“Come, see a Man who
told me all things that I ever did. Could this be Christ?” John 4:29
These
are the words of the Samaritan lady whose life was completely changed because
of an encounter with Jesus Christ at Sychar. This lady met Jesus at Jacob’s well
and it was the turning point in her life. All of us might still remember how we
all turned to Jesus. She did a wonderful job in spreading the word about Jesus
Christ and thus turned many more in the city to Jesus.
In
verse 28 we read, “The woman then left
her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men… The
water pot was a hindrance for her to spread the word about Jesus Christ. It must
have been heavy to carry around. I have often thought that some of us who are
called to spread the Word of God are carrying similar water pots. The water pot
can resemble our jobs, future of our children, financial matters and so on. It can
drift us away from our call to spread the Word of God even without our
knowledge.
My
dear friend, as the Word says in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added to you.”
Be
Blessed!
