A woman from Samaria
Sermon11.2.18
“Invite”
Jesus crosses every man made barrier to reach this woman.
1. Ethnic barrier. Samaritans were not considered True Jees
2. Religious barrier. Samaritas were considered apostate jews.
3. Social barriers. Woman were not to be taught by a rabbi, only men.
Jesus satisfies our deepest longings.
Jesus brings up her husbands not to shame her, but to show He is a prophet who knows her heart thirst which the woman has been trying to quench through relationships with men.
We all try and some our deepest heart thirst with temporal delights and achievements such as careers, money, alcohol, you name it.
To help everyone meet Him.
New converts are often the best and most open evangelists. Mature converts tend to be much more subdued. Often to the point of silence. Why? Why do we grow weak. Why does our lamp grow dim? I am fickle and weak. Jesus, forgive me.
John 4:7English Standard Version
A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
- Amén
- I don’t understand that the purpose of Jesus’ dialogue with the woman was to show he was a profit. It was to reveal that He is the Messiah, made clear in verse 26
