Our lives experience moments of spiritual insight and breakthroughs that dramatically lurch us forward in our spiritual maturity. Such was this moment with the woman at the well. Previously she had known something about theology, but now she had a glimmer of insight into the Son of God.
Before, this woman had discussed concepts about God, now she was speaking face to face with Him. There is a world of difference! As she conversed with Jesus, her eyes were gradually opened to the profound reality of God’s presence in her life. This was no ordinary discussion!
Christ wants to enter such conversations with you. As you present your thoughts and questions to Him, He will gradually help you gain a clearer vision of Him. He will not allow you to remain merely in the world of speculation. He will move you into a clearer and deeper understanding of Himself. Ultimately theology is not speculation on doctrines, but an understanding of the truths of God Himself.
Never stop short of Christ! Don’t merely read books about God for your information, but always for your transformation. Don’t simply inform Christ of your doctrinal beliefs. Listen for His response. One word from Christ to your life can change everything!
