What well is Jesus calling you to visit?
Jesus lived in a world that was filled with division, including division that was often violent. His response to this is very curious; he meets a woman at a well. Here he begins to build a bridge with somebody who is totally other than himself (John 4).
Jesus is content to play the long, slow game of stitching back the frame fabric of humanity, one person, one family, one village at a time. We learn from the interaction of Jesus and the woman how we too can be bridge builders. The start of this process is meeting someone at the well and finding a common ground with them.
The artwork comes from a Via Latina Catacomb Fresco, 340 – 350 AD (Italy)
