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 Christ Jesus to be manifest in our lives and 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. We are
meeting people daily and our churches are filled week after week with
people who are searching for the answers to the needs in their lives.
They need Jesus! They need to see Jesus in us and to see Him manifest
in every activity we are a part of!
God’s
judgment is falling upon our world as a result of the sin and
rebellion here. This judgment is creating a fertile field for the
harvest of eternal souls. Jesus is coming soon! Therefore, He wants
all who will hear His voice to get ready! He wants to reveal His
delivering, healing and saving power 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 need in our lives. Come See A Man who told me all things! Reach
out to Him today! He is reaching out to YOU!
