A witness in the court of law is only supposed to do two things. It's supposed to tell the truth,

and it's supposed to tell of what he or she saw or heard. That's all. They're not called to be

responsible for the verdict, although the testimony may influence the verdict, but it's not their responsibility.

They are not required to know all of the intricacies of the law and the nuances of the law.

They're not required to understand all of the procedures and the protocol of the court.

They're not required to even understand the process that takes

place. No. Two things. Tell the truth. Tell what they've experienced, what they saw and what

they heard. And that's precisely what this Samaritan woman did. She was a credible witness for Christ. I hope you already

turned in your Bibles to John chapter 4. We saw in the last message how when she had that

encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, we saw how first she put on some defense mechanisms. She rattled off some canned

religious formulas that never brought her satisfaction. Religion never brings satisfaction. Only Jesus

does. And once Jesus pierced through that religious veneer of hers, she went into the

village testifying about Jesus. Come and see. Come and see. That's all she said. Come and see.

What did Jesus do to change this woman's life? I want you to listen carefully because it is so simple. It really is.

We saw in the last message how he did not try to be philosophical. He did not try to impress her

but how much knowledge he has. They would have blown her out of the water. He did not try to give her some

psychological advice. He did not try to give her some psychological advice.

He did not pontificate about her lifestyle.

He even did not try to analyze her sociological situation.

He didn't do any of this.

Instead, he lovingly put his finger on the very source of her pain and then his willingness

to heal that pain.
