As we look at this intimate biblical encounter with Christ and the Woman at the Well, we'll see the sweet and powerful way that Christ meets us exactly where we're at, even in the middle of our daily chores.

He sees our eternal worth and identity and wants all of us, including our weaknesses, which are often what allow Him to shine more brightly through us. He just needs a willing heart. We'll see a sweet transformation as Christ spends time with this daughter disciple and creates an environment to help her see His true identity. As she learns of Christ’s identity as her Messiah, she comes to better understand her own identity.

This interaction between the Woman at the Well and Christ is one of the most detailed narratives between Christ and one of His daughter disciples in scripture that we have. It is so intimate, which helps us to see ourselves more easily in her shoes, helping us better see our own encounters with Christ.
