Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 10 January 2024
The long-standing tension between Jews and Samaritans had over the years developed to the extent that some Jews would avoid going through Samaria and choose to take the longer route to Jerusalem. Not so with Jesus, and the choice He made led to His encounter with and the salvation of the Samaritan woman and her people. The choices we make in life have an impact on others.
The man Jesus Christ was foot-weary, tired, and thirsty, and He rested by the village well. Women normally did not come to draw water at noon time but in the cool of the morning or the late afternoon. This woman, however, had her reasons to avoid other women and so she came when the others were not there to point accusing fingers on account of both her history and present marital status. Jesus took the unusual step of asking a favour of her. It was a natural start to the most important conversation of her entire life!
As we seek to witness to others about Jesus Christ, we too must learn from His wisdom: take time to get to know our contacts properly and seek to capture their attention positively, with due respect and caution lest we end up giving the gospel a bad name!
