Ordinary to Extraordinary

John 4

When we have an encounter with Jesus, He calls us out of the ordinary life and into an extraordinary life with Him. So it was with the Samaritan woman at the well. He waited for her, challenged her on her sin, reminded her of her inherited faith, and engaged her in conversation that pointed towards the Messiah. When He revealed who He was to her, she left to tell the town of whom she had encountered.

She left behind her water jar.
She left behind the ordinary.
She encountered something extraordinary.
She changed an entire community.

She left behind her water jar.
Perhaps she picked it up again at some point.
Life had to go on as normal.
But everyday as she went to draw water,
she remembered the Master who promised streams,
streams of living water.

Have you had an encounter with Jesus that stops you in your tracks? Have you left behind the ordinary, mundane things of life to tell others about Him and find out who He is for yourself?

Jesus takes our ordinary lives and transforms them into the extraordinary.

Wait. Challenge. Remind. Reveal. Transform.


Grace & Peace
