“The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?” John 4:11-12
Regardless of what the Jewish people thought about the Samaritans, the Samaritan woman kept the Jewish heritage and continued to call Jacob her father. The Samaritan woman only needed to know that the Living Water is not something that can be drawn by using worldly utensils. Only by the remission of sin through Jesus Christ can we drink of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ gets the Living Water from the Spirit of God, and by the remission of sin the Living Water of the Holy Spirit is freely given to us. Jesus Christ is indeed greater than Jacob, Isaac, and even Abraham because He is the only Son of God. He is the Lamb of God sent to make atonement for sin. While Jesus is greater than Abraham, at the same time He was sent by God to fulfill the promise He made to Abraham. That promise is the expansion of the family of God through Jesus Christ.
Before the Lord Jesus, there was no way to access the Living Water and it is a deep well within the soul. There was a curtain hung up within us which separated the human spirit from the Spirit of God, and no one could pass through that curtain. As soon as Jesus breathed His last breath on the Cross, His sacrifice for the atonement for sin was complete and the curtain was torn from top to bottom,
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Matthew 27:50-53
We are the temple of God, and the veil has been torn in two so that we now have access to fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit. The access to the Spirit of God is the Water of Life which flows when we come to the Lord Jesus for the remission of sin.
The governing system of today wants to put a seal over the well to prevent people from drinking the Water of Life. They want the temple of God, our body, to be governed by the thing which forms what we think, feel, say and do. It enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people while blaspheming God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and trampling on the Holy Spirit. As it lives and speaks through people, they are conformed to their place in life, their mark in life. They are groomed to the mark of the beast and will never be able to access the Living Waters of Holiness within the Spirit of Christ.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
