A RARE BLEND
John 4:5-19
Jesus was so true. Gently, with exquisite tactfulness, but definitely, clearly, he put his finger down on the sore spot in this woman’s life, and held it there until she shrank under that firm touch; yet with such friendly humanness of touch that her life was radically changed. It was an exquisite blend of truth and grace, with the victory that that blend always brings. That was rare courage in its scarcity as well as in its preciousness.
