This Mess Of A Woman Is Now An Evangelist!

 

Our Bible Study has been moved to Wednesday, February 26, due to inclement weather expected in Tulsa.

 

John 4:39-42

39 Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.”

 

 

Talk about an unlikely evangelist! This poor, lost Samaritan woman becomes an evangelist. John specifically uses one of his key words when describing her work—“testimony.”

Beautifully, the townspeople tell her that they investigated for themselves, and they too now believe that Jesus is the Savior of the world.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
This is a perfect picture of what evangelism ought to look like: the Samaritan woman telling other people what Jesus has done for her, inviting them to come and see Jesus for themselves, and then they themselves experiencing the life He offers. It is, in other words, a “harvest” (see John 4:35–38).
