Now LISTEN!
What is God saying to you through the story of the Samaritan Woman. What did you learned through this study?
It is one thing to read a study - but we mst always apply it to our life. What are three things that you have taken from this story that you can apply to your life today?
In my personal life this story has great impact. I did not reach out and take the gift of eternal life until I was 42. I had led a worldly life. I had been married and divorced. God in his mercy arranged for me to ‘meet Jesus’ at a Bible Study (thank you Judy Widergren for inviting me to that study!!) After three weeks in the study of the Gospel of John, in a moment of time I realized that Jesus is God and I was, and am, a sinner. I believed who He was, took the gift of eternal life. I have never been the same. Now I go and tell others about Jesus through my life, my teaching, and my writing.
How is the Samaritan Woman like you? Unlike you? The grace of God and His love for all people shines through this story. Is there a “Samaritan Woman” in your life that needs you to tell her the story of this woman? More importantly, John 4: 13-14 “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give to him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give to him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Have you had a drink from the “fountain of water springing up into everlasting life”? Has your own life been changed for all eternity by meeting the Messiah? If not stop at this very moment and pray. Tell God that you know you are a sinner and that Jesus died for you. Tell Him that you surrender your life to Him from this moment on.
