Jesus initiated a conversation with a woman. His disciples found Him talking with a woman and were surprised. Surely they were surprised because they didn't know Him very well, yet. Jesus told her that He was the Messiah. She believed Him and immediately started telling the whole town. They believed because of her testimony and eventually came to believe because of their own experience. No miracles necessary. All this took place in a land where they were supposed to be pre-disposed against Jews, and therefore, God. Jesus then went to a land filled with 'good Jews', who should have been pre-disposed toward belief in His coming. His experience there was very different, causing Him to say, "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe." Which kind of people are we?
