Water is so important to our physical lives.
We can live without food for many days, but without water for only a few days. Whenever our national security is in danger, one of the things most closely watched is our water supply. Water was even more precious in the days of Jesus. These were dry places and Jesus knew that we experienced dry places in our souls as well. It includes the disciples coming in and showing astonishment that he would be talking to a woman, and about the woman leaving her water jar with what she came to the well in the first place to get, and running to tell others what has happened.
