And they told the woman,

"We no longer believe because of what you said, 

since we have heard for ourselves 

and know 

that this really is

the Savior of the world."

John 4:39-42 CSB

Our friend at the well just told her story.

And that was enough.

And then the people of her town met Jesus for themselves.

We don't get quite the same opportunity to invite Jesus around for a BBQ, to stay a few nights, but somehow, through our stories, through his Word, through his Spirit, through seeking, 

through being open to being sought, 

through the love and kindness and grace of God's people as they live to imitate Jesus, 

when the person up front at church rather than tell a well-polished story trips over their words because there mind is more on God than us, when the singer forgets they have a microphone in hand and just praises God, 

when a struggling, hurting person calls out to God, 

when we get a tiny glimpse of heaven, of how it should be,

when we get a word of courage from someone,  somehow, 

when we serve without expecting thanks,

when we give without anyone knowing, 

when we love without measure, 

when we get a glimpse of how tall and wide and deep His love is for us,

we get to meet Jesus.
