A person may recommend a book, a speaker or a message that has deeply impacted their life. As they describe it, curiosity begins to grow and a desire is stirred to find out whether it is really as good as they claim. Yet after reading the book or listening to the speaker personally, one may discover that the experience is far richer than could ever have been fully explained by another person.
In today's passage, many Samaritans first came to Jesus because of the testimony of the woman at the well. Her words stirred their interest and prompted them to come and see for themselves. But after hearing Jesus personally, they declared the words in this passage. Their faith had moved to a personal conviction that Jesus is indeed the Savior of the world.
Testimonies can point the way, but lasting faith is strengthened when we hear His voice for ourselves.
