Jesus and the Samaritan woman - the value of a soul
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The passage of Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4 teaches us about the urgency of personal evangelism and the importance of positioning ourselves for evangelistic opportunities. Jesus valued single souls and stopped his action to attend to them. We too must position ourselves to preach the Gospel and take advantage of every opportunity, whether it be with neighbors or coworkers. We must acquire an evangelistic mentality and recognize that it is our duty and privilege to share the Gospel.

They emphasize the need to overcome fear and pray for opportunities to share the Gospel with others.

Glory to the Lord. I want to invite you to go to the Gospel according to Saint John, chapter 4. To the well-known text of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. There says the word of the Lord:
“When the Lord understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John, although Jesus did not baptize except his disciples, he left Judea and went back to Galilee. And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria – an important detail –. So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the inheritance that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. -We are talking about a very important archaeological place because it went back to the ancient history of Israel, to the patriarchs, in this case Jacob and his son Joseph -.
