Through this story, Jesus shows us how He is the bridegroom we’ve all been waiting for. He is the only one who can fulfil our deepest longings. The true husband the Samaritan woman has been searching for her whole life. If we grasp the truth that Jesus alone has living water to satisfy our souls, only then we can live satisfied lives. If we grasp this truth, then our earthly marriages will be transformed. They will no longer need to carry the load of meeting our deepest needs. Instead through Christ’s love we can tell the world a better story. A bigger story. The story of the ultimate marriage between Christ and His Church.
