In John 4 Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well and has a

noteworthy discussion with her. This passage has often been used to depict

Jesus as the Great Women's Liberator. But, is this really what this passage

teaches us? We will dig into the history of the Samaritans and their

relationship with the Jews to gain insight into the liberation Jesus offers

to all people of all the nations. We are also introduced to "living water",

and called higher as we learn of Jesus' food: to do the will of the

Father.
