Devotion:
Read John 4:25-30, 39-42.
Jesus gives new life to a woman, who then goes to invite others to receive this new life. This is the Gospel plan - to see each person as God sees them and invite them into a relationship with Him. As Max Lucado writes, “He (Jesus) offered her a chance, a fresh start, a clean slate." She accepted his offer. We know because of what happened next: “Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, ‘He told me everything I ever did!'”
The woman on the margin became the woman with the message. No one else gave her a chance. Jesus gave her the chance of a lifetime. He came for people like her. He came for people like you and me. Who can you invite into this wonderful adventure with God?
Personal Worship Option:
God sees people as individuals, not as men, women, Jews, Gentiles, poor or rich, etc. Are you seeing individuals in the midst of the crowds? Does your enthusiasm in your relationship with Christ spill over into the everyday?
