Well, let me invite you to turn in your Bible to John 4. John chapter 4, we're going to be looking at John 4:1 through 15 today. As we're looking at this mini section of the Gospel of John, looking at John 3 and 4 where we're observing Jesus' encounter with two people, Nicodemus in John 3, and the Samaritan woman in John 42 vastly different people and yet united in their lostness. And we learned much about ourselves.
by, we find ourselves in Nicodemus, we find ourselves in this Samaritan woman. We also learn a lot by sitting next to Jesus and just watching the way he is as he interacts with lost people. We learn volumes about how we interact with those who do not yet know Christ also. If you want to give a title to the message this morning, it would be, Sir, give me this water.
Sir, give me, this water. Let me read John 4:1 through 15. Say, therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were, he left Judea and went away again into Galilee, and he had to pass through Samaria. So he came to a city of Samaria called Sicar near the parcel of ground.
That Jacob gave to his son Joseph, and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from his journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the 6th hour, and there came a woman of Samaria to draw water, and Jesus said to her, Give me a drink, for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Therefore, the Samaritan woman said to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman, for Jews have no dealings with Samaritans....
