One of the first parables Jesus told his disciples was that of the Sower, where seeds are sown on different kinds of soil with varying results.

In Samaria there is much 'good soil' and the people there receive the word of God.

One thing we can be sure of is that the Word of God always succeeds in the purpose for which God sends it.
