Jesus knew He would meet the woman at Jacob’s well. He knew her history and the history of the well. The woman knew her theology enough to ask about Jesus’s identity. The use of hunger and thirst illustrates our desire to want fulfillment. How often have I settled for lesser things than being fed by God’s ales and drinking in His presence.
“God was on the move; God is on the move; and God will always be on the move. Those who walk with God and listen to God are also on the move. Reading the Bible so we can live it out today means being on the move—always. Anyone who stops and wants to turn a particular moment into a monument, as the disciples did when Jesus was transfigured before them, will soon be wondering where God has gone.” - Scot McKnight, The Blue Parakeet: Rethinking How You Read the Bible
