In Sychar of Samaria at the 6th hour (i.e., either 6 P.M. Roman time or noon Jewish), Jesus was at Jacob’s well when a Samarian woman approached him.

He is the fountain of living waters (Jer.

The Spirit gives life (John 6.63).
b.
We receive the Spirit at baptism (Acts 2.38).

1.
With it, one can be permanently satisfied (Matt.
5.6).
2.      One will never again hunger nor thirst (Isa.
49.10; cf.
Rev. 7.16).
3.      One will then have “the abundant life” (John 10.10).
E.      The living water is available to all who thirst.

2.      Jesus died for all (cf.
