No person is happier than a Christian, for he has the promise of the kingdom of heaven. No one strives harder than he, risking his life every day. There is no one stronger than him, as he overcomes Satan. Is there anyone more despicable than the Samaritan woman? But she was not the only one who believed. After her six men, she found the Lord. Not only did she recognize the Messiah at the well, whom the Jews failed to recognize in the temple, but she provided salvation to many, while the apostles were buying food to satisfy the Savior’s hunger and relieve him of his fatigue.
