John 4:1-30, 39-42
The Samaritan Woman…
- has no mane ???
- is lonely, unhappy (5 husbands? And a lover?)
- has low social status, bad reputation
- draws water at noon (midday/12 pm – the hottest time of the day)
- avoids talking about her sinful life and changes the subject
- is open to receiving the message that Jesus is bringing to her
- gets interested in the conversation
- believes in Jesus
- - tells others about Jesus
Jesus…
- is tired, thirsty, but even so takes the opportunity to talk with the woman
- asks her for a drink
- talks to a Samaritan woman, a sinner (despised by the Jews)
- is not “stuck” in the Jewish traditions, goes beyond any prejudice
- spends time with her, goes straight to the point to meet her needs
- develops a public conversation
- treats the woman with respect, love (listens to her, does not condemn her, offers a solution for her life)
Whatever our condition (social, economic, spiritual, physical,
emotional, etc)… Jesus always wants to talk with us.
Whatever the circumstances… Jesus always has a solution for our life,
our problems…
Be open to Him, accept His love!
Listen to His voice!
Believe in Him!
Share what He has done for you, so that others can be blessed too!!!
