In John 4:4-26 JESUS prophesied to a Samaritan woman. And as a result of the prophecy and the profound truths of CHRIST's Words to her, she believed that HE was the Messiah! She was so full of belief and assurance, that she went and told other Samaritans like herself that JESUS was the CHRIST! When the Samaritans experienced 1st hand the goodness of the LORD, they said, "Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." They knew for themselves! And that's how it should be for us all. It should be like: "Yeah, I heard your testimony of how great GOD's been to you. But I don't believe that JESUS is my SAVIOR based on your testimony. For I've experienced HIS goodness myself, and I'm convinced that JESUS is LORD because of what he's done for me!!" *KNOW FOR YOURSELF* that JESUS is LORD!

Psalm 34:8: "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him."
