John 4:27-42 As is so often the case in John's

Gospel, the individuals who encounter Jesus are, at least

initially, sorely unaware of just who He is. In our current passage

of study, we discover again this to be the theme as Jesus reveals

Himself to an unnamed woman, the very disciples who are committed

to Him, and finally a town which is the least likely suspect. The

transformation wrought in each scenario beckons to any with ears to

hear of the Christ who will again make new the one who will look to

Him in faith.
