And it wasn’t like it was the only time to make the choice. But it was the final time to make the choice.
Not understanding time, I do not know how long He had to think about doing this. But I have a feeling He got to think for a VERY long time. And, that alone, must have been difficult.
But to walk it out? It is unfathomable.
Romans 5 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
While we were still sinners.
We have so much to be grateful for.
And we owe it all to Him.
In the middle of our awkward attempt at life, He intervened.
And He intervened in a moment where it would have been very difficult.
He intervened when we were UGLY … and DISLOYAL … and NASTY. He intervened when we could not have been easy to save.
He intervened when we had hearts of PURE STONE. Ezekiel 36 says that He gives us a new heart.
He intervened when we were spiritually inadequate. Genesis 14 says He will bless us and replenish us.
He intervened when we were closest to death and outnumbered by our enemies. Psalm 23 says that He will comfort us in the midst of death.
He intervened when we were held captive by the evil ruler of hell. Matthew 16 says that even the gates of hell will not stand.
And He intervened to defeat the enemy for all time. Revelation 19 says that He will ride a white horse … and that our enemies shall not prosper.
And He intervened from beyond time. Revelation 22 says that He is the beginning … and the end.
As you celebrate Easter this 2026, let us not be calloused, or broken, or unaware.
Let us be fully aware of what He did … knowing even in the midst of this that we have NOT A CLUE.
In The Name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Jesus is seeking you out in the same way that He sought out a rejected woman at a well some 2000 years ago.
And when you understand this very important truth, you understand that you are saved for a purpose.
John 4
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.
6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. ) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” 16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
18 Jesus said to 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. What you have just said is quite true.” 19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am he.” 27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ ?”
30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
My point of emphasis on this passage of scripture is NOT about the fact that Jesus cut the humanistic ties with racism, misogyny, elitism, economic class, religious rules, and every other item that we, as humans, have created … Even though it could be.
My point of emphasis on this passage of scripture is NOT about forgiveness for all … Even though it could be.
My point of emphasis on this passage of scripture is NOT about the fact that Jesus claimed to be God … Even though it could be.
My point of emphasis on this passage of scripture is NOT about Jesus being the LIVING WATER … Even though it could be.
My point of emphasis is this:
YOU, just like the woman at the well, are saved for a purpose.
So if you lack Purpose, then check in with Jesus and connect with Him in a deeper way … because when He saves you He gives you purpose.
And if you are in need of saving, cry out to Him to be your Savior … He is worthy to save. And He has such a great purpose for you.
He is worthy … and He wants to put something on your life that is bigger than anything you could ever imagine or even ask for.
YOU … were saved for a purpose.
In The Name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
