To Show Who He Was
Reason #1
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
He led her to where she needed to be
They met in verse 7.
He doesn't tell her who He was until verse 26
For Her
It meant more this way
God laid everything out for us
2 Peter 1:3
as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
For Us
He didn't just come out and tell us.
Her Take Away
She didn't understand what Jesus was talking about.
But she was not unintelligent
Her Take Away
How could she understand:
- Eternal water
- How He knew about her husbands
- What He meant by truth and spirit
It took time, conversation, and contemplation
Our Take Away
You don't know everything
The more time, conversation, and contemplation we spend, the more we understand God
Our Take Away
We have so many chances to talk to God
Show Her The Need For A Change
Reason #2
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” 15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Jesus tells her of living water
She asks for physical water
She was asking for salvation
Jesus tells her to call her husband
For Her
Did He change the subject?
Jesus points out the tings that keep her from achieving salvation
Romans 3:23
We all (continually) sin.
That sin separates you from God
No matter how small that sin is
For US
If worship brings us closer, sin takes us farther away
Her Reaction
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
Her Reaction
Our Reaction
Our Reaction
Sounds like our goal is perfection
Show Himself To Others
Reason #3
42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed [a]the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
28 The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
For Her
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”
Are We Like The Woman
Are we so convicted that we make people question their own beliefs?
For Us
She took them to Jesus both physically and metaphorically.
We can only take them to the Bible
How He Used Her
29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
How He Used Her
42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed [a]the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
How He Uses Us
1 Corinthians 3:6
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
How He Uses Us
Conclusion
1. Show Who He is.
2. Show The Need For A Change.
3. Show Others Through Us
