A Case StudyWoman at the Well (John 4)

• 4 But He needed to go through Samaria. 5 So He
  came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar,
  near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his
  son Joseph.
• 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore,
  being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the
  well.
• It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman of Samaria
  came to draw water .

8
Jesus Meeting with the Samaritan Woman

• Occasion An unscheduled appointment (Jesus
  needed to or had to)
• Place Through Samaria ? Sychar ? Jacobs Well
• Time 6th hour (noon)
• People Jesus, the caregiver The woman, the
  care-receiver
• Result A divine encounter

9
John 47-9

• Jesus said to her,
• Give Me a drink.
• For His disciples had gone away into the city to
  buy food.
• Then the woman of Samaria said to Him,
• How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink
  from me, a Samaritan woman?
• For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

10
Issues to Consider

• Obvious Issues
• Gender Difference Jesus was alone with the
  woman.
• Racial Difference A Jew and a Samaritan
• Social Difference Jews had no dealings with
  Samaritans
• Hidden Issues
• Values, moral, etc.

11
The Session

• The Sense of Mission Jesus had to
• The Needed Perception
• She was alone drawing water at noon
• Verbal body language, facial expression, etc.
• A Harmless Initiation Question
• To gain understanding
• To grab attention
• To clarify motive

12
John 410-12

• Jesus answered and said to her,
• If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who
  says to you, Give Me a drink, you would have
  asked Him, and He would have given you living
  water.
• The woman said to Him,
• Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well
  is deep. Where then do You get that living water?
  Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave
  us the well, and drank from it himself, as well
  as his sons and his livestock?

13
John 413-15

• Jesus answered and said to her,
• Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
  but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give
  him will never thirst. But the water that I shall
  give him will become in him a fountain of water
  springing up into everlasting life.
• The woman said to Him,
• Sir, give me this water,
• that I may not thirst,nor come here to draw.

14
Getting to the Felt Need

• More Q A
• Gaining attention
• Gaining trust
• Getting there
• An obvious shift
• from the problem to the problem solver
• from the past to the present

15
John 416-18

• Jesus said to her,
• Go, call your husband, and come here.
• The woman answered and said,
• I have no husband.
• Jesus said to her,
• You have well said, I have no husband, for you
  have had five husbands, and the one whom you now
  have is not your husband in that you spoke
  truly.

16
Getting to the Real Problem

• Going Beyond
• From the Superficial to the Actual
• From the Felt Need to the Real Need
• Attitude Noticed
• Confronting without accusing
• Revealing without judging

17

• Why didnt Jesus judge this woman having 5
  husbands?
• What kind of a woman who has 5 husbands?
• A traditional answer
• An alternative answer
• Either way, a care-giver should not be judgmental
  towards the care-receiver.

18
John 419-20

• The woman said to Him,
• Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
• Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you
  Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one
  ought to worship.

19

• Possible Scenario
• Minimize the problem
• Denying the problem
• Avoiding the problem
• A Swift
• From personal experience to national history
• From straight forward to controversial
• From specific to general

20
John 421-24

• Jesus said to her,
• Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you
  will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem,
  worship the Father. You worship what you do not
  know we know what we worship, for salvation is
  of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is,
  when the true worshipers will worship the Father
  in spirit and truth for the Father is seeking
  such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those
  who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

21

• Go with the flow, but stay with the issue.

22
John 425-26

• The woman said to Him,
• I know that Messiah is coming (who is called
  Christ). When He comes, He will tell us all
  things.
• Jesus said to her,
• I who speak to you am He.

23

• Doubt
• If there is an answer
• We dont have the answer NOW!
• Caring
• There is an answer and
• Jesus is the answer now!
