John 4:4, 13-14,18,26,31-37,39-42,44

Jesus had to go through Samaria to save the Samaritan woman and many of her villagers. He had to pass through Samaria to reap what He had sown in this woman and what she sowed in her villagers. The disciples had physical food to give to Jesus, but Jesus said, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me." Jesus needed to give His father's food to these people and His "living water." This food and living water can also be received today by coming to Jesus and asking Him to reveal Himself to us. When we experience Him intimately, we gain His food and living water forever into "eternity."
