The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. John 4:25,26.
Jesus had to veil His words in parables and symbols when speaking to His own people. Their passions were easily aroused against a Messiah who did not come to satisfy their lust for power. Many would be enraged as they saw that the God of Abraham had a tender compassion for all of mankind. The Jews worshiped Jehovah in name but the majority served the spirit of Satan in reality through their national lust for self exaltation.
But when Jesus spoke to the outcast Samaritan woman He spoke in clear terms. "I that speak unto thee am he (The Christ)." To all who seek a Savior from sin Jesus will speak with such clarity. He said... the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:23. Will you respond to God's tender call today, acknowledging the man of Galilee "I that speak unto thee am he (Jesus the Christ)."
