“¦he that winneth souls is wise.” Proverb 11:3

“He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. And he must needs go through Samaria. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink” (John 4:3-7).

Oh, where would we be without this model for soul-winning? Here and in John 3, we have the only dialogues that focus purely on soul-winning in all the gospels.

Without these stories, we would be much amiss in knowing how to go about winning a soul to Jesus. We may say, yes, we know that Jesus came to seek and to save that which is lost, but we wish he had given us at least one example of how specifically it is to be done. Glory to God – we have an example in the story of the Samaritan woman.
