The Soul Winner From Sychar
(Both ends of the spectrum)
Utawala Baptist Church
19~/07~/09
*Scripture Reading: John 4: 7 – 10*
*In John chapter three and four we see Jesus dealing with two extremes.*
*In John 3 Jesus deals with a self-righteous Pharisee in John 4 an adulterous woman.*
* *
*A VIVID CONTRAST*
* NICODEMUS THE WOMAN*
* A JEW A SAMARITAN*
* A MAN A WOMAN*
* A RELIGIOUS LEADER AN IGNORANT WOMAN*
* HIGHEST CLASS OUTCAST*
* WEALTHY POOR*
*RECOGNIZED JESUS HAD NO IDEA WHO JESUS WAS *
*They couldn’t be more different!*
*This isn’t just the story of the Samaritan woman!*
*But also and maybe more so an account of Jesus’ self-revelation as the Messiah.*
*Why didn’t Jesus walk into downtown Jerusalem and reveal who he was?*
* *
*Rather he chose to reveal himself to the adulterous Samaritan woman!*
*a. **Certainly He intended to show that the gospel was for the whole world not just for the Hebrew race.*
*b. **That his ministry was for the poor outcast as well as the religious elite.*
*c. **It was a rebuke to the Jewish leaders that their Messiah ignored them and revealed himself to a Samaritan adulteress.*
* *
*When He finally did reveal himself to the Jewish leaders they did not believe Him anyway.
*
*5 POINTS*
*1.The Lesson of the Well*
* /Christ Came to Seek and Save the Lost/*
* John 4:1-5*
* ** Verse 1 tells us the word was out about Jesus’ success.*
* We find that there was a problem.*
*The Jewish leaders had started a problem between Jesus and John the Baptist *
*John 1: 24*
*John 3:25 *
*Jesus would allow no interference between His ministry and that of John the Baptist.*
* Nothing then and nothing now can be allowed to hinder the Gospel.*
*He left Judea not because He was afraid of the Pharisees but because He had to pass through Samaria!*
* *
*Traveling through Samaria was far from normal far a Jew.
Although the most direct route went through Samaria the Jews never went that way.*
*The Jews had their own route.
*
*Jesus could have taken that route!*
*But HE Didn’t!*
*WHY?*
*Because He had to fulfill a divine appointment at Jacob’s well.*
*Jacob’s Well is a very historic place to this day!*
*Genesis 50:25*
*Joshua 24:29-32*
*Because Jesus had come to seek and save the lost!
Luke 19:8-10 *
*He was at the appointed place in God’s timing.
To seek and save a single pathetic wretched woman!*
* *
*2.
The Lesson of the Woman*
*/God is no respecter of Persons/*
*John 4: 7-8*
*This woman was a moral outcast ostracized for society.*
* Give me a drink!
Verse 7*
* **Surely startled her!*
* Amazed the Jesus would talk to her.*
* The religious differences between the Jews and the Samaritans*
* were very serious and very deep.*
* Much less ask for a drink from her unclean vessel!*
* *
* John 4:9-10 *
* **The Gentiles hear the “Good News”!*
*` Acts 10:34:35*
* What is right?*
* Ephesians 2:8-9*
*Notice Jesus did not allow himself to be distracted by the woman’s comment in John 4:9 *
*Jesus was not ashamed to take a drink from the vessel of a woman for whom He had come to die!*
*No one not Nicodemus the Pharisees or this woman are beyond the reach of the divine love of Jesus!*
*NOR ARE WE TODAY!*
* *
*3.
The Lesson of the Water*
*Everyone who Thirsts May Come*
*John 4:11-12*
* **The woman was thinking of literal physical water.*
*The woman’s use of the phrase “our father” was an offense to the Jewish teaching and belief of being Jacob’s children.*
*But Jesus didn’t allow himself to become diverted from the need at hand *
*Jesus was incomparably greater than Jacob and His water was infinitely better than Jacob’s water!*
* Jesus was offering living water.*
*Living water!*
* Moving flowing water!*
*Ritual cleansing*
*A requirement for a synagogue!*
*John 4:13-15*
*The offer of “living water” is not only to religious people like Nicodemus!
Everyone who thirsts is invited to drink deeply of the living water even an adulterous woman!*
*But unfortunately people chose be the like the nation of Israel in Jeremiah’s day.*
*Jeremiah 2:13*
* 4.
The Lesson of True Worship*
*/Now is the Accepted time./*
*John 4:16-18*
*The conversation goes beyond water to the heart of the matter!*
*John 4:19*
*The Samaritans were expecting a prophet ever since Deut.
18:15*
*John 4:21-24 *
*True worship occurs not on a mountain top or in a temple!*
*Not in a temple in Jerusalem or on a mountaintop in Samaria!*
*BUT IN OUR HEARTS!*
*Jesus is not neutral here!
He presents the Jewish position clearly and strongly!*
*John 4:25-26*
*Note the woman’s’ statement of faith in the coming Messiah*
