*~*~*~*~* Different kinds of bottled water~*~*~**
* *
*Introduction*
* We meet four people in these opening chapters of John’s Gospel.
They are John the Baptist, Nathanael, Nicodemus, and TODAY the unnamed “woman at the well.”
* She is an incredible woman and one of my favorite passages in all of scripture.
And we don’t even know her name.
* John has talked about a new temple (driving people out of the temple), a new birth (with Nicodemus), and now he is going to talk about a new well with living water.
* Let’s take a look.
Read John 4:1-8.
*Cultural Expectations (4:1-9)*
* In every culture there are cultural taboos [табу].
What to do and not to do.
* In America… go to the refrigerator.
* Here is perfect example of what NOT to do:
* You do not go through Samaria.
Problems between Samaritans and Jews.
The history.
Avoid Samaria.
* You do not talk to women.
Interesting how the Bible portrays women.
Not like the culture.
* Jewish prayer: Thank you God that I am not a Gentile or a woman!
* So, you definitely do not talk to a Samaritan woman.
Vs.
9. Why are you talking to me?
* Jesus is always doing things we least likely expect of Him.
*Living Water (4:10-14)*
* Jesus here is not so much asking for something as offering the woman something.
He offers her living water.
* Vs. 9. “If you knew the gift of God,” [Ако би знаела Божия дар] and “who you are speaking to.” [и Кой е Онзи, Който ти казва: Дай Ми да пия]
* Show water.
Fake bottled water.
Best water is bottled at the source.
An invitation to know the source of this Living Water.
What is the source?
It is a gift of God through Jesus Christ.
* Living water is available to us when we accept God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross.
* Her basic question in verses 11-12 is, “who are you anyway?”
* He talks more about the Living Water in verses 13-14.
Never be thirsty and become a spring.
[Всеки, който пие от тая вода, пак ще ожаднее; а който пие от водата, която Аз ще му дам, няма да ожаднее до века; но водата, която ще му дам, ще стане в него извор на вода, която извира за вечен живот.]
* *Never thirst again.*
Many things we use to quench our thirst, Sex, drug, sock n roll.
BUT, we will always be thirsty again.
All of these things are temporary.
* *Become a spring for others*.
We will refresh others.
When we have the Living Water in us, it will also refresh others.
We will become a spring of new life.
People that make you feel better.
* What is Jesus offering to her? Everything she has ever wanted in life.
Because he knows something about this woman that we do not.
* *
* *
*Please… (4:15-18)*
* What does Jesus know about her?
She has had five husbands and is shacking up with a sixth.
* Why does Jesus say this to her now?
* There are some people who have presented the Gospel like a magic antibiotic.
Take this for one week and all of your problems will disappear.
* “Go get your husband….”
I can’t drink from two bottles at once.
I must choose.
* To drink of the Living Water I must be ready to lay aside all other sources, otherwise we will just make a mess.
People cause problems when they try to drink from two sources of water at once.
* Yes I believe in Jesus, but I need this other woman to fulfill my life
* Yes I am a Christian, but the main focus of my life is money.
* People curse the name of God because we a making a mess.
* Jesus makes this woman confront her ungodly choices and choose from which well she is going to drink.
“Go get your husband…”
*Religion (4:19-26)*
* This woman is very intelligent.
She is confronted by Jesus about her personal choices, so she plays the religion card.
[CARD GAME EXAMPLE]
* She brings up a religious debate between Jews and Samaritans, but Jesus pays her no attention.
Why?
Because it’s a smokescreen [???]
* People haven’t changed much in 2000 years.
When confronted about ungodly choices in our lives we often become very religious.
* I was baptized in the Orthodox Church.
* You members of a sect don’t know anything.
* Bulgaria has been a Christian country for over 1000 years.
* It is amazing how religious people become when you talk to them about choices that are not very good.
* The Samaritan Woman tries to use a religious argument to change the subject.
She is very intelligent, but Jesus dismisses her remarks.
* How does he answer her? [23 Но иде час, и сега е, когато истинските поклонници ще се покланят на Отца с дух и истина; защото такива иска Отец да бъдат поклонниците Му.]
No of this matters because true followers of God worship in spirit and in truth.
* New life, this new well of living water, does not come through religion, but by having a relationship with the Messiah – the One sent by God so that we don’t have to live in a dessert.
Our lives can be springs of living water.
*Conclusion*
* Jesus has talked about our bodies as temples.
We must allow him to clean the temple of our bodies by driving out hypocrisy.
* He has talked about a new birth with Nicodemus.
God does not just fix our lives, put back the pieces, but he makes us new when we follow him.
* God is also not trying to sell us something that will be a temporary fix.
He says that when we follow Him daily we will become a SPRING of NEW LIFE for others.
* Through Jesus we have a long-term alternative to the ordinary life.
BUT we must “go get our husbands.”
This is not another temporary fix.
* We must choose which bottle to drink from.
Is Jesus Christ going to be your source?
