Samaritan Woman (2)
A reading from the Gospel of Saint John 4, 16 – 26:
Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, “Go call your husband and come back.” The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus answered her, “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true.” This woman said to him, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain; but you people say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You people worship what you do not understand; we worship what we understand, because salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth, and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him. God is Spirit, an those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.” The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming, the one called the Anointed; when he comes, he will tells us everything.” Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”
This evening we had about two hours of wet snow. It fell on the ground and melted at once. At one time it was coming down heavily. However, in the evening it stopped. This means that it is cold outside about one degree Celsius. If my oil tank goes dry it will be cold tonight. I hope I can get some money soon to fill my tank. I do not want to get another cold for it will be freezing during the night.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I call you My brother Melvin and all my brothers and sisters to believe in Me as the Messiah, the Savior of the world. I told the Samaritan woman after she said that the Messiah was coming that I was the Messiah. Yes, I was sent by My Father to come down upon earth to save the people of the world. I am the only Son of the Father who asked Me to be born as a human being. He selected My dear Mother Mary to be My Mother and to take care of Me when I was young. She and Saint Joseph did a great work to care for Me after My birth and they have a great and wonderful love for Me. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for Me. It was only when I reached thirty years of age that I began My public life and traveled all over Israel preaching the Word of God and doing many miracles to show the people that indeed I was the Messiah they were waiting for. A good number of Jews accept Me as the Messiah among them the Apostles but the leaders of the Jews rejected Me and had Me arrested, scourged Me and at the end nailed Me to the cross where I died a horrible death. However, My death on the cross was My sacrifice to atone for all your sins. Three days after My death, I came back to life never to die again. Come My brothers and sisters and believe in Me as your Savior for that is what I am. I will return to earth in the future to judge all the living and the dead. Follow Me today and every day so that when I come I will take you to heaven. I love you all and I want you all with Me.”
