One Who Testified

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”  So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.  And many more believed because of His own word.  John 4:39-41

Early in His travels, Jesus our Lord went to Samaria to meet with one particular woman at a well. If you have seen the newer TV series, The Chosen, you watched a delightful portrayal of this woman's transformation in Christ. While the disciples follow their rabbi, this woman goes out and testifies of the Christ. Where many of His fellow Jews refuse to believe, this woman helps to bring a Samaritan town to believe in the Lord. Between the testimony of one and His own word, Jesus found faith in a place that would shock the Jewish religious leaders when word got to them, as it surely did. And so we testify, because like this little Samaritan town, we never can tell where the Word of God may take root and grow. 

Rejoice in the Lord always,
