We are in John's synoptic gospel because he was the closest to a true authentic spiritual human, Jesus Christ (of 3-31/2 years) and then after spending some thirty years with Paul. Besides he did not take interviews from those who were followers of the lord Jesus, he knew as in face to face and first hand!
John 4:27-30 "And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto him." (KJV)
John 4:27-30 "Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you seek?" or, "Why are you talking with her?" So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, "Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?" They went out of the town and were coming to him." (ESV)
John 4:27-30 Just then his disciples arrived; they were quite surprised that he was in such deep conversation with a woman, but made no remarks. Leaving her water pot behind she hurried back to the city to tell the people what happened at the well. (No water pot can compete with a fountain bursting from within! Suddenly she understood that all people indeed share the same origin. The fountain of living water was not distant from her, beyond her reach, but waiting to awaken within her. Not any of her previous five marriages or even her religious traditions could quench her thirst. Not because she failed to meet 'Mr. Perfect' or the men in her life failed to meet her expectations, but simply because of the fact that nothing external was ever meant to define or complete her life.
The life of our design is defined in Jesus Christ as in a mirror. Here, there remains no partner, politics or past experience to blame or compete with, only a new life within you to discover, explore, enjoy - and share. Your source will sustain you. "By the waters of reflection, my soul remembers who I am.: Psalm 23
Truth therapy does not attempt to untangle the complicated emotional hurts and traumas of the past; instead truth reveals the integrity of our original life redeemed in Christ. He is the fountainhead of our genesis. Paul did not say, "Behold the old! He said, "Behold all things are new!" 2Corinthians 5:17
The end of an era has arrived! return to your Source. "He is the Author and conclusion of faith.") Hebrews 12:2 "Come quickly! I met a man who told me everything about my life! [1] Could this possibly be the Messiah?" (With a woman's intuition she avoided ouk and uses [1] meti, whether, at all, perchance. She does not take sides, but piques their curiosity.) She arose their interest enough for them to leave the city at once to go meet this man for themselves. -The Mirror
John 4:31-38 "In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, "Master, eat." But he said unto them, 'I have meat to eat that ye know not of.' Therefore said the disciples one to another, "Hath any man brought him ought to eat?" Jesus saith unto them, 'My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, "There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?" behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.'" (KJV)
John 4:31-38 "Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." But he said to them, 'I have food to eat that you do not know about.' So the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?" Jesus said to them, 'My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, "There are yet four months, then comes the harvest?" Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.'" (ESV)
John 4:31-38 Meanwhile his disciples were urging him to take some food. But he said, 'I am feasting on food you cannot see!' His disciples were baffled, "Who brought him anything to eat?" Jesus told them, 'My food is to fulfill the desire of him who commissioned me and to leave no detail undone! The bread you labor for takes four months from the day you sow the seed until it ripens in the ear, doesn't it? This not the food that I am talking about. The fruit of your own toil and performance will never satisfy permanently; see them through your Father's eyes and you will know that they too are ripe and ready to discover how fully included they are in my finished work. They are perfectly mirror in me! (A harvest is ripe when the seed in the ear matches the seed that was sown! My mission is to reveal and redeem the image and likeness of GOD in human form!) This harvest reveals how both he who sows and he who reaps participate in the same joy of the life of the ages! Just as the proverb says, "One sows and another reaps!" I commission you to reap that which you did not labor for! Others labored and you tapped into the fruit of their toil!' -The Mirror
The LORD willing the next look will bring us to the Samaritans visiting with Jesus, after their being intrigued by the woman's witness.
