The Samaritan Woman -  The Show Must Go On

Like Elizabeth and Mary, the Samaritan woman had an important role to play in God’s story too. You can read about her in the gospel of John. 

Read John 4:1–26. 

Close your eyes and picture this woman for a minute. What do you think her life was like? She came to the well in the middle of the day when she expected no one would be there. Why was she alone? What burdens or struggles was she carrying? The Samaritan woman was thirsty for more than just water that day. She was thirsty for something we all want. We all want to be loved. We all want to belong. 

Think back to a time when you felt left out. How did you feel? What do you think would have helped you?
