\u201cliving water\u201d that Jesus offers.\u00a0 I asked the students how many of them were affected by divorce in their family, or knew anyone that had been divorced.\u00a0 Surprisingly, there were few.\u00a0 I know that it\u2019s not uncommon here for people to just live together like a married couple even though they have not actually exchanged vows before God, or gone before the justice of the peace. \u00a0 That\u2019s not a marriage.\u00a0 It\u2019s called fornication and is part of the pathway to hell if not repented of.\u00a0 But this was my introduction to the story of the Samaritan woman at the well and her encounter with Jesus.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Samaritan woman is the picture of the \u201cbroken cisterns\u201d of Jeremiah 2:13.\u00a0 The world\u2019s advice, along with the forsaking of her first (and only valid) marriage covenant, had left her isolated and miserable \u2013 unmistakably dry spiritually.\u00a0 Nothing in this 4th chapter of John tells me that she went on in her sin.\u00a0 She really displayed a strong case of repentance to drop what she was doing and run into the village and announce the Messiah.\u00a0 Oh that we would see more of this type of repentance today!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rivers
