The HEALING OF THE NATIONS__Mishael - In Reply on John 4 - 3 years ago
This is a story that shows how the Holy Spirit gift, Word of Knowledge, operates.
She might have thought the way he was dressed that he was a Jew. Jews and Samaritan's did not fellowship together, or draw water for each other. She was surprised that Jesus even spoke to her.
She gave him a drink and through the Word of knowledge, Jesus told her all the events/truths of her life.
As a result she runs back to her neighborhood and tells what happened. The town goes back with her and Jesus preaches the good news to them. They all get saved__by believing in what he said.
Jesus was quizzed by the Disciples for even speaking to her and the others. Jesus was sent to "the House of Israel" first. Jesus explained that he was sent to the world. Jews and Gentiles did not mix cultures. Kind of like today with the disputes between whites vs non-whites.
Only the LIFE of Jesus living in His believers and followers__can bring HEALING TO THE NATIONS.
Matthew 28:19.
Just in the New Testament, are 37 scriptures on the word Nations. That's who we all are. Separation began at the Tower of Babel.
We shall know THE TRUTH and the Truth WILL set us free. Now that Jesus has made all people eligible to receive Salvation; and we receive it into our lives__we are to take the Healing of the Nations into ourselves First. After conversion we are to Take Healing To the Nations (all peoples regardless of religion, race or unbelief). The TREE OF LIFE, which is Jesus Christ: the fruit is for the Healing of the Nations.
After knowing what the will of God is, through Jesus Christ; we must embrace and REPRODUCE the God kind of Love.
Perfection, is AGAPE love. It's the Holy Spirits job to produce that within us. All of our predjudices must be left at the foot of the Cross.
We do this only by trust, and faith in Jesus to perfect our faith. Is the Power of His Love strong enough? How much of us are we willing to surrender? There will be some pain in dying to Self.
Hi Barbara. I can't be sure since the Bible doesn't specifically mention this aspect but the two possibilities that come to mind are: Jesus' appearance and/or His accent. Very often in eastern cultures, the type of clothing or footwear worn or manner of wearing it can give clues about the person's origins. As well, a person's accent can often identify which part of the country they're from.
Having lived & ministered in India & Pakistan, these identifiable aspects were often at the forefront. Because over there, it wasn't just the conversation that was important, but also knowing a person's background & family roots helped in what was being discussed. Maybe this woman at the well picked up some of these clues from Jesus.
