The Samaritan Woman and the Testimony of Jacob's Well - John Piper

The longest conversation Jesus had with anyone wasn't with an apostle or a Pharisee - it was with a rejected Samaritan woman at a well. In this message, John walks us back through Shechem, Jacob's well, and the two mountains where Israel once stood to hear the law declared, before following Jesus into Samaria - where the gospel first broke out, not in Jerusalem, but through a woman nobody wanted. From the divided kingdom and the centuries of bitterness between Jew and Samaritan, to a tired Christ who deliberately walks into hostile territory at noon, to a woman drawing water alone because her own village has shut her out - this message traces how Jesus crossed every barrier (ethnicity, gender, purity, shame) to reveal himself as the Messiah for the very first time. Not to an apostle. To her.
