He Knows You

The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”  John 4:17, 18

Watching a show last night, I made the observation that this executive of a large organization had something we might call 'professional nice'. He spoke politely, but I could tell that he was not really interested in the person. In the nature of such high-level executives, he wanted to get the job done and move on to other important tasks. Now this is not to lay any blame on the man, in his position he will have to meet a great many people. To keep his sanity, the executive will have learned to categorize them quickly and move forward to the next meeting. Only a few friends, competitors, and people important to his job will get more than the 'professional nice' of his trade. Which makes it all the more remarkable when the highest executive to ever visit the Earth knows you or me. 

The King of kings and Lord of lords had time for this woman. And there he was in our verse today telling this woman at a well near Sychar all about her life. That this woman would go on to testify that Jesus knew everything she ever did shows us that the husbands fact was only a high-level summary. He knew her.

And He knows you too!
