Worshipers the Father Seeks

“The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” – John 4:18 Yesterday, we talked about the woman at the well who asked Jesus, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” Jesus replied, “Go, call your husband and come back.” She answered, “I have no husband.” With that response, she revealed her personal situation. Jesus didn’t judge or condemn her—instead, He revealed something deeper about her life and His understanding. He told her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.” This shows Jesus’ deep understanding and compassion toward her. At this moment, the woman is taken aback and humbled.
