You Talkin’ to Me? Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.” – John 4:9 “You talkin’ to me?” is not a phrase uncommon to the urban world. We’re not “talkin’” about a polite inquiry here. We’re talking about a phrase of indignation. It’s a phrase that can invite violence. It’s a phrase that puts up a barrier; it announces someone has crossed the line; the imaginary boundary that protects personal space. One way or the other, it’s a phrase of clarification. It brings a conversation into focus and identifies the parties speaking. When you read a message like this, hear a sermon or someone tries to engage you in a conversation concerning the things of God maybe you say or think, “You talkin’ to me?” Is that for me? If you aren’t walking with the Lord, Jesus is talkin’ to you. Are you listening? We see a version of “You talkin’ to me?” in a conversation between Jesus and a Samaritan woman in John 4. Jesus purposely went into a Jewish no travel zone known as Samaria. The account states, “But He needed to go through Samaria” (John 4:1-6a). Jesus had a divine appointment to keep.

Maybe you’ll discover God has a divine appointment for you too. God bless.
