So often we fear that that God does not exist or at least God is not interested in us because of the mess of our world or because of the mess of our lives. The opposite is the case. It is in our pain, suffering and mess that God meets us and finds us! There is hope! It was in the disappointment of the woman at the well that the Samaritan woman of John chapter 4 found Jesus with the living water able to satisfy. It was at the pool of Bethesda that the man in his sickness found Jesus after 38 years of hopeless despair! It was in her sin condemned by mere religion that the woman of John chapter 8 found Jesus able to forgive and save. He is the only way, the only Saviour of sinners, the judge of all and the Saviour of those who come to Him by faith. Dr J Stewart Gillespie
