Jesus and the Shameful Woman

When we look back on our story, there are often sins we have done or situations we have been in that make a deep impact on our lives. These moments become stakes in the ground that hold us captive from living the life Jesus intends for us. As we encounter Jesus, he reveals these past situations and present sins to heal the wounds of our hearts. As he takes these out, living water can flow in us and through us. When he saves us from our sin and shame, this becomes the story we share of his love and grace.
