In this homily, The Rev. Dr. James E. Taylor, Rector of St. George Episcopal Church, tells us that Jesus treats the woman at the well as a whole person. He makes no judgment about her in any way. Jesus crossed barriers with His mission and message. In fact, the disciples were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. Jesus’ encounter impacted her so deeply, she told others, “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done!“ Jesus doesn’t say to her, "Go and sin no more," which implies he didn’t see her as sinful. But he saw her as a child of God in need and thirsty. In need of God’s spirit for acceptance and to be satisfied. Her self-worth is restored, and she has a new sense of dignity. Her spirit has been refreshed and her dignity restored."
