John 4: 7-42

The conversation that Jesus had with the Samaritan woman at the well has always struck me as particularly significant and fascinating, as well as very down-to-earth. First, Jews had no dealings with Samaritans,who were considered "half-breeds" by the Jews. Second, speaking to a woman especially one who was known to have a "reputation" was a big taboo for a male Jew in the first century. Jesus was unconcerned about cultural taboos, tradition, or for that matter, his own reputation. He was concerned about the lost. He came to seek and to save the lost. The vessels in the picture represent all the various kinds of people who receive the living water. The red intermingled with the gushing cascade symbolizes the blood of Christ. At the last supper, He said, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins."
