THE SAMARITANS

 *The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?”(For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)* John 4:9

The woman at the well was surprised that Jesus, a Jew, talked to her, a Samaritan. Her surprise stemmed from the fact that the Samaritans had been continually rejected by the Jews for so many years before Christ’s birth. He didn’t see her as a ‘Samaritan,’ but as a woman thirsting for a satisfaction she had searched for but not found.

Jesus offered her living water for which she would never thirst again. She took it and her life was so transformed that ‘many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony’ (John 4:39).

What is the definitive identity of people we meet? Is it their racial background? Their religious affiliation? Their past life? Or are they people with a deep thirst for God that may have expressed itself in many foolish ways in the past, leaving them more thirsty than ever?

Jesus knew a secret about this woman that you and I know about everyone we meet. He knew she was thirsty for a drink for which she would never thirst again. So He offered it to her and today He offers it to us.

 *See people as Jesus would see them and never deny them the living water.*

PRAYER: My Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of Jesus. I pray that your Spirit will help me to continuously fellowship with your son Jesus....Amen
