Gleanings from John
Branded: The Woman at the Well
3/30/08 JN 4:1-42

JN 4:4-42 I’d like to tell the story…
“V4 He had to go through Samaria.”

Four truths...
Truth #1: I cannot hide my past from God.

First step toward the truth: Be honest with yourself and be honest with God.

Truth #2: Jesus knows all about me and He still loves me.
-Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Second step toward the truth: Believe the one who knows you best, loves you most.

Truth #3: My sin has consequences! Someone said sin is fun on credit. Fun now - pay later.
Gal 6:7 “Whatever a man sows, that will he reap.”

Third step toward truth: Understand that God loves us just the way we are but He loves us enough not to leave us that way.

Ques: Would it have been love for Jesus to know all about this woman, then leave her in that condition?

Truth #4: Jesus is the only one who can satisfy my deepest need.

V10 “If you knew who I was you would have asked me and I would have given you living water.
V14 “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst again. But the water I give shall become inside a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

You say, “I’d love to have this thirst satisfied. How?”

-You have to take the final step. You must admit your emptiness. You have to say, “Jesus, I’ve tried to fill my life every other way and I’m still thirsty.”

Conclusion…
-Can you be honest with yourself and with God?
-Admit your thirst and accept Jesus’ offer of satisfaction.
