John 4: 1-42
Jesus, the Living Water is for EVERYONE – including a sexually scarred, sinful, outcasted Samaritan woman. And as the 1st and greatest missionary, Jesus Christ, the Living Water, transforms this woman’s life; and in turn she impacts her village for Jesus.
As Jesus takes his disciples on a road trip towards the northern part of Israel, away from Jerusalem, he takes an unexpected route. Jesus has a divine appointment with a Samaritan woman who is thirsty for Living water.
Notice in the text how Jesus shows His disciples (and shows us today) how to live as a missionary, and impact our world for Jesus.
4 ways Jesus models for us how to be a missionary:
1.) Jesus the lost (John 4:4, 7-15)
• Jesus crossed barriers. (John 4:4)
• Jesus crossed barriers. (John 4:7-9a,27)
• Jesus crossed barriers. (John 4:9b)
2.) Jesus His deity (John 4:19-26)
3.) Jesus the disciples (John 4: 27-38)
4.) Jesus the city (John 4:39-42)
Impact Point – Look for 1 person this week, and offer them a of the Living Water of Jesus Christ.
