Theme of Looking Towards Missions Conference
What is my role in reaching people
How can I be more effective in reaching people for Jesus Christ
What does it mean to have a world wide outlook
John 4:35
idiomatic expression they used in those days; to say there is no sense of urgency
Relax, we got four months
It’s no big deal
we don’t have to care about that now
Jesus is stating something people would say to bide their time
in other words; I want you to see something that you are not seeing
you can see it, you ought to see it, but you are not seeing it
I want you to lift up your eyes
It is right in front of your face
Something I am good at finding
Finding the milk another story
my wife with a voice of frustration
“it’s right in front of you”
“it’s not here”
this is the frustration that Jesus is having with his disciples
The Samaritan village people are on the way; the Samaritan woman Jesus has just dealt with is gathering many and bringing them to Jesus
The disciples have just come from the city buying groceries
but they did not see those people as harvest ready
They did not see those people as in need of Jesus Christ the Messiah
They did not see that Samaritan woman as someone needing Christ
THey were just too busy doing there stuff
What Jesus is saying is; you can say I have time for that and this, but if you open your eyes it is right in front of your face
I) The example that Jesus set (vs 7-27)
Jesus unlike human leaders today never asked others to do what he was not first willing to do himself
Jesus always shewed the way and then went the way
like what it says in the book of acts
see the order there
Jesus was willing to do, and then teach other people to do what he had already done
Leadership is not this; pointing
Leadership is this: follow me
Jesus was saying follow the way that I am walking
follow me, not go but follow
He is setting the example
Look right in front of you, and see what you have not been seeing
for 27 verses Jesus has been dealing with the woman of Samaria at the well
You know the story
Jesus has been ministering in Judaea with the disciples, They are not apostles yet, they have not been formally called
with the disciples, They are not apostles yet, they have not been officially called
there are not 12 of them yet, there are only 6
Peter, Andrew, James, John, Phillip and Nathaniel
the others have not been called yet
They have been ministering in Judaea and this isthe early part of Jesus ministry
for four months; John the Baptist and his disciples are ministering and Jesus and his disciples are ministering
After four months John the Baptist gets arrested
After four months John the Baptist is going to jail
and he is never going to get out
At this time Jesus decides he needs to go back to his hometown area of Galilee
Judaea is down south, and Galilee is 80 miles north of Judaea
Right smack in the middle is Samaria
Typically the Jews would not go through Samaria
THe Jews would want to get to Galilee from Judaea but wouldnot want to go through Samaria; why?
We do not like the samaritans
Samaritans are half breeds; half jew and half something else
We are prejudice
we have no dealings with the Samaritans
The feeling was mutual; the Samaritans would have no dealings with the Jews
In fact the only time they would deal with each other was in buying and selling
other than that; we are not marrying each other, we are not friends with each other, we are not hanging out with each other, we do not go to parties with each other
we do not like each other at all
In fact when the Jew would want to go to Galilee from Judaea he would avoid Samaria altogether and go to the river jordan valley, up the river and then cut back in
a time wasting route
but at least I do not have to deal with those grimy Samaritans
but Jesus
john 4:
Jesus unlike the average Jew of his day was not ruled by prejudice
Jesus unlike the average person had a heart for everybody
and when he got to a place in Samaria called Sychar
Outside of the city is a little well called Jacob’s well
and there Jesus sat on the well
he sat on the well because he was tired
Jesus was all God but also all man
the hypostatic union as we call it
as a human being he got tired just as you and I get tired
Jesus sat on the well; he is tired and worn out
He sat on the well and the disciples went into town
Why? for what purpose?
Not for ministry, we minister in Judaea
We are going to go minister in Galilee to our countrymen
Never crossed their mind for any other purpose other than to buy some meat
never crossed their mind that the Samaritans would also need the Messiah
they went and did some grocery shopping
in the mean time Jesus talked to the woman at the well
and Jesus told her Give me to drink
And she answered him
John 4:
if you knew who I was you would ask me for water
she answered I think sarcastically oh give me some of that water (vs 15)
Then Jesus began to ask her some questions about her life
and she thought he is a prophet
she finally realizes he is messiah
shes convinced
she leaves her water pot there; that was the whole reason that she came
When Jesus gets in your life he changes your purposes
you need to see him for yourself
This is the example Jesus set
