John 4:39-41

“He told me everything I ever did,” is an interesting kind of miracle—and the one that hooked Nathanael in John 1:48-49. I read it as, “He knew me,” and beyond that, more closely and completely than was thought possible. That’s not ever the greatest miracle, as Jesus Himself admits in John 1:50-51—it is greater by far that He knows me so well and loves me anyway. The Samaritan woman’s testimony of Jesus knowing her was enough to introduce Him to many of her neighbors, who believed once they realized He knew them, too. Likewise, I had to believe that other’s believed before I could come to believe myself.
