Life Thoughts for the Church Year. Loving the unlovable—a sinful, Samaritan woman—boldly confronting sin—“Go call your husband,”—mercifully revealing salvation— “I who speak to you am he” (John 4:16-26). Jesus demonstrates a pattern worth repeating and repeating and repeating as we deal with sin and sinners as the Body of Christ.
