Day 29 - Samaritans Believe

John 4:39-42

Jesus showed love to a Samaritan woman and as a result of this, many Samaritans began to believe in the saving grace that Jesus spoke of. They saw that a Jewish man was willing to love a Samaritan. They were not used to people like Jesus talking to them or spending time with them. Jesus spent two days with the Samaritans, and through his words and his love, they began to believe. They said that since they had heard what Jesus said and had seen what Jesus was like, they truly knew that He was the Saviour of the world.

If we show others the love that they deserve, we will quickly draw converts from all over the world. The gospel message is more then just words. It is proving that we can truly love those that we are ministering to. We are to set an example of what Christians are truly like, and show people that God is about love and He is about being by our side at all times. If we cannot set a good example of a Christian, then we are destroying any point of trying to minister to someone. We should follow Christ's example and show love and the message the way He did.

God, show me how I can follow in Christ's footsteps. Allow me to be life Him, and to show others what Christianity is truly about. Amen.
