A woman’s worth and mission
by VANESSA WHITE
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to Him, they urged Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days. And because of His Words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world. {John 4:39-40}
Read John Chapter 4 to learn all about the Smartian Woman who was changed by Christ. Her background: She lived in Samaria, the region between Judea and Galilee. v 4:7. She came to Jacobs well, to draw water. Jesus who was resting there asked her to give Him a drink. Her story: she was surprised He would speak to her, since he was a Jewish man and she was a Samaritan woman.
Jesus engaged her in conversation and offered her living water.
The Samaritan Woman:
+ She Shared her testimony
+ She was not silent about what the LORD told her
+ She listened intently to what the LORD was saying
+ She wanted this Living Water that the LORD was talking about.
It is Jesus who fills our every thirst, He is a spring of Life, HE is the Living Water. HE is the Savior of the world. HE is TRUTH to a dying and hurting world. We as women can impact the world in which we live. Just as the Samaritan Woman impacted the folks in her town. She shared her testimony and simply told them what the LORD has done.
How can I keep silent about the GOD I serve; how could I not want to talk about HIS Greatness and what HE’S done for me! HE saved my life; the Savior of the world changed my life. For me to read His Word, is life to my soul, light unto my path. YES, I Believe! but I no longer believe because of what someone told me, I believe because I know for myself. I believe, because of His Transforming Power, HIS Unfailing LOVE, HIS Gentleness, HIS Loving Kindness, HIS Merciful Grace, HIS Everlasting LOVE, HIS Faithfulness, HIS LOVE is indescribable too great for me to explain. The LORD has answered numerous prayers, in the smallest details of my life {big and small}. Who are we, that HE is mindful of us?
Jesus answered, “everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. {John 4:13-14}
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him. {Psalm 31:8}
