Missional Principle #2 – Conversation
The second missional principle we see in John 4 is conversation. In John 4:7 Jesus asks the Samaritan woman at the well for a drink, just testing the relational waters if you will. I guess he didn’t have to talk to her… he could have just given her a little head nod, a little “whats up”, but no he just asks her a simple question. What’s so amazing is that this simple question floors this woman. She can’t understand why Jesus, a Jew, would even acknowledge a Samaritan. You know, it’s amazing what a simple question can do for someone. It’s amazing what just saying hello and maybe flashing some pearly whites can do for someone.
