"Come and see a man
who told me everything
I have ever done!
can he?"
John 4:29
Traveling through Samaria, Jesus was tired and sat down by a well.
Then he did two things that good Jewish men never did – 1) he talked to a Samarian, 2) he talked to a women who was a stranger. (Aren’t you glad we have a Savior who cares more about people than cultural barriers.)
Jesus and the woman talked first about water – wet, physical, H2O. Then they talked about something deeper – living water.
Then after Jesus prophesied – sharing with her some secrets in her life – the woman rushed away from the encounter brimming with wonderment. She told everyone she could find: "Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?"
Last week, at the 8:30 service, Pastor David Chotka taught us this principle: “You can’t grow, til you say what you know.”
Who have you told about your faith, your prayers, your hope, your peace … or even this week’s conference?
Jesus filled this woman at the well with living water. But what happens when water sits stagnant? Pond scum! But this was living water. And it couldn’t help but spill out!
So here’s the question … if you can’t grow, till you say what you know … then who have you been telling!
In Christ’s Love,
a guy who want to grow
as tall as a redwood
