People might judge you, Christians, non-Christians, people from every walk of life will have an opinion. Some will not be shy in declaring judgement. Some might even crush you with their words.

Jesus won’t!

One day Jesus and His disciples were walking from one town to another and He had to pass through a Samaritan town. Now the Jews and the Samaritans hated each other. They did not talk to each other. At around midday they stopped in the Samaritan town to rest. His disciples went off to buy food and He sat down at the well that was just outside of the town.

A woman came to the well to draw water. The fact that she came to draw water at midday shows us she was a social outcast. The women of a town would draw water early in the morning for the day, not at midday in the heat. Society did not accept her, the women shunned her, they judged her and did not associate with her.

She then encountered Jesus at the well and He spoke to her. This was highly improper, completely politically incorrect. During that time a man should not speak to a married woman without her husband and He is a Jew and she a Samaritan. He asked her for something to drink because He was thirsty.

He then says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.” She replies, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have spoken truly in saying, I have no husband.  For you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.”

She then said to Him, “Sir, I see and understand that You are a prophet.” She goes on to say, “I know that Messiah is coming, He Who is called the Christ; and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know and make it clear to us.

Jesus said to her, “I Who now speak with you am He.”

She then ran back into the town that had shunned her and began telling the people, “Come, see a Man Who has told me everything that I ever did!”

Jesus did not tell her everything she ever did. He spoke hope and life. He never judged her. If He had judged her she would not have been so excited to meet Him that she was prepared to open herself up to more public scorn by telling the people of the town He was there.

The full story can be found in John 4.
