Today’s text follows Jesus offering living water to a woman at the well – but in doing so – Jesus first needs to expose her deepest issue that will keep her from receiving it – SHAME. Shame covers people and constantly says to people, “you didn’t just do wrong, BUT you are wrong.” And this is how shame becomes our identity and keeps us from receiving living water. When “I am wrong” becomes WHO I AM–hiding becomes my reality. So here Jesus uncovers shame in this woman her, so she can truly receive real life in His name!
