The Good News Today Is...we are offered living water. The Samaritan women at the well was offered the living water by Jesus, even though the disciples would have excluded her. She was a Gentile, unclean, unbelieving - yet Jesus offered her the living water that would have her thirst no more. Where we would exclude Jesus would include.
"He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in."
(Edwin Markham)
We must learn to draw a bigger, more inclusive circle. The goal is that all should thirst no more, not just the ones inside our small circles.
