Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’ … 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.) 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.’ JOHN 4:6–10 (NIV)

JESUS: THE UNEXPECTED

Jesus was long expected. But when and how and where and why He came were all unexpected. - JON BLOOM

Jesus, our loving King. The long-awaited Saviour of the world. Prophesied for centuries. Expected and anticipated by generations.

However, although He was expected, His life was anything but what people thought it would look like.

Whilst He was expected to be born in Bethlehem, no one expected Him to be born in the back cave of an inn. No one expected that in His ministry He would surround Himself with the broken, oppressed, ostracised sinners of society.

And no one expected He would be broken, beaten, rejected, hung on a cross and would die.

But the best bit is that no one expected our Saviour would defeat death and then rise again three days later! ALL FOR US!

Our Jesus, His life, was unexpected but it led to the amazing saving grace we can now proclaim! This week, together, lets marvel and reflect on the unexpected life of our gracious King who saved not only you and me, but the world!
