N. T. Wright gives us a good conclusion to the whole passage about the Samaritan woman. He says, "The way the passage ends is worth pondering deeply. Here is a woman who, a matter or an hour or so before, had been completely trapped in a life of immorality, as a social outcast. There was no way backwards or forwards for her; all she could do was to eke out a daily existence and make sure she went to the well at the time of day when there would be nobody there to sneer or mock. Now she has become the first evangelist to the Samaritan people. Before any of Jesus' own follower could do it, she has told them that he is the Messiah. And then, as they have come to see Jesus for themselves, they have become convinced. Indeed, they have given Jesus a title which, as they may have known, the emperor in far-away Rome had begun to use for himself: saviour of the world."
What I heard from Jesus today is that as an Evangelist we need to lead people to Him until they can hear from Jesus themselves. To be able to hear someone speak is a matter of closeness and relationship. How good are we to lead people to enter into this relationship with the Lord that we are really doing an Evangelist's job?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be a true evangelist leading people to you that they know and experience that you are the Saviour of the world. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
