And he had to pass through Samaria. John 4:4
In the previous chapter, Jesus had bluntly told the Pharisee, Nicodemus, about his need for new spiritual birth. In this chapter His conversation is with an outcast woman of Samaria and His interaction is entirely different. The story begins by noting that the Saviour went out of His way to meet her. Their contact at the well was a divine necessity and as the Saviour spoke to her, He drew her to Himself with grace and truth! She believed and was saved along with many of the townsfolk. The Saviour is looking to meet with you today. —Jim Pizzulli
Jesus gave her water, that was not from the well; She went away
singing, and came back bringing, Others to the water, that was not
from the well! —Let’s Sing About Jesus, 49
