Extending Christ’s Love

Read about the woman at the well in John 4: 16-42.  One of the lessons we can learn about in this passage is what Jesus offered to this woman – and what that has to do with us.

Of course we notice that talking with Jesus revealed her sins. But have we noticed that Jesus did not shame her in those sins?  Rather He offered hope and freedom from her unhappy and broken life. Notice, too, the woman’s response to such grace and mercy. She ran to share it with others …. probably many of those who had shunned her and misused her.

All of us desire to be known at a deep vulnerable level, for we have been created in God’s image – from love and for love.  Here’s the question ever before us:  How can we see people for who they are in Christ’s eyes?  Do we offer them hope and freedom from unhappy and broken lives through personal, intimate relationship with Jesus? Or, do we judge, condemn and separate ourselves from them?
