As this Samaritan woman made her way to Jacob’s well to collect her daily supply of water, she noticed a Jew sat resting on the side of the well. She knew there’ll be no conversation with this visitor to her town, because ‘Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.’ However, the woman was soon to learn that this Man is different! When Simeon held the infant Christ in his arms he said of the child, “a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.” Please note that the Gentiles are listed FIRST, even before God’s earthly people the Jews [Israel]. Here, God was giving an early intimation that the coming of Christ into the world was in order to embrace ALL men and women – even the despised Samaritans!


"How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?"
John 4:9
