One Year Bible: Day 124 - Judges 1:1-2:5; John 4:1-26; Proverbs 11:9-18
In John 4, we read about the overcoming of our enemies through the Gospel. “Jews do not associate with the Samaritans” (John 4:9).
Jesus did associate with the Samaritan woman. The woman believed in
Jesus. Many others believed in Him. By breaking down the barrier between
Jews and Samaritans, Jesus was not minimizing the difference between
the godly and the ungodly. He was emphasizing that “he who sows
righteousness reaps a sure reward” (Proverbs 11:18). As He spoke the Word of God’s love, many were brought to faith in Him (John 4:39).
When the Gospel of God’s love reaches our hearts, we do not continue in
sin, going our own way rather than the Lord’s way. We come in our sin
to the Saviour. We receive His forgiveness. We begin a new life – “It is
no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20).
