Just then his disciples arrived, and they were amazed that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, 

"What do you want?"

 or 

"Why are you talking with her?"

John 4:27 CSB

John's writing is hilarious, like he's narrating this scene, yet he is in the middle of it. These thoughts that the boys had were just as much his as anyone else's.

They must've talked about it amongst themselves, but no one asked Jesus.

For them, Jesus meeting with a woman was so outside their comfort zone no one could bring themselves to ask Jesus what was going on.

The point for me is the gulf between the hearts of the disciples and Jesus.

Jesus simply didn't care about their racism, sexism, their excluding, their looking down on groups, the judging of where people have come from, what their history is.

The labels.

For Jesus there is no them and us.

There's only us.

Jesus would (& does) find a way to show up the gulf between my heart and his. 

There's only us.
