Stranger

"Could he be the Christ?" John 4:29.

Again, that's the question, isn't it? But who's the question about? Jesus, of course. And who's asking? A woman. A Samaritan. A stranger from whom Jesus had asked for a favor, for a drink of water. A woman who then had a private audience with Jesus. Who told her everything she had ever done. A woman who's lived with five men and the man she's with now isn't even her man. That's who's asking. So Jesus offered to give her water that would spring up within her to forever life. But who's she asking? Her townspeople. What do they answer? After hearing him they agree with her - he is the savior of the world.

We meet a brother or sister today confessing wholeheartedly that Jesus is the Christ, Yes!. And, together, we give thanks to God that Jesus is indeed the savior of the world. And savior of us, too.
