Isaiah 12:3
"Therefore with joy shall ye draw Water out of the Wells of Salvation."
These Words of God speak of Himself, the Water of Eternal Life, the Word of God as revealed to His children by His Spirit.
This was His main mission when He went through Samaria; to draw some of His children to Himself and to cause them to draw the Living Water "with joy," from Him; God in the flesh. "Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with His journey, sat thus on the well... There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, give Me to drink." (John 4:6-7) This woman of Samaria was confused at first but the Spirit gave her ears to hear, "Then saith the woman of Samaria unto Him, How is it that Thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered...If thou knewest the Gift of God, and Who it is that saith to thee, Give Me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of Him, and He would have given thee Living Water. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast Thou that living water?" (John 4:9-11)
She thought Jesus was talking about the water of the world but His Words revealed the Truth, "...the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth...God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him mush worship Him in Spirit and in Truth."
(John 4:23-24)
Jesus the Well of Truth, draws each one of His own to Himself and gives each one the Gift of God; the Word of Life; the Living Water: Himself, "And many more believed because of His own Word...we have heard Him...this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." (John 4:41-42)
Indeed!
