Bottomline: Jesus came to save all.
WK 2 - February 18 TEACHING - Ch. 3 + 4 - Nicodemus/Woman at the Well
Jesus is for all people
Eugene Peterson contrasts Nicodemus and the Samaritan Woman - Jesus is for all people (Christ Plays in 10,000 Places)
“Racial background, religious identity, and moral track record are neither here nor there in matters of spirituality.
The man is named; the woman is unnamed.
Reputation and standing in the community don’t seem to count for anything.”
Intro- Recap
A man and a woman.
City and country.
An insider and an outsider.
A professional and a layperson.
A respectable man and a disreputable woman.
An orthodox and a heretic.
One who takes initiative; one who lets it be taken.
One named, the other anonymous.
Human reputation at risk; divine reputation at risk.
To be born a Jew was to be an inheritor of the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus would have been astounded by Jesus’ statement that he as a Jew would not see the kingdom of God unless he were ‘born again’.
You can only be born again if you are willing to let your past die.
One takes place in the city and one in the country.
Geography and culture doesn’t matter.
One comes from the elite and well to do.
One is social outcast from the background.
The man is named and the woman is not.
One story is about a man and one about a woman.
Jesus doesn’t prefer or love one more.
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John—2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.
3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.
5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well.
It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
One takes place in the city and one in the country.
Geography and culture doesn’t matter.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep.
Where can you get this living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
One comes from the elite and well to do.
One is social outcast from the background.
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.
What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.
20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming.
When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
The man is named and the woman is not.
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
A man and a woman.
City and country.
An insider and an outsider.
A professional and a layperson.
A respectable man and a disreputable woman.
An orthodox and a heretic.
One who takes initiative; one who lets it be taken.
One named, the other anonymous.
Human reputation at risk; divine reputation at risk.
Your worth and value isn’t found in who you are or who you are not.
It is found in whose you are.
Jesus came to save all.
Jesus didn’t come to recalibrate religion, He came to unleash the Spirit.
Jesus didn’t come to recalibrate religion, He came to unleash the Spirit.
We believe that the love of Christ transforms us.
Jesus didn’t come to recalibrate religion, He came to unleash the Spirit.
