Many of the Samaritans from that village committed themselves to him because of the woman’s witness: “He knew all about the things I did. He knows me inside and out!” They asked him to stay on, so Jesus stayed two days. A lot more people entrusted their lives to him when they heard what he had to say. They said to the woman, “We’re no longer taking this on your say-so. We’ve heard it for ourselves and know it for sure. He’s the Savior of the world!” (The Message)

”And they went to see for themselves.” (30)

We hope that people will look at Jesus for themselves, but how wonderful if God uses our words to move them in His direction!

It was the woman’s testimony that spurred many of her fellow Samaritans to cross those fields to see Jesus. But once they’d met Him, once they’d heard and encountered Him, they knew. There is no substitute for personal experience. Now they would have their own testimonies to share.

‘There are many ways of coming to know Christ. In some cases he comes to us, as to the woman by the well, and reveals himself in a direct and illuminating manner, so that the soul can never afterward entertain a doubt as to his reality or its own experience. In other cases, the report of some associate or friend is the arresting and converting factor.’ F.B.Meyer

PRAYER: Lord, please will you use even me, to tell the story of what you have done in my life.
