You Don’t Know Me but There is One Who Does

The woman at the well isn’t about how many husbands the woman has had.

It is about:

• judgment
  • judging others for their sins
  • seeing their past and not the person
• unforgiveness
  • not getting past others mistakes
  • holding their sins against them
• unacceptance
  • not getting to know someone for who they are
  • refusing to see past the sin to the sinner
• not loving the way Christ teaches us to love
  • 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
  • if we don’t love this way then everything we do is meaningless

The woman at the well is real and alive today. She is me yet she is also you. We are all the woman at the well. We have all sinned and been judged for those sins. We have been held back from our true potential because of others words, glances, and even perceived thoughts. We feel as though we are not as good as other people because of our mistakes.

Now is the time to cry out to Jesus Christ, the only one who knows us. The only one who can save us from our carrying others judgment of us. You may think you know me but you don’t. You only see what you want and don’t take the time to dig deeper. No, you don’t know me, because if you did you would see me as Christ sees me and not how you want me to be.

There is One who sees me for who I am. He’s my Rock, my Fortress. He’s my Lord, Savior, and Salvation…Jesus Christ. He knows all that I am and will be. Your condemnation does not stop me it only draws me closer to Him. My daily salvation, Jesus. Exodus 14:13,14 (Amplified) says “…Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today…The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.”

Easter is next weekend. I will be celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ: the Son of God who died and rose again for my sins; The Son of Man who wiped my slate clean. All I had to do was ask for forgiveness. Easy isn’t it? Sure it’s easy. Jesus sees me for who I am and my spot in Heaven is reserved. It’s here on earth that I have to live with the condemnation of others. Some of those others are my fellow Christians. I can’t change that nor can I change them.

I can change myself with the help of Jesus. As the Psalmist declares, He is my Rock and my Fortress. Therefore, He is my protection. You can’t take Him from me. With your words you try to tear me down and with His hands He lifts me up. You aim to hurt me yet He aims to heal me. I urge you to leave from the well a changed person; one who is changed by the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.
