So, this is a new blog that is actually going to follow a basic idea. If you read into the heading you can already tell what this blog is going to be. This is going to be a blog not just about what I've done, who I've been, God's revealing to me, and me running to go tell people who God is. In fact, it will be an expansion on that. It is to reveal who we all are, what we've all done, and how God reveals himself to all of us. Just like Jesus revealed to the Samaritan woman that he knew she did not have a husband, but indeed has had five and the man she was with now was not her husband. He also asked this woman for a drink from the well, and in exchange he would give her water in which she would never become thirsty again from. Upon this the woman asks Jesus how he'd get this water as he had nothing to draw water from the well with. When Jesus revealed to her that he knew about her husbands she runs to go tell the villagers "Come see a man who has told me all the things I ever did." I note that she runs, not a slow walk, and in the process leaves her water pot. What this is suggesting is that she dropped her initial goal and left all she had to go spread the news of the Jew that could tell of things that would not be naturally known. Later on it notes when she returns that she believed in the promise of the Messiah, and would be a person, and would be a teacher, not a great military conqueror. She proceeds to ask the question "This couldn't be the Christ, could it?" She left it open to the others to believe what they wanted, but the seed had been planted in her mind that the Messiah might have come at last. She presents people with all the information she knew and had to leave it at that. This blog is to expose us as humans, in what we've done and who we are, and to do the best possible to reveal God's majesty to all. I'm ready to run, not walk, to tell of this great and marvelous God.
