John 4:6-8 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
Many things can be said about this portion of Scripture. However, today I would like to focus on one aspect of a truth that should bring us great comfort during those moments when we struggle with life's circumstances and feel like no one understands. "Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well." Jesus, who was fully God, here in this verse demonstrates that He was also fully human. As a human being Jesus experienced life as we experience it. Hebrews 4:15-16 clearly tells us, "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 2:18 reiterates this truth. As children of our Heavenly Father, we can find great comfort, peace, and joy, knowing that whatever God allows us to face, or whatever He allows the enemy to throw at us, we have One who understands exactly what we are going through and stands ready to walk with us, guide us, and strengthen us. Remember that greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world. If we are feeling weary and defeated, know that we have a God who relates and is there even when no one else is.
Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Romans 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive His free gift of salvation today (Romans 10:13).
