Poem
In the book of John it relates the history of Jesus' mission of Christian mercy when Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman near a drinking well it was a meeting between two nations whose relationship was one of hell the Jews and the Samaritans did not get along each felt the other's method of worship was inherently wrong separated by paganistic practices and supposed sins discrimination and name calling again, again and again yet it doesn't seem that much different than today's society where different ethnic groups display the same hate and hostility but Jesus interjected Himself, He came to intervene on a mission of mercy and tolerance never before seen to bring abundant love and life to a world cloaked in misery and give living water to quench the drought that has parched humanity to step from behind the stained glass windows of the churches and synagogues and into the hearts and minds of men and spread the goodness that is God John touched on a theme that's occurred several times in the Scriptures when a man of God meets a woman and a spiritual wedding can be pictured on a mission of mercy to cross that Great Divide to bring people together on the same spiritual side Jesus told that Samaritan woman He knew of her past about the five husbands that she had outlast but whether she was divorced or widowed from them it's not mentioned in the text so don't assume any sin but Jesus saw beyond that and looked into her heart He treated her with respect and held her in regard she knew He was a prophet by His very words she told Him of the things about Jews she had heard Jesus the Christ then went into His missionary mode He said in order to worship God you don't need any certain code as there is no specific time nor any special place for one to worship the God of righteousness, truth and grace a mission of mercy is what Jesus came to convey He even revealed to her who He really was that day mankind has a problem looking pass the surface and into the heart we can't seem to get the message that we're all equal in the eyes of God we come with our bigotry, prejudice and hate we can't even agree on the issue of faith but Jesus the Christ gave us a lasting legacy to love one another and to live life as a mission of mercy
