Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was making more disciples and baptizing more than John (although Jesus’ disciples were baptizing, not Jesus himself). Therefore, he left Judea and went back to Galilee. Jesus had to go through Samaria. He came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, which was near the land Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey, so he sat down at the well. It was about noon. (John 4:1-6, CEB)
Interesting to me in this passage is the “Jesus had to go through Samaria.” Every Jewish person of that day would have gone out of their way to go around Samaria, but Jesus has to go through there.
Jesus did not do what others did. He did not do what others expected him to do.
Jesus did what God led him to do.
Are you ready to go to your Samaria?
