In the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, we encounter a powerful truth: the God who fully sees us is also the God who loves and saves us.
This Gospel passage is not a story of condemnation but of recognition. Jesus meets a weary and vulnerable woman with compassion, revealing that true transformation begins when we allow ourselves to be seen by God as we truly are.
Lent invites us into that same honesty before God. Rather than striving to prove ourselves worthy, we discover that God’s grace meets us precisely in our weakness.
As Rev. Dorothy Budd reflects on this encounter, we are reminded that being seen by Christ opens our eyes to who He truly is—and calls us to share that hope with others.
