John 4:4 ” Now He had to go through Samaria.”

Jews didn’t associate with Samaritans,  and any self-respecting Jewish man surely wouldn’t make a point of traveling through Samaria…but Jesus did.  He didn’t have to plan the trip that way…most would have gone around Samaria…but Jesus didn’t.  You see, Jesus had a divine appointment arranged for a woman at Jacob’s well…a meeting that would not only change her,  but many of her fellow towns-people. The Lord  is ever reaching His saving hand  into places we’d probably never go…into prisons, crack houses, seedy motels, or dark alleyways…places where the forgotten, shunned, and hopeless live.  But no soul is beyond His reach…no life is beyond His grace and mercy.
