The Gospel of John 4:27 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?” (John 4:27 KJV)

When the disciples returned, right the instant the Lord Jesus revealed who He is to the woman, they were befuddled to catch them talking. As usual, as many of us do, they were quick to size up what a contemptuous undeserving person this woman was for the Lord to stoop down and talk with. Truly, like the disciples' reaction, seldom we place others on the same scale as we are. That's the tragedy of being under the yoke of sin. But, to their credit though, the disciples didn't say anything about what they thought. On the other hand, nothing is hidden before our Great I AM. "The LORD looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God." (Psalm 14:2).

The disciples, and we all too, need to be reminded of the whats and whys the Lord seeks her and us, and talks to her and us. 'Salvation has come to our house!' We, the underserving, are the reason He came to be in our midst, as the Lord proclaimed to Zacchaeus, the tax collector. “And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”" (Luke 19:9-10 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
