"Go, call thy husband," is the first stroke in breaking up the surface of sin and revealing the foulness of the life beneath it. The woman answered Jesus and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” The stroke goes deeper. It lays bare the secrets of all those years over which she thought the veil of the past had forever been drawn. Before the Lord gives living waters, He must dig up every residue of sin. He digs a deep well. No hidden sin can continue.
