Jesus and the Samaritan Woman


CHAPTER 23

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

The water of life, the truth, an eternally flowing power (3-7).
The one who seeks earnestly finds the truth
- Examine those who talk about the truth - About the value of outer forms of worship - Who is the people of Israel today? - The New Jerusalem - The last covenant (16)

1. Jesus came into a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

2. Jacob's well was there. As Jesus was tired from His journey, He sat on the edge of the well. It was about the sixth hour.

3. And a woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, "Give me to drink. (For His disciples had gone to the city in order to buy food.)

4. And the Samaritan woman says to Him, "How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.)

5. Jesus answered, saying to her, "If you knew the gift of God and who says to you, 'Give Me to drink', you would have asked God who would have given you living water.

6. And the woman says to Him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; from where then have You that living water? Are you then greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it, he and his children and his camels and oxen and sheep?”

7. Jesus answered, saying to her, "The one who drinks of this water will thirst again. But the one who drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again, for the water that I will give him will spring up in him like a well of water into everlasting life.(Chap. 23:1-7)

 

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

The water of life flows more strongly into this world since My deeds as Jesus of Nazareth - and even stronger since My "It is finished”.

The one who drinks from the water of life draws from the spring of eternal truth, because he has returned to the primordial source of all Being. He will never thirst again, nor will he ever lack anything. He possesses what he needs and beyond that.

People in the Spirit of truth are themselves the spiritual well of the truth. They give and give - and never go dry, because the Spirit of God, which is active through them, is eternally flowing power, the origin of the spring and the spring itself, the truth.

Recognize: I Am the water of life. The one who makes My life as Jesus of Nazareth his life, by keeping what I have commanded him, will live in Me, the living water, and will be a well of living salvation from which the water of life flows unceasingly. Only then can he offer the true, fresh drink of living water to many people. Henceforth, they will no longer search for the truth, for they will have found the truth, the I Am. They will no longer thirst, for they drink from the eternal spring of truth.

The one who receives from the water of life does not remain a loner; nor does he swim with the tide of the old sinful time. He rows against it, by no longer supporting his human aspects, but by dissolving them through the power of love. This is how he finds in himself the eternity, the life, the truth, the primordial source, God.

In this way, the Era of Light and a new human race gradually emerge in Me, the Christ - people who will build up and maintain the Kingdom of Peace, for they themselves are peaceful.

 

8. Then the woman says to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not thirst, nor have to come here to draw. Jesus says to her, "Go, call your husband and come here. The woman answered, "I have no husband.

9. Jesus, looking upon her, says to her, "You have said correctly: 'I have no husband.' You have had five husbands and the one whom you now have is not your husband. You have spoken the truth.

10. Then the woman said to Him, "Sir, I recognize that You are a prophet. Our forefathers have prayed on this mountain and You say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

11. Jesus says to her, "Woman, believe Me, the time will come when you will worship God neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You do not know what you worship; but we know what we worship. For salvation comes from Israel.

12. But the time will come, and is already there, when the true worshippers will worship the All-Father in the spirit and in the truth. For the All-Holy wants to have such worshippers. God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in the spirit and in the truth.

13. Then the woman says to Him, "I know that the Messiah who is called Christ will come. When He comes, He will tell us everything. Jesus says to her, "I Am the One who speaks to you.

14. And meanwhile His disciples came and were surprised that He talked with the woman. Yet no one asked, "What do you seek?” Or, "Why do You talk with her?”

15. Then the woman left her jug, went her way into the city and said to the people, "Come and see a man who has told me all that I have ever done. Is this One not the Christ?”

16. Then they went out and came to Him, and many of the Samaritans believed in Him and asked Him to stay with them. And He stayed there two days. (Chap. 23:8-16)

 

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

The words of the one who speaks from the truth are eternal life. They are imbued with the life and the power which I Am in the Father-Mother-God. The one who earnestly seeks the water of life, the truth, finds his way to the person who is able to show him the path to the origin of the spring and finds the life, the truth, in his innermost being.

Words of life are words of truth. The one who lives according to the meaning of the living word fulfils the law of life and dwells in the Spirit of truth. Therefore, examine the people who speak of the spring of living salvation, whether they bring the water of life, the truth, or whether they only stand at the well of truth.

