• Satan uses these things as instruments in his hands of keeping the soul from Christ. Let it be what it may, let it be only a waterpot, he cares not, so that it occupies the mind to the exclusion of the knowledge of Christ. He cares not for the instrument, so that he gains his own end, to draw the mind away from the apprehension of spiritual things. It may be pleasure, it may be amusement, gain, reputation, family duties, lawful employments, so that it keeps the soul from fixing on Christ. This is all he wants. A waterpot will serve his purpose, just as well as a palace. (“The Woman of Samaria” by J.N. Darby)
• The soul is led to inquire, Am I indeed in Him? am I associated with Him in interest, in privilege, in glory? Is He my life? Then what is the world to me? What have I to live for, but for His glory, and to show my gratitude for His unspeakable mercies! (“The Woman of Samaria” by J.N. Darby)
• The work was done: the Lord was received. A poor Samaritan sinner receives the Messiah of Israel, whom the priests and the Pharisees had rejected from among the people. (“John 4” by J.N. Darby)
• She forgets her waterpot, her toil, her circumstances. She is engrossed by this new object that is revealed to her soul―by Christ. (“John 4” by J.N. Darby)
• The revelation of Christ to her soul was both all-absorbing and the most powerful stimulus to make Him known to others. Where the eye is single, the body is full of light....How well she understood Him! He had not formally sent her, yet she went boldly with the invitation. Nor was it merely that she bade them go: “Come, see a Man.” She would go along with them. (“John 4” by W. Kelly)
