The Lord Jesus is God, and He became a real man. He felt thirst, sadness, weariness, joy, anger, compassion and other things that people feel - but He was sinless, and not only that, He was holy; He could not sin.
In this chapter we find Him weary with His journey. When He came to Samaria, He sat on a well and rested. A woman came to that well to get water, and Jesus asked her for a drink. She never thought that a man who was a Jew would ask a woman of Samaria for a drink. He did this because He wanted to bring her blessing. Her life had been filled with sorrow. Now she met someone who could bring her happiness and salvation. She started to speak about religion, so Jesus told her that the time had come for true worship of the Father; it had to be in spirit and in truth. How strange this all sounded to her! He told her that He was Messias the Christ, and she believed Him.
About this time, Jesus’ disciples arrived and marveled that He talked with a woman of Samaria. It brought such joy to His heart in leading one sinner to God that food had no interest to Him at that moment. He told the disciples that the multitudes are just like fields ready to harvest. The Lord was sowing the good seed and soon the disciples could reap many men and women by bringing them to salvation.
