The Woman at the Well

This has to be my favorite scene from, “The visual Bible- The Gospel of John.” It is taken from, the forth chapter of John, where Jesus must needs to go through Samaria. This is really a powerful event, in all the lives, that were involved with this story. The disciples got a taste of Jesus’s view on the gentile people. The people of Samaria were accepted in this small, but Jewish crowd, for they went with the Samaritans, for a two day visit.

I have heard that this nameless woman has been accredited with making the first ever Evangelist trip. She ran home, and shared the good news with all that would hear her. “I have met the Messiah!!” Isn’t it strange that Jesus did not have to tell her to do this? She just naturally did this, because she realized the value of her discovery. 

Yet, we have the entire story written out in front of us in God’s Word. We have so much that happened sense creation, and beyond our time. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus commands us as believers, us as children of the most high God, us as redeemed, forgiven, and have the hope of eternal life, to go into all the world telling the good news. Most of us sit on our lax daisy thumbs, rearing back while saying that there are enough people doing this already. 

WRONG!! Living the Christian life is living a life of action. We have the opportunity to share what has been freely given to us. We should look at this for what it truly is, and that is a privilege. For those who don’t see it in this way, Jesus commanded that we Go!! 

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Enjoy the video. Meditate on the power of the story, and go ye therefore!!



 

Ain’t Jesus Awesome?