Recognize: Those who strive for the light gather where the light is. However, there are also many among them who only speak about truth while having dark things in mind. Therefore, in order to recognize their deeds, examine them by using the measure of your own honesty. Do not look to or listen to those who make impure speeches - not even when they call themselves "Rabbi”. Examine the meaning of their words and their behaviour towards their fellow man - and they will be an open book for you. People of the Spirit are modest, humble and meek, yet their being is irradiated and illuminated by the One, who I Am, Christ, the living water.

The one who lives in the truth lives from the truth, and perceives the truth and also sees the untrue. As Jesus of Nazareth, I saw the woman at the well with the eyes of the truth. I saw her past and present life. On that basis, I addressed what could have served her as recognition on that day.

At all times and also in today's time [1989], people created and create for themselves outer signs and symbols, in order to worship God. Man will create for himself these outer pictures, signs and symbols for worship, such as statues, synagogues, churches, squares, high places, mountains, as well as rites and ceremonies until he acknowledges God, the Spirit of truth, within himself and keeps the "temple-order” - the commandments of life.

Every human being is a temple of God. Therefore, a place to worship God is not needed. Worship God in the sanctum of your innermost being, and keep your temple pure with noble thoughts, with God-filled words and deeds; then you keep the "temple-order” - and God will answer your prayers, because you are in communication with Him.

In today's time [1989], too, many people do not yet know whom or what they worship. They are imitators of those who have created and uphold the cults, because they are still impoverished in their heart. They are in need of an outer god, because the true, almighty God, the God of the inner being, is strange to them. However, the outer god is never the God of truth, but an idol.

I explain the words, "For salvation comes from Israel”. Israel is where people fulfil God's will.

Today's Israel is no longer the Israel in which I lived as Jesus of Nazareth. It is nothing more than the name which this country still bears: A great many of the Israelites did not keep the covenant with God, nor did they accept Me as their Redeemer. For this reason, God, the Eternal, has renewed the covenant with some of the people who were once incarnated in ancient Israel and are incarnated in another country today and are still in the mission.

God, the Eternal, has now [1989] also made the covenant with those who were not incarnated in Israel at the time of My earthly existence, but have gone into the earthly garment again and again over the past centuries and have prepared the work of homebringing. Those, too, are in the Mission of Redemption. He also made the covenant with those people who, in the Work of Redemption, work towards the salvation of their fellow man, thus also taking part in the mission of the homebringing.

And so, Israel is where those people willing to fulfil the will of God in the Mission of Redemption are incarnated.

Many spirit beings from the great mission-potential for redemption were incarnated at the time of Moses and also at the time of My life on earth in old Israel. Sin has scattered many people who are in the mission of the Work of Redemption to the four winds. But now, I gather them once more in another country. It is there that the New Israel will be.

Even now [1989], many brothers and sisters are gathering in the country where the incarnated part-ray of divine wisdom teaches and is active: in the New Jerusalem. The Eternal has now made the last covenant with the brothers and sisters in the New Jerusalem, in the emerging Israel.

The people of God on this earth will become a mighty people. Therefore, more and more people are coming to make the eternal covenant with God. For I, Christ, call them - and they come. They gather to work for the New Era, the Era of Light. They no longer worship the Eternal in front of monuments and statues. They have no outer churches. They do not go on mountains to seek the Eternal, believing to find Him there. They have no ceremonies or rites. They worship the Eternal in their temple, in their inner being; for there dwells the eternal One, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Spirit of the eternal Father, whose children are all spirit beings, men and souls. Although they meet in places, it is not to seek God there, but to experience unity with one another and to pray together to the One who is the life: God, the Spirit of truth, who dwells in every spirit being, in every soul and in every human being.

God is also the Creator-Spirit who has created all Being, who lives in every plant, in every stone, in every animal, in every atom - in all Being. God is Spirit, and those who truly worship Him do it in the Spirit and in the truth, and they keep the laws.

Verily, I say to you: As Jesus I left you; as Christ, the resurrected One, I came to you, so that you may resurrect in Me, the Redeemer, in order to return again to God, the primordial stream.

Know: As Jesus I remained a long time with the people - as the Christ of God I dwell in you. And I stay in you eternally; for I Am in the eternal Father, and the Father is in Me, and We are the one Spirit of truth, which dwells in all men.
