Its said that a chain is as strong as its weakest link. Is a nation as strong as its poorest citizen? A church as strong as its wealthiest member? There are so many food for thoughts and endless genealogies.
The land of Samaria is known as a multicultural race of people, phated by the Jews and located near Jacob’s well.
One day when Jesus was thirsty He headed for Jacob’s well. Even the root of a Jesse will sprout towards this life giving water.
If a multicultural race of people becomes the main stream and money was able to buy the power of the Holy Ghost, then Jesus would have been just another man in the life of the outcast Samaritan Woman.
The gospel of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost is the only identity of anyone said to be a true worshipper of God. The Spirit knows our spirit and cannot be fooled by anyone.
For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Blessed are the pure in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The mountain of Samaria and Jerusalem has no monopoly on the life giving water of Jesus Christ. We are His offspring of the root of Jesse.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
