FAITH CAPSULE:His going through will not leave you empty, but will endue you with all it takes to be connected to heaven.
John 4
Jesus was speaking in the book of Revelation, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” When He was here on earth He did not stop reaching out to those that did not know Him. After He has risen and went to the right hand of God He continues to reach out. Indeed He came to give life to those who will accept Him. Jesus was and He is the Great Savior that paid it all on the cross of Calvary.
A song testifies about Jesus, “Everywhere he went He was doing good.” He was, and He is the Almighty healer that heals the leper and gives light in the darkness. If you will let Him go through you today, you will not be left the same way. As much as Samaritans were rejected by the Jews, and as much as the Jews avoided the land of Samaria because of sin, Jesus had the need to go through Samaria. He wanted to touch the sinner’s life. John 4:4-5, “But He needed to go through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.” Will you let Him go through you? His going through will not leave you empty, but will endue you with all it takes to be connected to heaven.
He will be a fountain of living water instead of a dry well. His journey through Samaria was not to judge, but to take them from the past into a place where they could be with Him. There must have been another route that Jesus could have taken to go to Galilee, but He chose to go through Samaria. When his time in Samaria was completed, He was asked to stay a little longer. John 4:43, “Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.” After having departed from Samaria, He delivered to Samaritans the gift of God; living water and what it takes to draw the living water. He also put in place all that it takes not to be thirsty to whoever accepted the living water. Jesus is Lord yesterday and forever. Allow Jesus to go through you, He will never forsake you. After you have let Him through, His presence will continue to be a wellspring in your life. Let Him go through you and you will never be the same again.
Prayer for today: Ask God to have mercy upon you according to His lovingkindness; according to the multitude of His tender mercies.
