The Challenge of Jesus at the Well

Bethel Mennonite Church – Gladys VA

I John 2:6 – When we read the Gospels, we should ask ourselves if we have any resemblance to Jesus.

John 4 – Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman can challenge us in several ways.

1) First challenge: Do I engage with people the way Jesus did? Jesus did not avoid this potentially awkward conversation. He showed interest and concern and made the conversation meaningful.

2) Second challenge: Am I experiencing the living water that Jesus offered? Do I have something I would like others to experience? We can impede the flow of living water. Where we turn when we are feeling dry can be part of the problem.

3) Third challenge: Am I hungry to do the will of God? Jesus seemed to have lost His appetite in His excitement to do God’s work. We need to see the big picture like Jesus did.
