Jesus also displayed the human aspect of Himself, truly both the Son of God and the Son on Man. Jesus’ question sparked a series of conversations with the Samaritan woman. It was purposeful as Jesus wanted to show her true state and condition and by doing so, He was also showing her the way out of her current predicament.
