Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 4:28-29

"So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people, Come, see a man, who told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?" — John 4:28-29 (ASV)

And went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Her notion was that when Christ came, he would tell all things.

Here was a man who revealed her innermost secrets; was he not the Christ?

And went her way into the city, and said to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

They must have been surprised to hear her talking about good things. There was no more likely messenger to win men, or to strike them with curiosity, than such a woman as this.

And saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

May we be made useful, even as this woman was, in bringing others to Christ's feet, for his dear name's sake! Amen.
