May 9, How Hiding Keeps You From Seeking Gwen Smith Today's Truth God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in sprit and truth. (John 4:24, ESV) Friend to Friend In John 4, we see a tired Jesus. He was exhausted and thirsty from the journey he and the disciples had just made from Judea to Galilee. Having sent the disciples into town for food, Jesus sat down by Jacob's well and talked with a woman of Samaria – ignoring cultural, racial, and social norms of that day. {Jews did not associate with Samaritans and often tried to avoid Samaria all together on their journeys. In addition to that, respectable Jewish men did not talk to women whom they didn't know in public.} But Jesus was clearly not concerned with public opinion as He was on a mission of mercy. |
