Jesus example for personal evangelism (so far)
Evangelize- to preach the Christian gospel.
Jesus sets a great example and gives us some tools for personal evangelism.
Jesus see’s opportunity
Have everyone open bibles to Jn4, I will read vv.7-9 then go from there.
Jn4:7-9 “7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water.
Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)”
Jesus opened a conversation (4:7)
Have social contact, look for opportunities
Be ready to talk, receive others not like you
Jesus found common interest (4:7)
With Jesus it was about water, with old men it is about weather, or old women about old men, at least that is what I heard.
Don’t rush to the spiritual, develop the relations with someone.
Jesus oftentimes saw a physical need, met that first.
Jesus is asked questions (4:9)
Jesus actions sparks interest and question
Remember Jesus, Rabbi speaking to woman; speaking to Samaritan woman, speaking to immoral woman
A reminder that may our words and our actions spark interest not division.
Some things for us today before we get to our passage:
In personal evangelism arouse spiritual interest by our example
How can we arose spiritual interest?
In personal evangelism show kindness and compassion to everyone, including the wicked, or those who think, believe differently than we do.
In personal evangelism be willing to put aside any/all racial, social, personal prejudices
In personal evangelism may we remember the words of Peter as we do the words of Jesus
(Insert parallel with Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman PowerPoint here)
Jesus used a similar evangelism style with each, but made it very personal to the person.
For it has been said “There are certain truths which a man cannot accept; he must discover them for himself.”
(Transition) In other words we can lead a horse to water but we cannot make him drink.
And it is the same with the living water we are going to be discussing today.
So, here is where we are going:
The text and gleaning from it.
(Jn4:10-15)
Jesus sparks interest (Jn4:10-12)
Jesus is willing to give living water (jn4:10-12)
Jesus describes effects of living water (Jn4:13-15)
Gleaning from our text
In part two of our story we continue to look at the text with a focus on personal evangelism as exampled by Jesus.
So, let’s glean together from this evenings passage.
Who is the giver of the gift (v.10)?
God is the giver
What is the given gift (v.10)?
Living Water, the Word, Jesus
What observation did the woman make (v.11)?
That he had nothing to draw physical water with, and, where do YOU get this living water?
What conclusion, assumption does she make (v.12)?
You are not greater than Jacob are you?
Jesus makes two bold statements, promises in (vv.13-14), what are they?
One who drinks of this will thirst
One who drinks of the gift will never thirst
What is the response from the woman (v.15)?
I think now maybe should key in on the Living Water, meaning, scripture uses and what did Jesus mean by it regarding personal evangelism for just a few quick minutes
In the culture’s mindset Living water was running water, not stagnant water
In the Jewish spiritual mindset it also meant soul thirsting, quenching water from God.
(Insert Living Water PowerPoint here)
(other scriptures used, referenced: Isa12:3; Ps42:1; Isa55:1; Jer2:13)
I think I should give a couple of these scriptures just due to the rich text
and we need to remember, Israel had problems with it, may we not have the same problems
According to (Jer2:13) what had the people done?
Here is a bonus scripture for you not on your outline.
(Transition) now lets move on to our points regarding personal evangelism and Jesus example.
Jesus sparks an interest
Remember when it comes to personal evangelism we need to spark an interest.
Do you remember what the common interest was (v.9)?
Jesus words sparked interest and she ended up with a question (v.12) are You greater than Jacob?
Jesus willing to give living water
A gift is just that, a gift, you don’t earn it, but you have to receive it.
God gave the gift and the woman and us today have to be willing to receive the gift to enjoy the benefits, the blessings of the gift.
(Below not on the screen)
The gift of God brought about questions, more of a statement from Jesus then a question from the woman.
It brought about some questions (v.11)?
Gift from God, who are you that you say you can give a gift from God
How are you going to draw, you have no bucket?
(expand)
Where does this living water come from?
Are you greater than our father Jacob?
(Insert I’ve got a question slide here used before)
(Transition) When you think about a gift from God, outside of the gift of Jesus, forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit what do you think of?
Jesus describes effects of living water
Cause and effect, have you heard of that before?
Everything has a cause and an effect.
Jesus tells of the cause and effect of the gift given by God in this section.
Can you give an example of cause and effect?
Think for a minute, what was the cause of the effect that we are looking at?
God is the cause, Jesus is the instrument.
Who is effected by the cause?
Those who drink of the water Jesus is offering.
What is the effect of those who drink the living water given?
The water will become living water in them and will flow from them.
How does the living water flow?
What water is Jesus speaking of that will leave you thirsty again?
With the World it will not be satisfied
The living water will satisfy eternally
It is free, no cost to you
Her response was give it to me! - but the problem was she still was thinking literal not spiritual.
Her spiritual eyes were not yet open.
Personal evangelism - by Jesus example
We now get to the “so that” section, the, what we have learned reviewed so we can apply it.
Look for opportunities
