365 Meditations on the Heart of the New Testament

 

The Savior of the World

Scripture:  John 4:39-42

Reflection:

 

How wonderful for many to believe in the testimony of one person whose background and life may have not been accepted by the community.  If this woman was in your community would her testimony move you to believe?  Why or why not?

The people in the village gave this woman a new life, renewed strength and hope because Jesus broke the communication barrier between her and them.  What communication barrier needs to be broken in your life?

Jesus was recognized as the Savior of the World to the people in this village.  Why did they truly believe he was the savior of the world? Remember they are Samaritans.

 

 

Prayer: Living God, remind us daily why Jesus is the savior of the world.  Remind us he came to bring peace and reconciliation to all of us. Teach us your love so we can show why the savior of the world came. Amen.
