"The Key"

"Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither." (John 4:16 KJV)

  "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." (Hebrews 4:12-13 KJV)

  Sometimes we fail to respond as we should, so the Lord might need to unlock a little door, to get the main point of what He is trying to say, shall we say, a little deeper into the heart of the matter! You can think of this what you want, because the table is wide open on this one. If however you don't want to believe that Jesus is working to expose her need for salvation, then you have missed most of the points thus far, (no pun intended). 

  I have had several discussions with men about the seriousness of the man's role in marriage; how it is that man's love towards his wife that will ensure for the strong and successful marriage. You can imagine the push-back that I have received; some of which became quite ugly. Sure, I get the point of some, as it is only human for the woman to sin, as well as the man; but this point is weak and has no standing. If you really love your wife as Christ loves the church, if that is even possible, then your marriage will stand! 

  Anywho, this is about a totally different subject; one that involves a woman that needs to be loved. You know, like that song, "I need to know what love is," not the kind of love which is based upon need or being satisfied; but the kind of love that captivates and stands strong, even when everything else falls away. 

  Then again, maybe Jesus just wanted her husband to help explain living water to her; or to have her get her husband so they both could hear what He was saying, and could talk about it together once they were home and had time to let it sink in. Then again, maybe God actually really knows all things...

"Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall he not know? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity." (Psalms 94:7-11 KJV)
