9.15.24 Message: Quest – The Encounter
Quest: The Encounter (John 4:7-40)
Jesus often crossed paths with others not from his “tribe.” He did not shy away from these moments, instead regularly seeking out these connections. He met people in their daily lives, like the Samaritan woman at the well and her community and engaged with them at the point of their deepest yearning.
When we seek out and open ourselves to new encounters, new people, new relationships, we allow ourselves a spiritual connection with humanity. When we do this, we discover more spiritual depth within us than we previously imagined.
How can we shift our perception, redefining “strangers” as “friends we have not yet met?”
