Monday – Gospels

Reading – John 4

Highlight Verse:

“Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I always figured that Jesus waited outside the Samaritan town purposely so that He could have that conversation with the Samaritan woman and word would spread about Him in that village, not to mention the countless sermons that would be preached about this story.

But He waited there because…

He was tired!

Of course He was God. But He was also human.

His body needed rest and water.

I’m not saying He didn’t care about the Samaritan woman or the people from her town.

He cared enough to bring the Gospel to her in spite of His exhaustion.

He sought her help for His physical need for water.

And He supplied truth for her spiritual needs.

There are many times in this life when we are exhausted and need to rest.

Even in those times, we should always keep our eyes open for opportunities to meet the spiritual needs of those around us.

Have you ever been in a place when someone was helping you, and you we able to bring them spiritual help?
How did you handle that situation?
