Lent Reading for Day 6

John 4 ... look closely at the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan
Woman which he breaks all the cultural norms with. Watch how Jesus is able
to speak deeply into her life from just meeting her moments ago. It is a
great illustration of leading people to openness and honesty.

May our Lord move deeply in your life throughout your day at work, school,
home or among any relationships that you engage with today - strangers or best
friends...

It is interesting to see the difference the woman before and after the conversation with Christ. Before she avoided people and wished for a way to avoid going to the well (give me your water so I don't have to come here any more). After her encounter with Christ was exposed, she went back into the town proclaming what she had experienced. She no longer had anything to hide.

Not really related to the post, it is also so interesting to see this:

21 Jesus said to her,  “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (Jn 4:21). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.

I wonder how much trouble I would get into if I replaced "mountain" or "Jerusalem" with sanctuary, auditorium or worship center...

Why are people so stuck on worshipping in a place?
