Today's Lenten Devotional - Monday, March 9, 2026

 

Monday – March 9

Scripture: John 4:7–15

Jesus crosses boundaries—ethnic, religious, gendered—to speak with a Samaritan woman. Living water flows in unexpected directions.

The disciples are absent.  The conversation is intimate, disruptive, transformative.

Christ’s ministry consistently crosses lines society maintains.  Lent asks us: what boundaries remain unquestioned in our lives?

Living water is not tribal.  It is abundant.

Perhaps the Church’s calling in this moment is not to retreat into homogenous comfort but to lean into courageous encounter.

To drink living water is to become a source of refreshment for others.

Reflection Questions

  1. What boundaries shape my relationships?
  2. Who might God be calling me to engage?
  3. How has Christ refreshed my soul?
