Nothing to Draw With?

John 4:11 KJV
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

The thing that makes the difference between the believer and the non-believer is that the believer recognizes that Jesus has everything He needs "to draw with."

I understand that the woman had not yet grasped the difference between Jacob's well there before her and the living water Jesus was speaking of; but that only emphasizes what I think is her problem at this point. She sees Jesus as just another man, perhaps a teacher, maybe a prophet, but certainly not Almighty.

Nothing to draw with?
He spoke the worlds into existence

Nothing to draw with?
He upholds all things by the word of His power

Nothing to draw with?
He is the eternal, self existent, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God

Of course He has what He needs to draw with!

He can reach into the resources of glory and draw out the salvation of every soul who will come to Him.

The difference between the Christian who rests in Christ and the Christian who stresses in this life is found right here;

• One sees Christ as fully sovereign and capable of reaching into the deepest wells of eternity to meet our needs and


• The other looks at Christ as Saviour of sins, but nearly helpless against the forces of this world.

Look at Christ again.
He has not come to the well of our lives unprepared. He has everything He needs to reach into that deep well, and work all things together for good.
