The Testimony of the Samaritans | Daily Sabbath School Lesson | Quarter 4 2024
Pastor Onesi LaFleur, Pastor Orville Joseph, Makeda Challenger
It seems strange that Jesus’ narrative about a harvest would interrupt the story of the conversion of many in the city. But John wants us to see how Jesus understood what was happening. Sharing the plan of salvation with a Samaritan woman was far more important to Him than eating. To lead souls to salvation was His purpose, and He used this occasion to teach His disciples the urgency of sharing the gospel with all people, even with those not like them. There are many high points in the Gospel of John. Surely John 4:39–42 is among them. Many of the Samaritans believed because of
the woman's testimony: “ ‘He told me all that I ever did’ ” (John 4:39, NKJV). The Samaritans asked Jesus to stay with them. The result was that many more believed because of the Word of Jesus. “Then they said to the woman, ‘Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world’ ” (John 4:42, NKJV).
What should this story tell us about how powerful the witness of even one person can be? How powerful a witness are you to what Jesus has done in your life?
