John 4:25 KJV
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
The woman is a Samaritan. She is despised by the Jews and she is a soiled Samaritan woman at that. And yet she knew and believed the promise that one day the Messiah would come and "tell us all things."
I was reminded today that we never know who it is whose heart is just searching for the truth. Here is a woman whose life appears to be a total wreck, yet she is searching, hoping, longing for the day when the Lord will help her to know the truth of the spiritual life. I wonder how many people just like her live and work and walk the streets around us and we never realize they are looking for the answers we as believers are sure to have?
And then, when this woman saw te truth, she turned out to be the key to reaching almost a whole city. The most unlikely soul may be the very person who could turn a ministry from one that is ding little for Christ to one that has major impact in a community.
It is never a waste to go out of our way to witness to the least of all people.
