John 4:27-30,39-42 NASB1995: At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?” So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?” They went out of the city, and were coming to Him…
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all the things that I have done.” So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. Many more believed because of His word; and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world.”
I just love this passage of Scripture! First, I love how Jesus spent time talking with this woman who he knew to be a Samaritan, who Jews usually did not associate with, who he knew to be a woman, and who he knew had had several husbands and the one she was presently living with was not her husband. He took time with her to gently explain to her the truth of who he was, and the truth of the gospel of our salvation, and what the future held for all who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ to be Lord of their lives.
Not only that, but he intentionally asked her to call for her husband, knowing that she did not have a husband, but in order to open a further conversation with her with regard to what was coming next, after Jesus’ death and resurrection (although he did not specifically mention that). He let her know that the worship of God would no longer be in any specific physical location, but that we would worship God “in spirit and in truth,” in our inner beings, via biblical faith in Jesus Christ. And he let her know he was the Messiah.
But Jesus’ intention went beyond just sharing with her the gospel and to let her know that he was the Messiah, the Christ who was to come. For he who knew all about her knew that she would then go and tell the people of her town, including the men (or primarily or only the men), all about her conversation with Jesus, and that she would invite them to come and see the one who is the Christ. And he knew that, because of the woman’s testimony, that many people would believe in Jesus as the Savior of the world.
So, Jesus didn’t ignore her because she was a woman, or because she was a sinful woman, but he spoke with her gently, and he taught her the truth of the gospel, and then he used her to bring many more people to faith in Jesus Christ, because he knew that she would believe him, and that she would spread the good news to the people, including to men, and that because of her testimony many more people would trust in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives. And that is awesome!! She was willing!
And that truly ministers to me because I am a woman, and I did have a time in my life when I was out of the will of God, but God didn’t give up on me, and he brought me back, and then he sent me to the internet to share with the world the truth of the Scriptures and the gospel of our salvation, in truth, in the manner in which Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught it, and not how it is so commonly being taught today in a very twisted way which does not represent the true gospel of our salvation from sin.
And this ministers to me, too: For all the times in my life where I was walking by faith, and I was obeying God, which was the majority of my life, I kept getting mistreated by men, many of them serving as pastors, who had no regard for me, for I was a woman and I didn’t have credentials that made me important in their sight. And so some of them misjudged me because of my sincerity of faith in the Lord and my seriousness of purpose in speaking the word of the Lord, and many of them just cast me aside as a nobody.
But Jesus did not! He loved me! And he had a plan and a purpose for my life, just as he did for the woman at the well. And it was to use me to share the truths of God’s word with the people of the world, which includes men, via writing down what he is teaching me each day during my times spent with him in his word, and placing these writings on the internet for anyone to read who will read what the Lord gives me to write. So, although I was mostly rejected by men, God called me, and he is using me for his glory.
