”
He told her, ”Go, call your husband and come back.”
”I have no
husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, ”You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had
five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just
said is quite true.”
”Sir,” the
woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that
the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
”Woman,” Jesus replied, ”believe me, a time is
coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in
Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do
know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father
in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must
worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
The woman
said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) ”is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
Then Jesus
declared, ”I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
………….. Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said
to the people, ”Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the
Messiah?”
They came out of the town and made their way
toward him.
……….Many of
the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me
everything I ever did.” (John 4:6-40 –shortened)
Write ‘Amen’ if you pray Jesus to reveal Himself
to you and bless you. May God bless you.
