Hey, church family, it is time for Devo.

If you got your Bible, John Chapter 4.

John chapter 4 records the event where Jesus talks to the woman at the well in Samaria.

Part of the reason I want to go over this is because this last week in church that you tuned into,

I mean, it's a tough teaching.

We were talking about lust and marriage and divorce,

and I know, I mean, I only got like an hour to talk there, okay?

And if you've walked through pain,

especially sexual sin on your, like where you were the sinner,

or whether you were sinned against,

whatever it is, man, the few people that we have in our services, we've got a few staffed people with camera and the bands and all that. Let me just tell you, there were a lot of tears.

There's a lot of pain. And the reason I wanted to look at John chapter 4 is because also there's a lot of healing.

And the woman that Jesus encounters here, she had been affected by lust and divorce and sin.

And so let's dive in.

It says verse 1, now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples, he left Judea and he departed again for Galilee.

And he had to pass through Samaria.

By the way, most Jews would loop around Samaria,

honestly just because they were racist and didn't want to walk through there.

But Jesus had to pass.

And I think he had to pass because the Spirit of God told him to do it,

and Jesus always did what his father told him to do.

So he came to the town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
