Never Thirst Again | Harrison Campus | Church On The Beach

See some 2000 years ago, Jesus had a conversation with just one such woman.

Jesus was traveling with his disciples or his, his students.

They were making their way from Jerusalem up about this, about, um, 50 kilometers north to the town of Sakaar in Samaria.

And finally they make it to this well, Jacob's well, right outside the town of Sakaar and it's noontime.

It's hot.

And Jesus, tired from his travels, sat down there by this well and Now, I want to pick up the story in the Gospel of John.

That's the fourth book in the New Testament, the second half of the Bible.

If you have a Bible, I invite you to turn to John 4, 7 to 15.

If not, we also do have the passage in those brochures.

The text is small, but if you bring a microscope, you can read it.

It'll work for you.

But if you're able to, I invite you to stand for the reading of this passage from the Bible.

This is John 4, 7 to 15, just out of reverence for the word of God.

And we pick up the story there.

It says soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water.

And Jesus said to her, please give me a drink.

He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.

The woman was surprised for Jews refused to have anything to do with Samaritans.

She said to Jesus, please, You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman.

Why are you asking me for a drink? Jesus replied, if you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me and I would give you living water.

But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket.

She said, and this well is very deep.

Where would you get this living water? And besides, do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed? Jesus replied, anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.

But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again.

It becomes a fresh bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.
