• The heart of the Saviour, rejected by men and oppressed by the unbelief of His people, opens to let that fullness of grace flow out which finds its occasion in the necessities and not in the righteousness of men. (“John 4” by J.N. Darby)
• If thou hadst known that God gives freely, and the glory of His Person who was there, and how deeply He had humbled Himself, His love would have been revealed to thy heart, and would have filled it with perfect confidence, in regard even to the wants which a grace like this would have awakened in thy heart. (“John 4” by J.N. Darby)
• Christ is the best of all as the revelation of God in grace, giving all that is wanted, producing (not seeking) what should be. (“John 4” by W. Kelly)
• He is not commanding man to love Him, but proclaiming His love to man―yea, to the most wretched of sinners. He is not requiring the creature’s righteousness, but revealing His own. (“John 4” by W. Kelly)
• It is the revelation of God to man in Him who, though the Son of God, stooped so low to bless the most needy and defiled and distant from God as to ask a drink of water, that He might in this find the occasion to give even to such a one living water. (“John 4” by W. Kelly)
• For grace, truly known in Christ, produces confidence in grace, and draws out the heart to ask the greatest boon of Him who will never be below, but above, the highest position that can be conferred on Him. Never can it be that the faith of man equals, still less surpasses, the riches of the grace of God. (“John 4” by W. Kelly)
