25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
John 4:25-26
Humans can be thick headed at times. I’m as guilty of it as the next. I’m not sure if the woman at the well realized who Jesus was until He reminded her that final time “I who speak to you am He” or if she was just so overwhelmed she couldn’t comprehend it.
At the moment she realized that the Lord of all knew her personally and loved her, she simply could not contain it. That reminds me of how I was before Christ. A failed marriage. Parents who wouldn’t speak to me (by my own doing). Smoking. Drinking. Sleeping around. I sought the flesh because I believed I did not deserve love.
Jesus proved otherwise. I finally answered the door he’d been knocking at for 39 years and He knew my name. He knew all I had done. He forgave me and loved me. I no longer wanted to stay the same, I wanted to change, I wanted to be more like Him and because of obedience to Him, I was saved.
Like that unlovable woman at the well with 5 husbands and no hope, I could not contain it! Jesus knew me, He restored my family, cut away my addictions, and set me free.
