John 4: 6-9 Jesus has a conversation with a woman at a well
If you had the opportunity, like this woman, to have a conversation with Jesus – What would you ask Him?
How to be more successful in Life?
How to be happy?
How to make more money?
These questions are important – RIGHT? – Not as important as you may think
Jesus did not discuss any of these questions with her
Because there are more important issues in Life that need answers
So, what did Jesus and this woman talk about?
1/ What is the Source of Eternal Life?
John 4: 10-11 People are confused about Eternal Life
Jesus said that He/Himself was the Source of Eternal Life! V13-14
Without water, every living thing dies
Without Christ, our spirit/soul dies too
2/ Why is my Life a mess?
John 4: 16-18
She had 5 Husbands and was living with another man
Was she unfaithful to her husbands and they divorced her?
Whatever the problems were, Sin was at the heart of her mess
Sin is the Source of all suffering
Sin is the Human ‘condition’ without Christ
3/ How do I worship God?
John 4: 20
Is the right place to worship God…A Cathedral? ATemple? A Mosque?
No, the place means nothing -it is about the Person we worship!
V 23-24
You can only, truly, worship God, if you know Him
4/ Who is Jesus Christ?
John 4: 9 She recognized Jesus as a Jew
John 4: 11 She respected Him and called Him ‘Sir’
John 4: 19 She suspected He was a Prophet
Jesus Christ is more than just a Jew, a great Teacher, a Prophet V 25-26
He is the Savior of the World V 39-42
Success, happiness and money are not the most important issues in Life!
Yet, just about everyone thinks they are
The most important issues are Eternal Life, Sin, Knowing God and receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior
