Question of the Day: How does trusting Jesus with your life change the way you live?
Read about It
Read: John 4:15–30
Have you ever been to a party or somewhere and someone talks to you and seems to know everything about you? Maybe you haven’t met them before, or maybe they’re a friend of your parents. They might begin to talk about how cute you were as a baby, or they might know other things that you haven’t told them. It may feel a little weird, but this is kind of like what happened to the woman at the well.
Jesus began to tell this woman things about herself that a stranger shouldn’t have known. When she realized who Jesus was, she left her jar at the well and ran to her village. The reason she had come out in the heat of the day was to draw water from the well. But after she talked with Jesus, she changed directions and went the other way, leaving the water jar behind her. She couldn’t wait to tell everyone about Jesus. This is what Jesus wants to do in our life too! We need to be open to allowing Him to change our direction and our plans anytime He wants to.
