John 4:40,41

Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4:40-41 

[40] So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. [41] And many more believed because of his word.

 A group of Samaritans came to Jesus. There had been so convinced by the testimony of the Samaritan woman and the Glorious change in her life, so they decided to see it for themselves and came to Jesus and asked Jesus to stay with them for two days.

This is a beautiful moment in the ministry of Jesus, because much of the time he was rejected by the Jews and the Pharisees. The hostility on the part of the Jews have already started, and this would just increase from this point forward until the day he would be crucified. He stayed with them in the Samaritan town for two days. No Jews. Would do that because their heart was ruled by hatred towards the Samaritans. But Jesus heart was ruled by the love towards the lost. One thing was sure, this two days was the greatest time that the people in Samaria in Samaritan Town experienced, many believed in him in the town.

When Jesus spent time with the people preaching the word of God, they would have been hundreds, Who would have turned to Jesus and believed in Jesus. The Samaritans were looking forward for the Messiah to come, and they found the Messiah. Jesus staying in the Samaritan town and eating with them would have brought more hatred from the Jews and the Pharisees.

In Mark 15th chapter, we read. Demon possessed man being delivered. We see in that place called garrisones. They began to beg Jesus to depart from their region. They have just witnessed a great miracle of a demon possessed man being healed yet the rejected Jesus. Maybe because of the loss of the 2000 pigs, or because they do not wanted the Jewish Rabi to come into their place because it was a gentile town. But still, they rejected Jesus.  

Today. Also, some people reject Jesus, and some people accept Jesus. Are you the people who accept Jesus.

Prayer

 Let us pray, Heavenly Father. I thank you Lord that you are the Messiah. Even as the Samaritan came to you. We come to you, Lord. Bless this day  Give us Victory. Oh God, give us your grace and mercy that your presence will be there with us. We are your children. We commit ourselves to you in Jesus name, I pray.

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...
