"Jesus answered and said to her,
John 4:10
Such a fascinating event takes place in the fourth chapter of John. I love this event because we read how Jesus takes a person from death to life. What's fascinating is that this is not a well known individual; in fact, I don't even know her name. All we know is that she is the woman at the well and I would suggest probably not a woman we would consider well educated at that time. She matures from someone who has no idea who Jesus is; verse 10"… if you know…who says to you…", to telling people about Jesus, verse 29 "Come, see a man…" Another fascinating aspect about this event is verse 39, "from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him…" A whole city was affected by this woman's testimony!! You see, we don't need a well known name, a tear jerking testimony or even several degrees from college to be used so that "many believed in Him."
Let's pray to be like Peter and John in Acts 4:13… "They were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus."
