THE 7TH MAN

WHEN we review the story of the woman at the well there are some things we fail to notice. For instance she had three things against her... First she was a Samaratan whom the Jews called dogs and had no dealings with... 2nd she had a bad reputation as she had been married many times and was noe living with a man without marriage and 3rd she was a woman. She couldn't even go to the well when the other women did because they shunned her presence. She had to go later. Also she had 7 men and none satisfied her....none filled the empty place in her spirit...none offered her peace, but when the 7th man showed up (Jesus), he did not condemn her. He let her know he knew her situation and offered her peace and sent her out as the first evangelist... To preach the Messiah whom she met at the well ...to tell the town what she had had seen. I find it interesting that Jesus does not pick who the church crowd would pick. I also find it interesting that when He was resurrected He chose to talk with Mary first. He also chose her to be an evangelist to take back the message of his resurrection. She also was a harlot before she came to Him. He gave them both living water and they sold out to Him. Have you met the 7th man?
