Jesus<Messiah, With The Woman At The Well

In a sense Jesus is now my Husband.  Jesus is mercy incarnate; mercy of deep, unfathomable power.  Some of the most beautiful words I've ever read are from Hosea Chapter 2 in the ISV translation.  "IT WILL COME ABOUT AT THAT TIME" DECLARES THE LORD, "THAT YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS 'MY HUSBAND, AND YOU WILL NO LONGER CALL ME 'MY MASTER.' (v. 16)   "I WILL MAKE YOU MY WIFE FOREVER-- I WILL MAKE YOU MY WIFE IN A WAY THAT IS RIGHTEOUS, IN A MANNER THAT IS JUST, BY A LOVE THAT IS GRACIOUS, AND BY A MOTIVE THAT IS MERCY.  I WILL MAKE YOU MY WIFE BECAUSE OF MY FAITHFULNESS, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE LORD" (v.19,20)   "I WILL SHOW MERCY (from God) ON HER WHO RECEIVED NO MERCY (from man)... AND THEY WILL SAY 'YOU ARE MY GOD.' (v. 23b,d)

FOR YOUR MAKER IS YOUR HUSBAND; THE LORD OF THE HEAVENLY ARMIES IS HIS NAME, AND THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IS YOUR REDEEMER; HE IS CALLED THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.  FOR THE LORD HAS CALLED YOU BACK.. (Is. 54:5,6a)
