That is where Jacob had built a well long ago, and that well what where Jesus stopped on that day in this story. There was a city in Samaria called Sychar. Jesus chose to go through Samaria rather than go around it. Any respectable Jew would never go into Samaria - much less a Rabbi! The Jews called them “half-breeds”, and considered them to be lower than dogs because of their mixed heritages.
The original Canaanites, and those who were ½ Canaanites and ½ Jews. Samaria was a place inhabited by 2 basic peoples. But to get there, He had to go through Samaria, which was in-between the two. So Jesus decided to leave Judea and go northward into Galilee, which was in Israel. The Pharisees were angry with Jesus because they heard Jesus was more popular than John the Baptist, and He was baptizing more people than John. In today’s message, we find him in Judea where His cousin John the Baptist was. In fact, we find Jesus constantly on the move, trying to reach more people for salvation. Whereas most churches wait until people walk into their church buildings at certain times to tell them about Jesus, Jesus and the disciples traveled the countryside on foot to take the Good News to the people. Today, let’s talk about another woman who was saved by the power of Jesus Christ a woman we have all referred to as “The Woman at the Well.” We find her story in the 4th chapter of the book of JOHN.Īs we read the Gospels, we see that Jesus’ approach to proclaiming the Good News was decidedly different that the approach most churches have today.
