John 4:26

Dr. Ronnie Wolfe

"Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he."

Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

What a pronouncement this was to the Samaritan woman! She knew about the coming of the Messiah, but she did not know that Jesus was that Messiah. Neither did those who were in the synagogue who heard Jesus say in  Luke 4:21, . . . This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

We must remember that Jesus must reveal God the Father to us. It is not too much to ask for this kind of grace from God, for it is by His grace that we are saved through faith, and without this grace no one would be saved, neither know the Father. Everyone must come to the Father by Jesus (John 14:6).

This woman knew nothing of Jesus, but she needed Jesus, and Jesus revealed Himself to her and saved her; then later a church was begun in Samaria which gave witness to this same Jesus for many years to come.
