Jesus Rejects Religion with the woman at the well.

1. By knowing Jesus you are able to know the Father. 

What does this mean?

God is seeking to be in relationship with you, not mindless ritual religion. If you humble yourself to know the Savior, You will be given the Holy Spirit, your dead Spirit will be born again. 

By being given the Holy Spirit you will have faith in Jesus and will become in relationship with God the Father as his child. Through the way of Jesus, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit you will be in relationship with the Father.  

2. On the inverse without the Messiah, that is the Savior, no amount of religious ritual amounts to anything except vain unrepentant pride.

John the Baptist proclaims to Jesus to be the savior who will take away the sin of the world and God. 

Jesus then begins calling his inner circle of 12 disciples.

Tonight’s application

We are to continue the chain of John the Baptist’s ministry of proclaiming the Savior. We are to do this by bringing Jesus and his Message of redemption to lost people. 

• We are to have a zealousness for our savior to introduce him to other people

• To go to where these people are instead or trying to start by dragging them to Church and passing the responsibility of evangelism onto the speaker. 

• Don't take this too far, we do not control whether or not a person's heart is reborn by God. 

• What we are called to is to be a Servant of Jesus and to join him in the Father’s work of saving people.

The first part, verses 15 through 18 is John the Baptist and the Apostle John proclaiming Jesus to be God.

The 2nd part, verses 19-28 is the religious leaders trying to understand what was happening and not being able to because of pre-held beliefs about prophecies. 

The purpose or application tonight is to not let our held biases keep us from accepting Biblical Truth.

Instead of holding onto our Pre-existent ideas, where they conflict with the Bible we need to reject what we have been taught and humble ourselves to the Bible.

The major purpose over tonight is Identity.

What is the identity of Jesus? 

• Jesus is the Pre-existent-creator God who became fully human. God made visible.

What is the Identity of John the Baptist? 

• John the Baptist is a witness to testify to the validity of Jesus’ claim to be God in human form.

Application:

What is our identity? Our identity, if we are given belief by God, is that of being a child of God.

As a child of God, we too are witnesses of Jesus, the Messiah, The Christ the salvation of all who receive him.
