Come, See Jesus!

The Samaritan woman runs from the town with open arms, calling her neighbors to come and meet Jesus. Behind her, men, women, children, and a camel pour out from the city gate, answering her urgent testimony. The large profile of Christ at the right anchors the composition, showing that the whole movement of the village is being drawn toward Him. This artwork portrays the moment after Jesus speaks with the woman at Jacob’s well, when she leaves her water jar and becomes a witness: “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did.” In John’s Gospel, her invitation leads many Samaritans to believe, revealing Jesus as the Savior not only of one woman, but of outsiders, villages, and nations. A strong visual for themes of evangelism, testimony, mission, living water, and the welcoming reach of Christ.
