Yesu yakundaga abantu b’ibihugu byose n’ab’ubwoko bwose. Umunsi umwe Yesu yari yicaye wenyine ku iriba mu gihugu cy’i Samariya. Haza umugore uje kuvoma amazi. Yesu aramubwira ati, “mpa amazi yo kunywa” maze umugore aratangara cyane. Kuri uko gusaba, Yesu aba akuye ibintu bitanu bitandukanya abantu. Icya mbere, Yesu yari umugabo kandi yavugishaga umugore n’umudendezo. Icya kabiri, Yesu yari umuyuda kavukire, none yari ahuye n’Umunyasamariya. Icya gatatu,yari umwigisha w’abantu cumi na babiri bamukurikiye mu gihe umusamariyakazi yari umukene utagira n’inshuti. Icya kane, Yesu yari umugabo wiyubashye, mu gihe uwo mugore yari asuzuguritse. abana n’abagabo benshi.

Ni ikitegererezo cyacu mu kugera ku bandi.
Jesus loves people of all nations and kinds. One day Jesus was sitting alone at a well in the country of Samaria. A woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink” and the woman was astonished. With this simple request, Jesus broke down five barriers that separate people. First, Jesus was a man and He spoke freely to a woman. Second, Jesus was Jewish by race, yet He reached out to a despised Samaritan. Third, Jesus was a rabbi with twelve loyal followers, while the woman was poor and friendless. Fourth, Jesus was a man with high moral standards, while this woman led a loose life involving several men. Finally, Jesus rightly worshiped God in the Jewish temple, while the Samaritan woman worshipped in error on a mountaintop. Jesus crossed many boundaries to make a friend. He is our example in reaching out to others.
