Day 153..."Don't call us we will call you...who said pronoucing names right is not important...Jesus crosses barriers and offers living water"

Jephthah was the son of a prostitute and received cold treatment from his brothers. Israel did need Jephthah, when the conflict came with the Ammonites. This story resembles Joseph and his brothers a bit. In the end, Jephthah prevailed by the power of God for Israel. Then a password of shorts made for another interesting story..."And when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” When he said, “No,” they said to him, “Then say Shibboleth,” and he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it right." The fugitives of Ephraim were stuck in a lie. The Lord hates six things says the Proverb..."There are six things that the Lord hates,seven that are an abomination to him:haughty eyes, a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans,feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies,and one who sows discord among brothers." Jesus crosses three barriers in the life changing story of the woman at the well. 1) Speaking to a woman which was not the custom of the day. 2) Speaking to a Samaritan who was despised by the Jews. 3) Talking to a woman of questionable character with five husbands. Jesus offers to this woman the "water of life" and she is so excited she leaves her water bottle behind. Jesus is the living water!
