Overview:
- Main theme: Jesus uses the ordinary (a cup of water) to reveal the extraordinary (living water /the Spirit).
- Gospel focus: The story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman (John 4) highlights boundary-crossing (ethnic, gender, moral, theological) and first public revelation of Jesus as the Messiah in John.
- Practical call: Lent as a season to pause, notice ordinary blessings, and ask whether our lives are still flowing with God's grace.
- Key stats cited: 2.2 billion people lack reliable safe drinking water; 3 days is typical human survival without water; local and natural examples (geyser counts, pools, etc.) emphasize how water draws us.
