John
4:3, “He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And he
must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave
to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore,
being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was
about the sixth hour.”
He
must needs go through Samaria. Why did Jesus need to go through
Samaria? He had a message for that city! It began with the woman at
the well of Jacob and spread all over the city. When the word spread
about the woman’s encounter with Jesus many came to see for
themselves. Her invitation was, John 4:29, “Come, see a man, which
told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then
they went out of the city, and came unto him.” Many more believed
at the testimony of Jesus. John 4:42, “...Now we believe, not
because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that
this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”
Oh,
how we need the presence of Christ Jesus to be manifest in our
churches. Having heard of this woman’s encounter and subsequent
revelation, the people of Samaria came to see for themselves. Their
desire was to see this Jesus who had told her all things. I am
convinced that our churches are filled week after week with people
who are searching for the answers to their needs. They need Jesus to
be manifest in our worship services! The Holy Spirit has a message
for all who would believe! Jesus wants to reveal His deliverance,
healing and salvation to all who will embrace His Truth. The woman of
Samaria went to the well to draw water but her life was changed
forever because she met Jesus there. Jesus is the answer to every
human condition. Come see a man who told me all things! Call out to
Him today!
