John 4:27

John 4:27 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?  Jesus's disciples returned.  They marveled that Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman. They said nothing about it.  There were likely many questions running through their minds, but they didn't ask Jesus for answers.  If we ever wonder what God is doing in our lives, the best thing to do is ask Him. Pray about it, and the Holy Spirit will help us understand.  Verse twenty-eight adds, The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,  The woman left to tell others what had happened.  She left her water pot and went to the city.  When we come to Christ, we need to leave everything with Him.  We cannot let the cares and concerns of the world come ahead of telling others about Him.  There are probably those today who would say she should have been responsible enough to carry her bucket, and maybe even get the water she came for, before going to tell others.  Too often, we feel we must take care of everything else before we devote time to God, but we need to put Him first.  Verse twenty-nine continues, "Come, see a man, which told me all things ever I did: is this not the Christ?" She told people to come see a man, but with her question acknowledged she saw Him to be the Savior.  When God reveals Himself to us, we know Who He is, whether we want to acknowledge it or not.  When we do know, we must be like the woman, and share the Good News with others, inviting them to come and see. Verse thirty concludes. Then they went out of the city and came unto him.  The people went to see what she was talking about.  They knew something about her had changed.  When we invite others to come to Christ, they will respond more readily if they see a change in us, something different in the way we live as compared to the way the world lives.  Had she gotten her water and come back to town, continuing on with life as normal, and said something like, " Oh by the way, I met this guy at the well who was kind of interesting," the people might not have gone to see Him.  We need to be excited about our relationship to Christ when we share the gospel with them.  Then, they are more likely to respond.  Verse thirty-one states, In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.  While Jeus was meeting with the woman, His disciples were concerned about His physical wellbeing more than they were with he spiritual wellbeing.  We need to be more concerned about spiritual things than we are physical.  Veres thirty-two adds, But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.  Jesus told them that He had bread that they knew nothing about, and that was His faith in His Heavenly Father, Who would always meet all His needs.  As Christians, we have that same promise today.  The world, like the disciples at that time, will never understand this.  Verse thirty-three continues, Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?  As just stated, the disciples did not understand what Jesus was talking about, because they were still looking at Him as an earthly king to be.  We can never understand Jesus if we only look at Him in physical terms.  Verse thirty-four concludes, Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.  Jesus explained that His meat was to do the will of the heavenly Father, though they still did not yet understand all that this meant.  We will never fully understand everything that Jesus is, but all we really need to understand is that He died for our sins to offer us salvation.  Once we accept this gift, we can begin to understand Him a little more.
