John 4
4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritanwoman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
This is a wonderful passage we can learn so many truths in this.
The Samaritan woman was rejected by jews and men in the society.
Before she gets rejected again, she is trying reject Jesus , by raising racism.
Jesus puts down the argument. He doesnt talk about the race.
Rather, takes the conversation to a higher level.
In arguments , you can never win other souls. you might win the argument but that would leave other people rejected.
Jesus puts down the argument and say am not interested in this race talk, but i would talk what matters most.
In the world you will see arguments about race, color, political parties, and so many things.
But i say Welcome to the world of Jesus. where arguments about wordly things are put down and brings you to a Life worthy of living.
Are you struggling with arguments in life, with family, with parents, with fellow schoolmates, - Welcome to the World of Jesus - Arguments are put down and Life is revealed.
Verse 10)
When Jesus says please give me a drink. He expects us to ask him back.
When Jesus says surrender your life, and I will give you abundant life.
In this world we see only takers, rarely we see givers.
When you hear lots of messages and parents telling you, come to Church and hear, some of you might wonder what is all this?
No problem. Jesus is for you.
When Jesus please give me your Life, your Worship, He actually wants to bless you.
Everyone in life wants to take something from you, but Welcome to the World of Jesus, in asking He wants to give you.
Here Jesus says go, call your husband and come here.
Checking for honest.
The best thing you can do in life is being honest.
There is more hope for honest people than the ones who act/pretend.
when you are honest - Jesus goes deep into your life.
Jesus did not say, you sinner, you got married and divorced five times and now you have a boyfriend who also does not want to marry you.
We see in this world, people calling out names, characters, you are like that , you are like this.
But welcome to the World of Jesus, he does not apply band aids, he goes deep inside.
People condemning sinners.
Don't apply bandages - but go deep - Boils example
Infact it was not the woman who divorced, but it was men who divorced in those days, she was rejected by five men, and now the one who was living does not want to marry.
The most pathetic life she has. but Jesus came to samaria and stopped in Smaaria and spoke to her , just for one soul.
He leaves the 99 just to save one.
The life with Jesus is wonderful.
Worship.
True worship is not about just worshiping in the midst of people. but when you are alone, you just get immersed in the Spirit of Worship, you lift your hands , you will sing like you had never sing before.
David was singing in the wilderness when no one was there.
Welcome to the World of Jesus - where there is no hypocrisy but there is True Worship with your life.
Testimony -
When woman went and told about Jesus, who would hear her word.
She was 5 times divorced woman.
Remember people are weak, but come to Jesus Himself, seek him directly.
Today your parents might be bringing you to Church.
Today you might be saying my parents dont do what they preach or believe.
people are weak , that is why these people said We have seen and heard with our own hears.
Life with Jesus - Grace and Truth.
Jesus showed Grace - he did not condemn the woman, he was connecting, to the rejected, he connected.
to the outcast, he made sure they belong.
to the gender bias, he cancelled the gender bias and said every soul matters, every one is child of God.
When woman tried to argue , He put down the arguments, He spoke what matters.
Your tongue is powerful, the words that come from your mouth would either build or destroy lives.
The Truth is this, Jesus is wonderful. with Jesus there is life, with Jesus mercy, with Jesus.
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.

Verse 10)
10 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.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
When Jesus says please give me a drink. He expects us to ask him back.

Verse 16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
Here Jesus says go, call your husband and come here.
