CHRIST IS RISEN!
INDEED HE IS RISEN!

SUNDAY OF SAMARITAN WOMAN
No liquid can forever satisfy our physical thirst, but Jesus will quench the spiritual thirst of all who repent, obey His lordship, and thereby drink of Him (John 4:13–14). And so the Samaritan woman was thus satisfied when grace found her, and she became an integral witness to the fact that Jesus really is the Savior of the world (John 4:39–42).
Before finding forgiveness and witnessing to it, the woman at the well surrendered to immorality and worshiped pleasure as an idol in place of God. In our hedonistic society, we too may find it easy to believe the lie that we can embrace all the mores of our culture and yet worship the Lord in truth. If you have been standing against the tide of hedonism, stand strong and continue to drink of the water Christ gives, the only substance that can satisfy our souls.
Jesus uses the water as a metaphor to teach this woman. He speaks about the living water, which gives eternal life, divine grace, or God's life within the soul. The woman craves this type of water, because she wants to have eternal life. But first Jesus has a lengthy but candid dialogue with her. He makes her understand that she needs to confess her sins and change her life before she can obtain this life-giving water — grace. Jesus shows her that he already knows she is living with a man who is not her husband.
Poniznost, je neobicna stvar.
U minutu kad pomislis da je imas,
ti si je tada izgubio.
