Are You Ready For Sunday…

Living Out The Word

“Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” John 4:29 

What prompted the woman in the story to want others to “Come and see” Jesus? 

Jesus seeks to move the conversation from earthly concerns to heavenly concerns. When do you do that? 

What would you like others to “Come and see” in Jesus?

Scripture

Exodus 17:1-7

Water from the rock 

17:1
From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the Israelites journeyed by stages, as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.

17:2
The people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"

17:3
But the people thirsted there for water, and the people complained against Moses and said, "Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?"

17:4
So Moses cried out to the LORD, "What shall I do for this people? They are almost ready to stone me."

17:5
The LORD said to Moses, "Go on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile and go.

17:6
I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink." Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.

17:7
He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreled and tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"

John 4:5-15

The woman at the well 

4:5
So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

4:6
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon.

4:7
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

4:8
(His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.)

4:9
The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.)

4:10
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

4:11
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

4:12
Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well,and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?"

4:13
Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,

4:14
but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life."

4:15
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."
