John 2-4

John 4:25-26

The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us." Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am He."

I'm sure there was much more of the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman than what John records. Perhaps Jesus did really explain everything to her. Or at least the "everything" she needed to know to understand who He was in order that she would believe in Him. It sure seems that the coming of the Christ had been something she was waiting for.

Jesus didn't rebuke her or tell her that her expectation was unrealistic.

I know Christ has come and spoke and still speaks through His Word and the Holy Spirit and His people. And if the woman's words are correct, that He will explain everything when he comes, the question for me is am I listening? I know that the explination to everything in my life, the bad circumstances, the question about His will for me, the solutions to problems, all of these are found in His speaking. Just as I'm sure was the case with that woman, I need to sit on the edge of my seat and soak in every word of His that I can. I need to search out the explinations and not just wait around for one as if Christ had not yet come.
