As had so often happened, Jesus and His disciples had been travelling around the countryside. No catching a bus or train for them. Their only means of transport was donkey or walking. The disciples were now hungry and went into the village to buy food. Jesus foot-sore and weary needed rest.
Nothing happens by co-incidence with Jesus. We read ‘He had to go through Samaria.’ There was an alterative, but by divine intervention the route had to be through this unfriendly country. Jesus just happened to sit by a well where a certain woman came to draw water. We know that at the end of the story ‘many Samaritans believed.’
Jesus was divine but also human and reading through the gospels we catch glimpses of His humanity. On this occasion He was tired, often He showed compassion on those who were weak and suffering. In the temple He was angry at those who who were making His house into a den of thieves. He looked at Jerusalem and wept and at the death of Lazarus He also wept. His emotions could clearly be seen just by a look; think of Peter’s denial. He loved little children and gathered them round Him.
I’m glad that Jesus was human, so He can understand my small troubles and pains. I’m happy that He is divine, so He has the power to redeem me from my sins. 1
100% human and 100% divine.
