Friday. John 4: 28-42.

The woman found Jesus. She yielded to him. She was changed. She was so changed that people believed him just by seeing the change in her. That is the realest way of helping people know Jesus. Indeed, it is the way. No amount of preaching reveals Jesus to others, unless back of the words and in them there is that subtle, fragrant Jesus-touch that cannot be defined and cannot be resisted.
