TOPIC : JESUS DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE
“Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.” - John 4:9 KJV
Aren’t you grateful that our Lord Jesus is not bound by tradition? Aren’t you grateful that He is not limited by gender or social norms? Jesus does not reject people simply because others have rejected them. He moves freely among every nation, tribe, and tongue.
In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor male nor female, for all are one in Him. Grace enables you to worship God freely, to rejoice without inhibition, and to experience true freedom in His presence.
You are not confined by man-made rules or traditions; you are free to be yourself because Jesus is with you.
The woman of Samaria had been battered, abused, and mistreated by others, yet Jesus came to associate with her. That is why He is called the Friend of sinners. Unlike some modern churches that discriminate, Jesus embraced her fully. Even believers today sometimes fail to extend grace, forgetting that our posture should be one of inclusivity.
Consider how some of us respond when someone appears in a church setting dressed in a way we disapprove. We might shift seats or silently judge, thinking, “This person cannot be saved.”
Yet Jesus, in His encounter with the Samaritan woman, defied such prejudices. He freely engaged her, offering living water without hesitation.
Reflect on the people you may have passed by without speaking to, perhaps judging them by appearance or circumstance. Jesus teaches us a better way. Even in our relationships as Christians, we are called to extend grace. Jesus sat comfortably with the woman of Samaria because He knew He had something of eternal value to give her. We, too, should approach others with the same heart of grace and love.
