CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />

<strong>Sam</strong>aritan. This did not look good to them. The<br />

reputation of Jesus' m<strong>in</strong>istry would be smudged.<br />

The woman then left her waterpot, went<br />

her way <strong>in</strong>to the city, and said to the men,<br />

"Come, see a Man who told me all th<strong>in</strong>gs that<br />

I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" Then<br />

they went out of the city and came to Him<br />

(John 4:28-30).<br />

The woman left her waterpot. She let go of<br />

her past and left her natural needs beh<strong>in</strong>d. She<br />

went right away to the city and said, "Come see<br />

a Man." She did not give her testimony. She did<br />

not want to share at the next women's meet<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

She told people to go see Jesus. She brought a<br />

great satisfaction to the Lord.<br />

In the meantime <strong>His</strong> disciples urged Him,<br />

say<strong>in</strong>g, "Rabbi, eat."<br />

But He said to them, "I have food to eat of<br />

which you do not know."<br />

Therefore the disciples said to one<br />

another, "Has anyone brought Him anyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to eat?"<br />

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the<br />

will of Him who sent Me, and to f<strong>in</strong>ish <strong>His</strong><br />

work" (John 4:31-34).<br />

When the disciples asked, "Lord, are You not<br />

hungry?" Jesus responded, “You have no idea<br />

how satisfied I am." The heart of the Master was<br />

filled when the woman was changed <strong>in</strong> <strong>His</strong><br />

presence. She affected an entire community.<br />

And many of the <strong>Sam</strong>aritans of that city<br />

believed <strong>in</strong> Him because of the word of the<br />

woman who testified, "He told me all that I<br />

ever did" (John 4:39).<br />
