Day 7

John 4

Samaritan Woman

Have you ever been in a place where you have felt like an outcast? This is the situation of Samaritans. They were looked down on because of their race. They were seen as people who were avoided. Most people traveling from Judea to Galilee would travel around Samaria even though it would save them a bunch of traveling time. Except Jesus is not most people. He does not avoid anybody.  When he went to the well he had an encounter with a woman, that would impact her life forever. He offered her living water so she would thirst no more. He offered her himself. 

They get into a conversation about worship. Worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. These are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. Then he says he is the Messiah.

The woman leaves and tell others what had happened, how he knew everything about her life. Because of her testimony many became believers in Christ.

Jesus leaves and goes back to Galilee, and is approached by a royal official whose son is close to death. He asks Jesus to come and heal his son. But Jesus told him his son would live. The official returns home and found out that his son's fever broke at the time Jesus and him talked. 

What a great story to talk about first a spiritual healing and then a physical healing.

Hope you have a great week. See you all tonight.
