In Lecture 5 of the Gospel of Saint John, we encounter one of the most profound and unexpected moments in Scripture: Jesus’ meeting with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well.
- Why did Jesus deliberately travel through hostile territory?
- Why does John emphasize that it was the sixth hour?
- Why does the conversation unfold so strangely?
This lecture explores the deep symbolism behind the encounter:
- The living water of the Spirit
- The seventh man and the true Bridegroom
- Worship in spirit and truth
- The first successful missionary encounter in the Gospel of John
What begins as an awkward conversation becomes a revelation of Christ as Savior of the World — and the transformation of a broken woman into Saint Photina, Equal to the Apostles.
This lecture reveals how Christ overturns expectations, heals ancient divisions, and calls each of us to drink from the living water that leads to eternal life.
