“Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”John 4:29
This compelling and eye-opening invitation led an entire Samaritan village out to their well to meet Jesus. They were intrigued by the truth that Jesus knew a woman’s sinful past, yet chose to invite her to know Him and believe Him by accepting her just as she was.
Jesus had two full days of hospitality and ministry among these willing seekers. He left behind a village filled with believers. Having heard Jesus for themselves at the conclusion of His visit they proclaimed “this is indeed the Savior of the world” (John 4:42).
Jesus loves people that society rejects. He calls them to believe and trust Him. And when they do, a ripple effect draws even more people to a God Who knows, loves, and saves sinners who will come to Him as they are, eventually to be transformed by the God Who knows, loves, and saves in Jesus!
