"Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well.
*He is the first person
in the story to name His desire—He is thirsty.
So, He asks the Samaritan
woman for a drink. 
She imitates His desire by declaring her thirst as
well; she wants “living water.” (John4:1)
Desire then goes viral, and spreads
exponentially. She shares her desire with the town, many of whom
identify their own desire by borrowing hers. As a result, “many
believe.” (John 4:41)
What’s being described here is the process of social contagion.
This is how the Gospel spreads.
Jesus and the Samaritan woman show us the way to spread a friendly virus of God’s affection."
