Identity Crisis

In John 4:11-12, the Samaritan woman questions Jesus' identity and his authority. She asks “Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” She was having a bit of an identity crisis; struggling with her own identity as well as with the identity of Christ. The woman did not consider that Jesus was the onl one able to give her the living water that she desperately needed; she only saw Jesus as a traveller at the well at the hottest hour of the day, thirsty without a ladle to draw water out of the deep well.
