at the well: salvation-history being fulfilled

This previous post mentions aspects of the salvation-historical themes present in Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well. Especially striking is the repeated disclosure that, in Jesus, salvation history finds its fulfilment (see vv.21-23 in particular).


Preparing to preach on vv.27-42, it struck me that the harvest note that Jesus sounds is entirely suited to the fulfilment motif that has been present throughout this incident.
