We read John 4 in bible study last night and I was so blown away but three things:
- How Jesus used such a broken woman - a woman of 5 husbands and fooling around with another man yet through her many Samaritans believed in Christ because of her testimony. She wasn't at all credible but the gospel went out from her. And from the Official in 4:46ff his whole household was converted - through one man.
- I want to be more like the Samaritan woman - not in having many husbands but by having the gospel on my tounge and JOYFULLY compleled to share the amazing truth of what Jesus has done. She left her water jar and went and told people. I pray for passion of that intensity!
- How everything in John backs up John 20:31 - its by the word they heard that the Samaritans now know that "this is indeed the Saviour of the world" 4:42 & The Official "believed the word that Jesus spoke" 4:50
