Stories
A woman at a well
Eph 4
John 4
:
John 4
This is a story that has been taught over and over.
A story that, if you've been in church for any length of time, you have heard and probably know.
This unnamed woman sits and has a talk with Jesus then walks away changed.
Heard it a bunch of times.
But is that how Jesus would remember it?
If that how she would remember it?
I doubt it.
How can we L
For the sake of the story, lets give this unnamed woman a name.
Lets call her Sarah.
As Sarah wakes up that morning, its another day.
Another day to make it though.
Another battle, another fight.
As she thinks about her life.
Maybe she thinks what a waste.
I had hopes and dreams, of life could be.
Dreams of love.
Dreams of a family.
As she entered that first relationship, love was bliss.
It was the dream that she hoped for.
But things didnt work out.
Devastated by the heartbreak, feeling unwanted, unloved.
She meets another man.
Now renewed hope.
There are second chances.
But met with disappointment.
Heartbreak all over again.
She's devastated and crushed.
Alone.
Somewhere she finds the strength to try this all over again.
Despite the stigma she has already gotten.
As people now look at her a certain way.
You know the look.
The look of question.
The look of “Its your fault your there.
I dont know why you would make those life choices”
She runs through this cycle three more times.
Three more husbands.
Three more attemts at her dreams.
By this point she thinks I really am nothing.
I really do come from nothing.
Im a worthless samaritian.
I dont even know why I try.
I just want love.
I just want value.
I just want satifaction.
Something to live for.
As shes still standing there in her room that morning trying to hold together all the emotions as she reminises about the past and how she got to where she is now.
She makes it to the kitchen looking out across the city to the well.
Seeing a few women left from the morning she waits.
Knowing the shame and the stigma that surounds her.
The man she slept with last night still stooped over the bed at 11:30.
She knows she needs to get water for the day.
She checks one more time.
The coast is clear.
She grabs her contianer and goes out into the heat.
As shes filling her contianer.
Still thinking of how she wishes she could be like the other women who went out early in the cool of the morning to get water for thier families.
A man says something to her.
She almost has to snap out of it.
As she looks she sees a jew.
He wants a drink....

john 4:
We’ll come back to this story in a minute....
Jake (Someone that loves Jesus but still an outcast)
Jake was a Kid, about my age.
Just out of Youth Group.
Jake was a little different.
He would come up to talk to you and would tell you about his week.
He would tell you about some stuff he was reading or his Job.
But he would always talk about Jesus.
Almost to much…
To the point poeple would avoid him.
He just wouldnt stop talking.
He was on some medications for add, adhd, and some other mental and behavior problems.
But Jake was an outcast.
I remember one time he said he stopped by my house and I wasnt home.
He was telling me how cute our dog was and he just couldnt help himslef he just had to go inside and pet it.
So he did.
My first thought was I need to lock my door.
Outcasts are not always the people that are on the outskirts fo town, sometimes theyre the poeple you keep at an arms distances.
Thats your first thought.
Not them, or the Gospel or thier needs.
A few months aftewr that I began to think about Jake and how he was an incredible example of someone that just outright loved Jesus.
That week I taught in Youth Group about being more like Jake.
What I didnt know was He was still an outcast.
He had dicided to end his own life that wednesday night.
He was done.
Tedd (Someone who was a little different, so he was an outcast)
Most of you know the desk that is in my office.
It came from a slab lumber shop in brimfield.
Ownd by a guy named Tedd.
Tedd was a guy a new in passing as a teen.
He was a church on occassion.
He was a little different.
