                                             IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY PART IX

 I, a Samaritan woman, am living in Sychar in Samaria.... I had gone to the well to draw water.... While there I had met a Jewish Man.... He had begun to speak to me...Our initial conversation had been about water.... He had even spoken of "living water".... I wanted to know more about this "living water"... But the Man then suddenly changed subjects.... He began to talk about my personal life.... He asked me to fetch my husband..... That was a very painful subject for me.... He could not know, of course, my personal history..... How could He know?.... He has only met me a few minutes ago...He could not know that I have been married not once, not twice, not three times, not even four times, but five times.... And the man I now live with is not my husband... So technically speaking I do not have a husband... I tried to tell that to Him... But He then shocked me to  my core when He revealed facts about my life to me I did not expect Him to know....Who can this Man be?... Please read the typed out attachment when Jesus reveals  to the Samaritan woman specific detals  about her life....

Jesus next shocks the Samaritan woman even further by telling her the true situation about her marital status as you can read in John 4:17b-18

Jesus said to her, "You are right when you said 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 said is quite true."

The Samaritan woman begins to realise that the Person in front of her cannot be an ordinary Jew to have known all these facts about her life.
