Today’s Gospel is about the Samaritan woman, or we may say about the meeting of the LORD JESUS with the Samaritan woman.  I don’t think that any Christian does not know the story of the Samaritan woman mentioned in the Gospel of St john chapter 4.
The Church cares about this chapter and read it three times throughout the year, in the Holy Great Lent, during the Holy Fifty days after the Easter and in the evening of the feast of the Pentecost.
The Church also insists that during the Great Holy Lent there should be a Sunday known as the Sunday of the Samaritan, this is in the middle of the Lent, the 4th Sunday.  
The meeting of the LORD JESUS with the Samaritan woman proofs a very important point, and that is the LORD GOD loves all of mankind.  There was a great enmity between the Jews and the Samaritans. but, the LORD JESUS is not just a simple Jew, HE is the Saviour of the whole World, HE was the one about WHOM it was said “John 3:15 so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” HE loved the whole world, Samaritans, and Egyptians…….70 nations mentioned in the book of Genesis all of them were loved by the LORD JESUS.
1- The choice of the LORD JESUS to deal with the Samaritan woman was a proof that our LORD JESUS CHRIST has no enmity with no one of the mankind, if this person was a Jew HE would have dealt with him to lead him to Heave, if he was a Gentile HE would have dealt with him to lead him to heaven, if he was an atheist HE would have dealt with him to lead him to Heaven, if this person was a Samaritan desecrating the true belief with idolatries beliefs HE would have dealt with him to lead him to Heave, HE cares about everyone and was ready to even die for him, the LORD JESUS “1Ti 2:4  who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
2- In the Great Lent the Church is giving us a great hope that no matter my sins were or my weaknesses the LORD JESUS is seeking me to save me, if HE has walked for more than 6 hours to meet with this Samaritan woman and to sit talking to her for a long time, doesn’t this teach us not to belittle or disgrace the sinners?
It is very important that we know that the meeting of the LORD JESUS with the Samaritan woman ended with:
1- The Samaritan woman was changed to a preacher for the LORD JESUS when she went back into Samaria and said “John 4:29 Come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Is this One not the Christ?”
2- John 4:39-40  And many of the Samaritans of that city believed upon Him, they begged Him that He would stay with them. And He stayed there two days.
3- The LORD JESUS stayed in Samaria for two more days, isn’t this strange, HE is a Jew and yet stayed with the Samaritans talking, eating and sleeping with them and they even said “John 4:42
4- The LORD JESUS made one’s peace between the Jews and the Samaritan when HE has said to HIS disciples “Act 1:8 But you shall receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you. And you shall be witnesses to Me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
