well as the faith, religion
1:40
and church founded to honor

and disseminate His acts and

1:46
Vignette, on this fascinating journey through time,
1:50
exploring the many great works
1:52
of Christian theology, literature, architecture,
1:55
music and art, inspired
1:57
by the words and deeds of Jesus
1:59
Christ. of Jesus Christ. A
2:11
Prayer to Rest and Remember This Holy Wednesday,
2:14
written and read by Chris Eight. Jesus
2:18
answered her, If ye knew the
2:20
gift of God, and who it is that asks you
2:22
for a drink, you would have
2:25
asked him, and he would have given you living
2:27
water. Sir, the woman said, ye
2:29
have nothing to draw with, and the well is
2:31
deep. Where can ye get this
2:33
living water? Are ye greater than
2:35
our Father Jacob, who gave us the
2:37
well and drank from it himself, as
2:40
did also his sons and his livestock? Jesus
2:43
answered, Every one who drinks
2:45
this water will be thirsty again, but
2:47
whoever drinks the water I give them will
2:49
never thirst. Indeed, the water
2:52
I give them will become in them
2:54
a spring of water, welling up to
2:56
eternal life. John 4,
2:58
verses 10-13. I
3:02
was looking on YouTube recently and looked up my
3:04
old university. I came across a
3:06
very old video by chance, in which someone
3:09
mentioned me by name. It
3:11
was rather strange suddenly having this window back
3:13
in time, and it brought back
3:15
a number of memories, good and bad. We
3:18
all have our life stories, don't we? The
3:21
Samaritan woman at the well certainly did, and
3:23
there's a reason why Jesus spent time with
3:25
her. That's an important
3:27
point to remember, Jesus never
3:29
did anything without a reason. This
3:32
woman had kept burdens for many years, but
3:35
perhaps felt that she had led a number
3:37
of parallel lives and accents, involving
3:39
different men in various points throughout
3:41
her adulthood. She
3:44
had become a caricature of her real self, creaking
3:46
from wells to slaking in a
3:48
thirst by never being satisfied. By
3:51
a pilot she had lost her identity, and
3:54
in the process her heart had become burdened. And
3:57
Then she meets this man where she goes to fetch
3:59
water. But. He is not like other men. This.
4:02
Is the Hollywood. Had a voice
4:04
or to drink from a spiritual well. Which.
4:06
Is so deep and so satisfying that it
4:09
was up to eternal life. She.
4:11
Is stunned by the stranger to taken
4:13
by feals, esses and his presence to
4:15
sit and simply took with him. She.
4:18
Has space and time. To tell
4:20
him everything to rest with him. Perhaps.
4:23
He can tell him things. That. She'd never
4:26
been able to say to other people. This.
4:28
American women found at
4:30
last. Someone. To listen to
4:32
her story. Since.
4:34
Jesus was very willing to listen to
4:37
her tail, but there was it. condition.
4:39
She. Had to listen to historian turn.
4:42
And. That story was and is the
4:44
word of life transforming everything. Surely.
4:48
The Reverend Francis rosie some this
4:50
story above or stories perfectly in
4:52
this him move eighteen eighty six.
4:56
I. Will sing the wondrous story of
4:58
the Christ. He died for me. How.
5:01
He left his home in glory for
5:03
the Cross of Calgary. I.
5:05
Was lost by Jesus. Found the.
5:08
Found. The sheet that went straight. Through.
5:10
His lobby arms around me. Crew.
5:13
Me back into his way. This
5:16
Holy Wednesday we are invited Just
5:18
like the Samaritan women. To.
5:20
Rest and remember Jesus and his
5:22
story of salvation for us. We
5:25
contemplate to receive his invitation to
5:27
eternal life. Guaranteed. To the
5:30
Cross and resurrection. Be. Remembered
5:32
see that he was tempted for forty days
5:34
and forty nights. The. Lord
5:36
understand human frailties. Because.
5:39
He has personally experienced it. We.
5:41
Have no hope and ourselves, but we can rest
5:43
just like the woman at the Well. And
5:46
remember the savior who pulled out his own
5:48
body for us to stand up intuit everlasting
5:50
life. Let. Us
5:52
pray. For. The
5:54
