“Differing Vantage Points”

(John 4)

We all have different points of view.

The incident which began at Jacob’s well illustrates

this.

In which category are you?

1. The Woman

A. of opposite gender and ethnicity (v. 7)

B. different beliefs about worship (v. 20)

C. poor lifestyle (vs. 17 - 18)

2. The Disciples

A. went to get food from Samaritans (v. 8)

B. refrained from “offensive” questions (v. 27)

C. great concern for Jesus (vs. 31-33)

3. The Samaritans

A. eager to see the Christ (v. 30)

B. many believed on Him (vs. 39, 42)

C. wanted Jesus to stay in their lives (v. 40)

Conclusion:

Jesus wanted to save souls…& still does!
