Samaritan woman / John 4:39-42
In John 4, the Lord passed through Samaria on his way from Judea to Galilee.
is recorded. At the time of Jesus, the nation of Judea was divided into three provinces. Samaria
Since the region was between Galilee in the north and Judah in the south, the passage through Samaria was inevitable.
was a thing.
However, Jews who do not like Samaria avoid central Samaria and use a detour to return home.
used to do That day, while the Lord was working for the gospel, he went to Galilee for a while in Samaria.
Today's text is the story of how he met a woman while he was resting at the castle and preached the gospel. Person
They call this woman “the woman at the well”. Let's think about what kind of woman he is.
I. She was a woman with a past.
John 4:18 “You have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband.
All.” This woman is a woman who has lived with many men until now.
She is a woman who has lived an adulterous life, not a commercial life. Therefore, because of this fact, he
He was someone I couldn't get along with. Now is not the time to draw water, but it is hot at noon.
It was for that reason that I was brought up.
Jesus knew the woman. That's why he said, "Call your husband." this
was to remind this woman of her past sins.
Dear all!
Everyone has a past. Some people may have a proud past, and some
A person can have an embarrassing past. But there is not a single person who does not have a sinful past.
There will be none. That's why the Bible says, "There is no one righteous, not even one" (Romans 3:10).
That's what you did.
It says that man who has sinned in this way falls short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
As you know the Samaritan woman's past, as he said, "Call your husband," we
God knows all of our past, and He knows our faults and sins.
There are sins that we claim to believe in the Lord, but do not act by faith (Romans 14:23, John 16:9). my insistence
There is a sin of doing what you did (Isaiah 53:6). There is a sin of knowingly not doing good (James 4:7, Genesis 4:7).
There is a sin of disloyalty despite receiving a mission (Matthew 25:26, 30). ethically and morally
There is a sin that we have not committed (Matthew 17:17). Let us make a list of the sins we have.
It is impossible, but we must offer it to our Lord, who knows all these heavy sins.
2. A woman who is not satisfied with life.
Although this woman has been enjoying life and enjoying pleasure with many men, she is not satisfied with him.
Oh, and there was no fun. Rather, the more you go out into the world, the more solitude is always in the corner of your heart.
There was agony and agony, and there was a sense of despair, loneliness, and emptiness.
Jesus asked the woman who came to draw water to quench her thirst in life.
When I asked for a drink, the woman said, “Does the Samaritan ask me for a drink?”
I thought badly. Then Jesus makes an important statement. "I'll ask you for some water.
If you knew who this is, you would have asked him” (John 4:10).
The woman also says: There is no vessel to draw water here, and the spring is deep. How can you water?
Are you going to do it! Are you greater than Jacob? Yes, I am greater than Jacob. Anyone
Everyone who drinks from this well will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst.
My lord said that the water will become in him a spring of water springing up to everlasting life.
All. This woman's ears fluttered when she heard this sound. . So what they say is that water
Give me, so that I will not be thirsty or come here to draw water.
It's hard for this woman to come here to draw water now. Is it hard to meet people?
All. You can see through this woman's attitude that she is anxious, anxious, and full of dissatisfaction.
All. . Like that councilor Nicodemus! Like the crowds gathered by the sea of Tiberias, the empty field
This is a lonely and poor woman.
Dear all! What can a person be satisfied with? The woman was satisfied with money
It could not be obtained, and neither lust nor pleasure could satisfy that emptiness. it's so plausible
is. Because Jesus was not in them. Because there was no God. God
It is the only satisfaction in our life. So David, who was filled with God, confessed, "The Lord
You are my shepherd, and I lack nothing.” This woman had everything
There was no satisfaction.
3. This is the woman who met Jesus.
John 4:15 "The woman said to her, "Lord, give me this water, so that I am not thirsty. Come here to draw water again."
Please do not teach me.” In other words, he appealed to Jesus for living water.
Living water is water that springs from the ground. This living water is Jesus. This living water is God.
This living water is the Holy Spirit.
It must not have been that the woman knew the meaning of living water and asked for it. But I will never be thirsty again
I think I didn't ask for it in the Word. But the truth is that this woman is a thirsty woman.
It is not because you are thirsty because of the lack of water from the well, but because of the thirst of your soul.
Because of thirst, because of thirst without God, there is a thirst for not having the Holy Spirit. Jesus is
He is the one who solves that thirst.
All life should drink this living water. Livingstone took this bottled water and drank it, and Schweitzer took it.
Oh, when he drank, living water came out of the boat and poured out the river of love all over the African continent.
It was. When Saul, who was poor in life, drank this living water in Damascus,
I made it flow like a river. People like Thomas, Underwood, and Appenzera drank this living water.
This allowed the flowers of the gospel to bloom in our three thousand-ri Geumsu River Mountain. You and I will drink this living water
As you drank, wherever you go, the love and gospel of Jesus will flow like a river.
I wish you all the best.
In John 4:29-30, the woman went into the town and said, "Tell me all that I have done.
Come see someone," and say, "Isn't that the Messiah we are waiting for?"
Everyone told me, and many people from the town came out and said they had come to Jesus.
After meeting Jesus and drinking living water, I received the gospel and filled my empty heart with our Lord.
The shame disappears, the shame disappears, the discouragement and despair all disappear, the example I met
A fire burned in my heart to speak of Mr.
This is the person who met Jesus. This is the person who got the living water and drank it. Dear all!
This woman was not complicated. I just said, "Come and see." That's right. this
Conduction. Let's go to our church! Believe in Jesus! Let's go! Come on! It is said. This
I did. So how many people are down on those four words!
Dear saints! The Samaritan woman was a woman with a past. It also has five husbands.
The husband who is a woman who has been with me and is living now is not her husband. such a sad past
We had, and this shows the true nature of our lives. we are all sad
They are people with a sad and shameful past.
Anyone who knows that our life is an imperfect life with such a shameful past condemns others
I can't. I can't point my finger at the weakness of others. but the fool
They mistake themselves for being righteous and fall into the sin of condemning others. we shouldn't be fools
do. We, like this woman, must confess that we are such a life.
conclusion
Dear saints!
The Samaritan woman was a woman with a past. The Samaritan woman was not satisfied. But
The Samaritan woman met Jesus at the well and was transformed. When you meet Jesus Christ
Everything was settled and this woman lived a rich life. This woman's changed life is our
I hope it will be the life of all the saints. He conveys this joy to everyone he meets, and many people
