A Public Sinner Becomes a Witness and Apostle
It is
most likely that the town people know the Samaritan woman’s personal history,
which is by no means exemplary.
Yet,
after meeting Jesus, she becomes a witness who leads others to him. She even acknowledges publicly, “He told me
everything I have done.”
A public
sinner becomes a disciple and an apostle – one who is sent as a witness to lead
others to “the savior of the world.”
As disciples
and apostles of Jesus, our credibility does not come from who we are, or our
worthiness, or the lack of it. While we
must strive to become more authentic witnesses, our credibility comes from but
the One who sends us – Jesus Christ.
