Today’s Devotion
Topic: A Marvellous Encounter
Text: John 4: 42
They said to the woman,” we no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the saviour of the world”. AMEN
The woman at the well gave Jesus a “tough” time but in a while, she realized Jesus was the Messiah her soul has been craving to encounter. She rushed to Samaria and told them about a wonderful Man she had just met that revealed all her secrets. Could He be the Christ?
At this, the whole town came running to encounter Jesus too. They will not just dwell on her testimony alone… “They’ve got to know Him for themselves.” When they met Him, they believed and even urged Him to stay a little longer.
Maybe you came to know about Jesus through the testimony of someone or through a Christian music/movie. The question now is, have you had a personal encounter with Him? Are you found in Him and known as His?
What’s more? An encounter with the Lord must never remain a one time experience.
In every day’s deliverance, our Jesus we discover. There are so many deep levels in Him to encounter. That is why the people of Samaria entreated He stayed a little longer.
You cannot encounter Jesus one time and be content. There’s so much more to Him than what your first encounter with Him revealed.
He’s more than a healer to the sick, more than a father to the fatherless, comforter to the grieving family, salvation to the sinner, bread to the hungry, friend to the lonely and rest to the weary. The more you know Him, the more you will want to know Him.
If you did encounter Him before, don’t just turn and walk away. Build on this encounter, a personal relationship with Christ. Connect to Him through prayer now. Ask that He draws you nearer. His radiance will change your countenance and make you whole on every side in Jesus name.
