In biblical times the Jewish people hated the Samaritans. It was because the Samaritans were part Jewish and part Gentile. The orthodox Jews believed the Samaritans were ceremonially unclean. The relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans became so bad the Jews

tried to avoid traveling through Samaria.

 

In the fourth chapter of John is the story of the Samaritan woman. Because of her bad reputation the Samaritan woman was not popular in the village where she lived. She had had five husbands and the man she was living with was not her husband.

 

The Samaritan woman was isolated from society. She must have felt lonely. She must have felt like there was no hope she could have a better life. Jesus told her about the living water that would quench her spiritual thirst eternally. When the Samaritan woman recognized who Jesus was, she put her faith and trust in Him. Suddenly, her life changed. Her life was filled with joy.   

 

The same is true for you. If you feel isolated, lonely, and see no hope for the future there is Somebody who can change your life. Commit your life to Jesus. His Spirit will come to live within you. If you make Jesus the Lord of your life, He will give you a life that is worth living.
