Whoever drinks the water I give, will never thirst again.
John 4:5-42
- In the story of the Samaritan woman, Jesus uses water as a symbol of Godโs revelation and Godโs Spirit.
- The exchange between Jesus and the woman causes conversion to take place.
- The woman identifies Jesus several times, each time with greater understanding. First, he was a Jewish man, then a prophet, and finally she makes a comment about the Messiah.

Is the Lord in our midst or not?

- The wonder of Godโs free gift of salvation in Jesus is subject of the passage from Paulโs Letter to the Romans.
- God responds to our need with compassion and mercy.
