Jesus encountered a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well in Sychar, in the shadow of Mt. Gerazim. This was the place that Moses told the people to gather when the entered the promised land and observe a covenant renewal. Six tribes were to gather on Mt. Gerazim and proclaim blessings that attend faithful living and worship. The other six tribes were to gather on Mt. Ebal, where there would be constructed an altar of uncut stones representing atonement for sin. There, the tribes were to proclaim the curses that attended disobedience. Mt. Gerazim became a special worship place for the Samaritans in the intertestamental period. This passage deals with salvation. The unrighteous, notorious woman testified to her town of her deliverance from sin, and many in the town came to trust in Jesus as the promised messiah. Truly, it is more appropriate for worship to take place on Mt. Ebal. This brings forth the question: "What is true and false worship?" Does the location matter? We tend to change the testimony to suit what seems right to us. True worship follows God's revelation. The Samaritans were forbidden to worship at the temple in Jerusalem. In the temple was the ark of the covenant containing the law of God, covered by the mercy seat on which the blood sacrifice would be sprinkled, picturing the atonement in Christ. The Jews were called to be a light to the nations, yet they perceived themselves as the light of God themselves. Paul exhorts us to hold onto the testimony of salvation in humility. He pointed out that branches can be cut off from the tree. All ages need covenant renewal. The kingdom of God is all in Christ. Jesus' answer to the woman speaking about the messiah to come was "I am," the covenant name of God. He is the focus of our worship. He is the mercy seat. He is the propitiation for the guilt of our sin. ... See MoreSee Less

From Egypt, Joseph’s brothers return to Jacob in Canaan. They tell Jacob that the Egyptian ruler (the unknown brother Joseph) wants them to bring back Benjamin to join Simeon as a hostage to atone for thievery (really a scheme). Jacob has been suffering through a famine and is now facing the loss of a third son, Benjamin, who was supposed to carry on the patriarchal line. He already suspected his 10 sons of doing away with Joseph years ago. Now he feared imprisonment and death in a foreign land. God provides an answer to Jacob’s despair. In Latin, we would call this an example of Deus pro nobis, or God with us. As Paul tells us in Romans 8, if God is for us, who can stand against us? When we are in trouble, we look for someone of esteem to testify on our behalf. Paul says that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of Christ. God certainly has the power to deliver Jacob from his distress. Our God of providence foresees the future. He is emphatically pro nobis. We live under His sovereign care, and He is intimately acquainted with all of us. He cares for beauty in creation, and He has special care over His children. God can transform evil intent for good; He can turn darkness into light. Yet, His providence must be lived out, and we must remain steadfast in trouble. Sometimes we experience severe mercies. His grace will always be sufficient. In this world, we will have tribulation, but also the promised Comforter, the Holy Spirit. His love will not let us go, so we must not exaggerate our circumstances. Jacob’s story ends well, as he experiences a reunion with his long lost son, Joseph. Thanks be to God for His abundant mercies. ... See MoreSee Less

In the Bible, we find two kinds of famines: food and spirituality. In 2 Kings, we find a famine in the value of human life. Elisha was blamed for a food famine and was brought in to answer for it. He foresaw that the very next day, food would be cheap, but that the messenger would not live to see it. The question for us here is, "Will we seek to do what God wants?" Stated another way, "Will we obey when His word is clear?" The scene changes to a group of lepers outside the city gate. There was nothing in the city for them to beg for, so they had nothing to lose by going to the besieging Syrians. What they found was God's mercy. The Syrians had fled in fear of God's army, leaving all their food and wealth behind. After reveling a while in their good fortune, God brought a moment of conscience to the lepers. They told the king, who suspected a Syrian trap and sent two messengers out on what he supposed would be a suicide mission. God showed mercy to a wicked king and gave the lepers the words of life. We see here that God uses sinners in bringing the words of life. The woman at the well in Sychar got the good news from Jesus and believed. Back in town, she was not a welcome messenger, whose words were always suspect. Yet, shortly many believed her testimony of the good news. Like the woman at the well, we have good news to tell, and we exhort those we meet to come and check it out. We hold to the free proclamation of the Gospel, which God commands to be heard by everyone. The Gospel of Grace is a free gift from God. Christ the cornerstone can be a firm foundation to those who believe, or a crusher to those who don't. God is sovereign in salvation. ... See MoreSee Less

We see here a demonstration of the wickedness of the Syrian king. He didn’t care whether or not his general was healed from leprosy. Then, as in our time, where has gratitude gone? We forget about God’s sovereignty, and we need to be grateful for His blessings to us. Elisha knew the Syrians plans, and they suspected a leak. They encircled Dothan, where Elisha was, at night. Elisha knew that God was on his side. We, likewise, must remember always that we are safe in God’s hands. The king of Israel listened to Elisha and followed his direction. God delivered Israel from Syria. Angels led the struck-blind army away. Elisha prayed for their eyes to be opened, and commanded that they be fed and let go. This is a picture of spiritual warfare, rather than physical. God changed Syria’s approach, and brought physical salvation to Israel. How do we deal with those who disagree with us? God humbles us when we least expect it. We know of another spiritual salvation, in Jesus Christ. We can lead blind people to Christ, people who may be our enemies. We must be kind and open our mouths to proclaim the Gospel message. ... See MoreSee Less
