God was in Christ down here, revealing Himself in Him. He was showing man in Him that the heart that had a need might trust Him with that need. All His words and miracles were to lead the heart to this, that it might trust God in love. This was in the world. When once my eyes have been opened to know He is there, as the poor woman at the well, I get to know God, and I can trust Him. (J. N. D.)
