The Gospel of John - We Have Heard Him Ourselves

Read John 4:39-42

Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.” – John 4:42 (NLT)

The Samaritan woman testified to her neighbors about Jesus, but also introduced them to Him. It is the encounter with Jesus himself that changes people, that brings them from darkness into light. The same is true for us. It is not enough that we had faithful parents, or know all about Jesus. We need to know Him personally ourselves. Only then are we able to introduce others to Him.
