4:15 Boldness in Jesus’ Presence Although the Samaritan woman knew it was not socially appropriate, she asked directly for Jesus to give her some of his living water. There is no veil of formality here. What we learn about her suggests that she was extremely desperate. After all, she had experienced a lot of disappointment. No matter what, she knew she needed what Jesus had to offer. And he was more than willing to oblige her bold request.
4:46-54 Jesus Cares about Our Loved Ones Jesus revealed how much he shares our concerns. A deeply worried official was concerned about his son who was near death. Jesus showed concern by listening to the man and healing his son, without even going to see the boy. When we pray, God always listens and acts on our behalf in accordance with his divine will.
