The wells of our life
On another level, the story illustrates the value of returning to the original sources. Isaac could have dug new wells. Instead he chose to restore Abraham’s wells. He could have chosen new names. Instead he chose to use the same names that Abraham had given them.
In a similar way, the biblical path of faith is not one of innovation and novelty. The latest and greatest, new and improved spirituality does NOT exist. The wells of enlightened, relevant, or “woke” spirituality give a delusional drink from a defiled well.
Instead, we find our spirits satisfied drinking from the wells of faith from which our fathers drank. When the Master offered the woman at the well the living water of salvation, he spoke not of literal water, but of salvation—yet He offered that living water to her at Jacob’s well.
The journey into Messianic Judaism is much like Isaac’s journey back to the wells of his father Abraham. These original sources have been filled in and concealed by time and hostile Philistines. The Sabbath has been lost. The holy days have been forgotten. The Torah itself has been, as it were, filled in with earth. It is necessary for us to re-dig those old wells to recover that which was lost so many centuries ago. We need to get back to the basics.
