Introduction
Loved
John 4:1-
Going through the area was outside the box.
The woman was a social outcast.
She was an adulterous woman, the other women in town were most likely appalled by her presence, so she did not get water with the other women.
Instead she went at the hottest part of the day, a time to cloak her shame and be away from the sneering jabs of self-righteous people.
Self-righteous people are typically the fissiparous people on the planet.
They will cut and divide.
This is why Jesus sought to reach this woman.
No one had to tell her she had a sin problem, she already knew.
John 4:4-
John 4:7-
Abandoning the social norms of the day, Jesus not only spoke with a Samaritan He also spoke with a woman.
In that day, public conversations between men and women were taboo.
Conversations between Jews and Samaritans were also taboo especially with strangers.
Lost
John 4:9-10
Continuing with his war against the social norms of His day, Jesus continues to speak with her, but pushes even further the spiritual agenda.
There comes a point in every conversation that we have to commit to telling them.
We want to make connections here as a church, but remember the reason for connecting with them is to one day be able to reach them with the Gospel.
:11-
The physical realm and the spiritual realm are fuzzy to her.
Lost people do not know the way, otherwise they would not be lost.
John 4:16-
Truth without condemnation
John 4:19-
John 4:22-
John 4:26-
Liberated
:28-30
The converted life brings people to see Jesus.
Liberation from sin makes us capable to deal with guilt, fear and even rejection.
She lefter her waterpot to go tell a village, that knows who she is, all about her liberation from sin.
Her face probably worn from being in the hottest part of the sun, day in and day out.
A look that was, at one time filled with shame, is not nothing but joyful as she has been freed from bondage.
The point is not that she was told what she did as much as she was liberated from what she was!
Conversion is all about liberation!!
John 4:
One preacher said that at this point you can see the parade of clowns coming into the seen.
This bumbling bunch would represent most Christians today.
They come into the seen, unaware of what God is doing and what to run the show.
Here the disciples come in and want to make this all about getting Christ some food, when He wants to make it all about Liberating people from their sin.
John 4:
John 4:
Did the Master go to subway while we were gone?
But Jesus tries to get them back on point quickly by telling them He is there to do the work of the Father.
Instead they are still in left field.
So He illustrates for them what needs to be said that the reason He was there was not just so He could eat and drink, but to liberate sinners.
After all in Romans the Bible tells us:
John 4:39-42
Converted people bring people to Jesus.
Converted people do not say things like, “that’s just the way I am,” when talking about their sin.
Converted people are liberated from that sin and seek a life with “the way I was.”
Patrick Henry’s speech about our freedom was “Give me Liberty or give me death.”
In a nation it is wonderful to have freedom.
It the spiritual realm, Liberty is Life eternal and bondage is death.
The new Hymn says it well:
The Father looks on me and sees
Not what I was or am;
He views the righteousness of Christ,
And not my cursed sin.
The Father looks and pities me;
He knows that I am dust.
He treats me not as I deserve,
But as though I were just.
The Father looks on me and smiles,
For it is Christ He sees;
“This is my own beloved son,
In Whom I am well please.”
