Scripture

John 4:39-42 (LEB) 39 Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. And he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word, 42 And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of ⌊what you said⌋ do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!”

Observation

• These Samaritans believed because of the woman’s testimony. 

• Their belief led them to leave what they were doing and come to Jesus. 

• Once they came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed for two days. 

• As a result, “many more” believed because of what he said to them. 

• The author is clear to tell us that their belief was no longer because of what the woman said, but because of what Jesus said. 

• They confessed that Jesus is the “Savior” of the world.

Application

• The testimony of one person should lead to greater belief in Jesus. 

• I should be willing to leave what I am doing to encounter Jesus.

Prayer

Father God, thank you for the testimony of others that has helped me believe. Help me to leave whatever I am doing to be with you. I confess that you are Savior of the world. You are my Savior and I am truly grateful. I need more of your presence today. Fill me once again, so I can testify about you to others. I love you! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
