devotional. Hey, welcome to the Daily Drive. I'm Mike Bro, and we are looking at one-on-one

encounters that people have with Jesus. And our hope is that we would come to know

Jesus better and that we would actually move among people the way he did as we go back to school

and work in other places this fall. Yesterday, we began looking at a story that's found in John

chapter 4 that begins with Jesus going somewhere that no one else wanted to go. But Jesus, he just had to go. The place is

Samaria, and in the Jewish mind, the home of, you know, those people. Laws of disdain, flat out

hatred between the two groups. But Jesus pushes all of that aside, and he intentionally travels

there. Well, it sits down by a

well to rest it's noon he's thirsty and a woman comes to draw water now imagine

being this woman put yourself in her shoes for a moment again she's coming to

the well at noon for a reason she has a reputation she's not proud of she's been

used and discarded by a number of men.

She's got her head down, just trying to get in and out as quickly as possible, trying to

avoid all the small town gossip and all the glares. And then as she approaches the well,

she looks up. And there's some guy sitting there at the rocky base of the well. And she notices

his clothing. He's a Jew. And she's well aware of the well. And she notices his clothing.

He's a Jew.
