What do you see?

I'm enjoying a week of vacation. It's an opportunity to return to a place I haven't been since I was a teenager. Of course it has changed a lot. But has it changed more than me? The buildings have changed a lot, but the big blue beautiful Atlantic Ocean is still there. I am continuing to reflect on John 4. On Sunday, we took a look at the meeting between Jesus and a Samaritan woman at a well outside of Sychar. John provides a great lesson that is much deeper than the emerging testimony of the Samaritan woman. It fits into John's liturgy of how Jesus helps the blind learn to see. Learn from the Master. Jesus saw a woman who was thirsty for a life change. The disciples didn't see her that way at all. Jesus saw a city that needed a Christ. The disciples were looking for a Piggly Wiggly to pick up some Milk and eggs and bag of chips. Jesus was focused on the big constant. People need a Savior. The disciples were focused on their own momentary needs.
