The Seven Sayings to the Woman at the Well

In John 4 we see Christ, the great Workman, at work: the One who was Perfect God and perfect man. As man He was wearied and sat on the well . But as Lord He knew what His enemies had heard and thought: and He knew also of this one lost sheep in Samaria who must needs be saved. Seven times the Lord opens His lips; and seven times He addresses the woman of Samaria. From His first utterance to the last, the wondrous skill of the Divine Workman is seen, and all is exquisite in Divine order.
