She was legally married five times, but now she was just living with a man. Pundits make humor out of these accounts, but God found nothing humorous about it. He knew this person was in trouble and needed what only a loving Savior could offer. We can make a mess out of our lives by always allowing the flesh to dictate our next move. The years quickly pile up, and we discover the hole that’s been dug is too deep to crawl out of.
The song says, “I met Jesus at the crossroad where the two ways meet.” That was certainly true of the Samaritan woman in John Chapter four. That has also been true for multitudes over the last two millennia. Not only was she delivered, but she also brought a city out to hear Jesus’ bondage-breaking message.
Read John Chapter four slowly and thoughtfully and count the similarities between her conversion and yours.
Think about it.
