Bible Comment:
Talk With Woman
Shows Jesus'
Great Humanity
M I HE ‘Good Samaritan” of the
Parable in Luke 10 shares New
Testament fame with another,
less important Samaritan —a
woman of John 4.
She is called “good” because
of what is associated with her
through conversation with Jesus
at Jacob’s well.
i She wasn’t a woman of good
reputation. She had had five hus
bands and was living with a man
who was not her husband.
) We do not know whether the
woman experienced a change of
heart, but Jesus must have seen
some good in her, or He would
hardly have spent so much time
talking to her.
The story, which occupies the
major part of John 4, emphasizes
these things:-
1. The humanity of Jesus and
His unconventionality, with His
complete freedom from preju
dice, racial and religious.
2. The realism of Jesus in dis
regarding the limiting customs
and manners of the time. It was
against usage for a man to talk
to a woman in a public place,
particularly when the woman
was a Samaritan of none too
savory life.
Jesus had no fear of “what
people will say” where goodness
and human values were involved.
3. The great words concerning
worship uttered during the con
versation.
4. The acknowledgment by
Jesus of His messiahship. “I
that speak unto you am He.”
5. Finally, the woman’s wit
ness and the fact that many be
lieved in Jesus, not only because
of her witness, but because they
had found Him themselves.

of the Board
Many a Georgia Power Company employe
is a “chairman of the board” in a very real
sense. In churches, schools, civic clubs, gar
den clubs, fraternal orders, you will find
power company men and women heading up
the committees, serving as board chairmen,
and actively working in the ranks.
Our employes take pride in their efforts
to be good citizens. They’re quick to “boost”
the home town, and furthermore they’re
ready to work in order to make it a better
place in which to live. Recall your own experi
ences with Georgia Power people, and you
will realize that they have helped out in
almost every worth-while civic project.
Our employes feel that it is not enough
to provide a community with good electric
service. They try to serve the community
in every other way they can. That is how
our employes wrote, with their accomplish
ments, the company’s slogan, which is printed
below as part of the company’s name.
