People who like Answer to question .What did Jesus mean when he offered the Samaritan woman “living water,” and how did she initially misunderstand this offer?
By Monica Kemp
Here is MY understanding!
1. Jesus is known by and referred to himself by many names which denote how he IS life, even eternal, to us! So, living water, water of life among many others that indicate he and his words feed our hungry minds and quench our thirst for Truth.
And since they were at a community well, he thought he would use the analogy of drinking water...PLUS! " And the Master talked to them more about the water of life, the gift of the indwelling spirit. Yay, God!
She misunderstood the friendly manner of Jesus as him being attracted to her for intimate reasons, as she had know several men because of her hard life.
