The most important issues in Life are…

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
