15 JAN 23 Sunday: A Closer Walk Devotional
“Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman said, “He told me everything I ever did!” When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he stayed for two days, long enough for many more to hear this message and believe.” John 4:39-41
The amazing thing about this story is how quickly a person can have an eternal impact on others in their sphere of influence. The woman that encountered Jesus at the well had a brief conversation, became born again, received the gospel, and immediately went and told the people in her town. There was no additional education, baptism, or guidance. She just did it.
Her compelling story aided many others to saving faith. This should compel us to go and share our story of what Jesus has done for us. Most likely you have walked with the Lord much longer than her, so you should have no problem telling others the story of Jesus. The only reason we don’t, is because we are disobedient and afraid. Jesus expects you to go and tell.
Who is in your sphere of influence that hasn’t heard what Jesus has done for you?
