How does Jesus show patience towards sinners?

In the account of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:10-26), we see His remarkable patience and understanding. Despite her ignorance and a life marked by sin, Christ does not condemn her but engages in a dialogue that unveils her true need for salvation. His approach illustrates the compassion characteristic of God, who desires to draw the lost into a relationship with Him. Through His patient dealings, Jesus exemplifies how God waits for the sinner to respond to His grace, emphasizing that His mercy and love extend even to the most marginalized and confused.
