Jesus Christ the Living Water | Pst. Bryan Mwashigadi | DCIKZ
John 4: 1-29. This is the story about Jesus and the woman at the well.
In verse 4..the Bible says that Jesus needed to go through Samaria.
4.But He Needed to go through Samaria....He came across a well where a woman was drawing water from a well and asked her to give her water. ...give me a drink If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him to give you living living waters. The reason why the Jews did not like passing through Samaria is because the Jews people despised the Samaritans because they did not practice the laws of Moses fully.
Jesus being a fully recognized Jew was thus compelled to or he needed to pass through Samaria to meet this woman who was from a despised community. This morning, Jesus is willing to encounter each and every one of us. Jesus wants us to meet us where we are. He died, went through shame that He might meet us. Jesus Christ the Living Water. It was noon when the samaritan needed to draw water because it was always so hot in Samaria. She was not only from an outcast community but was also a harlot...had five men. This is why Jesus needed to meet this woman. When Jesus died for us, he died for our past, present, and future sins that is why there is no condemnation for them that are in Christ Jesus.
It is finished because He nailed all our sins at Calvary!! If Jesus had just passed by, the devil had every right to afflict her because she deserved through the filthy life she was living...But Jesus was compelled to save her through His mercies! Our desires can only be satisfied fully in Jesus. If we delight ourselves in God, he is willing to give us our desires of our hearts.
In verse 13...whoever that drinks the water that i give, will never thirst again and the woman says, Sir, give me the water. She jumps for this opportunity because she may have gone a for some time without water...only for convenience. She says ...give me this living water so that i may not thirst and i may not come here to draw. Many are the times when we come to Jesus for convenience. So Jesus said ..Go and bring your husband, and the woman replied, i have no husband.The first assignment of the Spirit of God is to convince us of our sins. Jesus replied, you have said the truth..you have had five husbands and the one in your house is not even yours! When Jesus meets us, the spirit of God will convince us of our sins and we shall confess them.
