—John 4:1-15

The Samaritan woman was confrontational at first because of her ethnic experience with the Jews. Jesus could have dismissed her, but instead He persisted in His conversation. She listened and accepted His message. How often have you tried to bring the gospel to someone of a different ethnicity and he becomes confrontational? Did you walk away or persist in bringing the message? Refusing to accept diversity and the experience of other ethnic groups is the reason why the church in America is one of the most segregated institutions. Let us understand the reason for nonacceptance and preach the gospel, in spite of hostility, to all people as Jesus did.
