John 4

Jesus on His way from Judaea to Galilee was so wearied with His journey that He took a break near Jacob’s well in the city of Sychar, Samaria. It was the practice, for women to come to the well with their pots and fetch water for their daily needs but only at stipulated times. Women considered immoral in the society and those living in adultery were allowed access to the well only during the hottest part of the day. Jesus timed his visit perfectly, just to meet the Samaritan woman, whom He knew in His Spirit was dry and empty within herself.

When Moses was grown up, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter but chose to share the ill-treatment with his people than to enjoy his exuberant life style in the palace. He was burdened within himself that he should alleviate the sufferings of his people who were living under the bondage of slavery. On one such occasion, when he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, he took the law into his own hands by killing the Egyptian and hiding him in the sand.
