John 4:4

4 He had to go through Samaria on the way. 5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. 7 Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”

 

The Joy of seeing Tanner here at church, plugged in, using his gifts, growing in Jesus - its addicting.

 

 - Its a good indicator of where your heart is.

I believe most people want to share Christ, they just lack the confidence and the simple how to. 

 

To call yourself a follower of Christ and not tell others is a sure sign of disconnect in your walk.

 

 

So Lets look at Christ example:

She is never named, yet her encounter with Jesus is the longest between the Messiah and any other individual in the Gospel of John. 

  - Representing the lowest of the low 

 — a female in a society where women are both demeaned and disregarded, 

  - a race traditionally despised by Jews, 

  - and living in shame as a social outcast not only by the Jews and Romans, but by her own people due to her lifestyle

 

**Lets say you are standing at the DMV and you have felt all day like Jesus has put a burden on your heart to share Jesus. Two different windows open up in line… a young blonde blue eyed woman in her 30’s and the other person…

Different color, different religion, different country, different attitude, different language 

WHO DO YOU CHOOSE?

 

THIS WAS EXACTLY JESUS PREDICAMENT - HE CHOSE THE LEAST OF WHO HE SHOULD CHOOSE. 

 

 

What happens when he shares?

  - She is not being completely truthful with Jesus

  - She is a sinner of ill repute 

 

 

BUT WHAT ELSE HAPPENS?

— she not only has a holy encounter with Christ but also receives eternal salvation. And her testimony convinces an entire town to believe, too.
