This week after reading John 3 and John 4 I had the chance to ask myself, am I like the rabbi or am I more like the woman at the well because the contrast is very distinct. I loved how the rabbi was a prominent social figure and was well known for being very righteous man, yet when Jesus spoke to him, he was not prepared to humble himself and accept what he was teaching immediately. The woman at the well was some what of a social outcast. In the worlds eyes she was a sinner, yet as she talked to Christ, she recognized him as her Savior and became an incredible missionary. I want to follow her example and forget about what the world thinks of me, and focus on humbling myself and being close enough to the spirit to recognize the Savior when he calls to me. I want him to know that I will drop everything and follow him.
John 3:16 states,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
I love this gospel so much and I know that if we truly believe and trust that through Christ we can be made perfect and recieve eternal life, we will want nothing more than to drop our nets and follow him.
