The Gospel of John 4v1-42 ABC… All the Bible in its Context Why have faith in Jesus ?

Let’s remember the context ! John uses the word “believe” 98 times in this book. That’s what it’s all about... why should I trust Jesus ? It’s more than believing facts about Him.

This book reveals several reasons we have faith in Jesus. Jn1-3 the witnesses Jn4-11 Jesus’ words Jn12-17 his followers Jn18-21 the Gospel It’s good to review !

Remember the witnesses ? John the baptist gave his testimony because of Jesus’ baptism. The disciples were witness at Cana because of Jesus’ transforming power. Nicodemus confessed what he saw because Jesus give new life. That’s powerful stuff !

But, what about His words ? Let’s continue our journey with Jesus in John’s Gospel.

Let’s listen to Jesus talk. Open your Bible with me to the Gospel of John 4v1-42. Let’s look for any repeated key words.

Notice John 4v7-15. “There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 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 answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water ? "You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw." NASB Water 8x + Drink 6x = 14x

It’s all about water !

vs7-15 use these key words 6x ! “Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again ; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.’" John 4v13-14 NASB By zooming into to the central verses we get the message.

Everyone needs to drink. “Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again ; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.’" John 4v13-14 NASB There is a thirst that only Jesus can satisfy.

What is that thirst ? “The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.’” John 4v15-16 NASB She missed the point and so do a lot of people.

Jesus answered her prayer anyway. “The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw.’ He said to her, ‘Go, call your husband and come here…’ John 4v15-16 NASB What is this living water ?

We could imagine many things. Was He speaking of giving her an abundant prosperous life ? or Was He speaking of giving her the Holy Spirit that day ? What does the Bible say ?

He just spoke to her.

Jesus just talked to her. “He said to her, ‘Go, call your husband and come here.’ The woman answered and said, ‘I have no husband.’ Jesus said to her, ‘You have correctly said, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.’ ” John 4v16-18 NASB His word was the water.

She was thirsty for the truth. “The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.’ John 4v19-20 NASB We all are, down deep inside.

He gave her more water. “Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know ; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.” John 4v21-22 NASB It was clear clean water.

He gave her lots of water. “But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth ; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4v23-24 NASB It was all about the truth.

The water of His word was having an effect on her. “The woman said to Him, ‘I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ) ; when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I who speak to you am He.’ ” John 4v25-26 NASB What did she do ?

She was converted by Christ. left her water pot “So the woman left her water pot, and went into the city and said to the men, ‘Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done ; this is not the Christ, is it ?’ ” John 4v28-29 NASB She confessed the truth.

Jesus’ Word is convincing. “Many more believed because of His word ; and they were saying to the woman, ‘It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world." John 4v41-42 NASB This is the water of life.

What is the application for us ? “Let the one who is thirsty come ; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. Revelation 22v17 NASB This is in the same context of the word of Christ.

Are you already a Christian ? “Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5v25-27 NASB His Word is like water !
