Read: Come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could he be the Messiah? John 4:29
Examine:
Encounter with Jesus: In Samaria, Jesus came to a town named by the well of Jacob. Jesus was tired, a Samaritan woman came to draw some water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink of water. The woman was surprised as Jews will not use the same cups and bowls that Samaritans use.
Conversation with Jesus: Jesus answered, “If you only knew what God gives and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you life-giving water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you don’t have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where would you get that life-giving water? Jesus answered The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.”
Knowledge of Jesus: Later Jesus asks Go and call your husband,” and she replies I don’t have a husband. Jesus replied, “You are right when you say you don’t have a husband. You have been married to five men, and the man you live with now is not your husband. You have told me the truth.”
Revelation of Jesus: “I see you are a prophet, sir,” the woman said. She responds to this by asking for worship. Jesus told her, “Believe me, woman, the time will come when people will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah will come. Jesus answered, “I am he, I who am talking with you.”
Minister of Jesus: Then the woman left her water jar, went back to the town, and said to the people there, “Come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could he be the Messiah?” So they left the town and went to Jesus.
Application: One of the most unexpected women, whose family life was shattered and the current man with whom she stays is not her husband and being a Samaritan, still meeting Jesus her life completely changes. It shows that encounter with Jesus is truly transformational
Also, how her knowledge of Jesus increases as she keeps on communicating with Jesus, so that truly encourages us, more we spend time with Jesus in prayer and studying the word of God will transform us and our understanding of Jesus will change. And there is true change
Decision: Like the Samaritan women Lord Jesus I want to go and share about you and what you have done in my life. I wanted to spend more time with you all alone so that I would know more of you, Jesus.
