Last week we began reflecting on the subject of Christian Conversion. We said then that conversion may be defined as turning away from sin and turning to God. Today we begin our look at the first of several stories of conversion recorded in the Bible.
Let us consider today the conversion of the “Woman of Samaria” (John 4:1-29). This Samaritan woman at the well is the first person to whom Jesus openly revealed Himself as Messiah. It is fitting that we start with this story of conversion because John’s purpose in writing his gospel is “to show that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believers might come to put their trust in Him and have eternal life” (John 20:30-31).
