Jesus Seeks the Outsider
We love a good underdog story. Whether it's a struggling athlete getting their big break or an overlooked competitor rising to victory, something inside us roots for the one who wasn’t supposed to win. But no one champions the underdog like Jesus.
In John 4, we see Jesus breaking every barrier—cultural, social, and religious—to seek a Samaritan woman with a scandalous past. He doesn’t just offer her acceptance; He offers her living water—true, eternal satisfaction that no relationship, possession, or success can provide. And once she encounters Him, she can’t keep it to herself. She runs back to her town, bringing others to the Messiah.
This is what Jesus does. He seeks the lost, satisfies the thirsty, and sends the saved. The same Jesus who pursued her is pursuing you. Will you let Him transform you into an ambassador for His Kingdom?
