JESUS TALKS WITH A SAMAR.
ITAN WOMAN
LESSON TEXT—John 4:4-41.
GOLDEN TEXT—"God Is a Spirit:
and they that worship Him must wor
ship Him In spirit and In truth."— ,
John 4:24.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus Talks With
a Woman.
JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus and a Woman
of Samaria.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—How Jesus Won the Samaritans.
YOCNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—The Teaching of Jesus Concerning
Himself.
I. Tha Occasion (vv. 4-6).
The growing popularity of Jesus
aroused the envious opposition of the
Pharisees, which obliged Him to lenve
Judea and go Into Galilee. There
was another way to reach Galilee,
one used by many Jews to avoid con
tact with the despised Samaritans,
the eastern side of the Jordan. He
must needs go through Samaria In or
der to And this poor sinful woman and
the needy citizens of Sychar. The
great necessity which was upon Him
was to seek and to save that which '
was lost (Luke 10:10). The wearied I
Jesus waiting at Jacob's well to speak
to this poor, lost woman gives us a
picture of the divine human Savior
In His work of seeking lost humnnlty.
11. The Testimony of Christ to the
Samaritans (vv. 7-41).
1. Discloses His Identity to the Wom
an of Samaria (vv. 7-20). This Is a j
fine example of personal evangelism.
(1) A Favor Asked (vv. 7-0). He i
tactfully made a request which ap
pealed to the woman's sympathy. Not 1
only did the thirst of the weary trav
eler appeal to her but the fact that
He being n Jew asked a favor of her
showed His sympathy for her. In In
troducing the conversation He re
ferred to that which was uppermost
In her mind, namely water. This
was the Teacher’s point of contact.
He soon passed from earthly water to
the water of everlasting life which
was In Himself. His aim was to
bridge the chasm which separated
them.
(21 .Tesus’ Tender Dealing With the
Woman (vv. 10-15). He first ap
pealed ' to her curiosity by declaring,
“If thou knewest the gift of God” (v.
10). lie knew the deep unrest of the
soul of that sinful woman ns she
went on her way. He knew that If
she really knew Him she would be
lieve on Him and be saved from her
sins. Therefore, the first thing was
to get her attention. He followed this j
appeal to her curiosity by n promise |
which directed her attention to her
deepest need. The deepest need of
the soul Jesus only can satisfy. There
Is real and lasting satisfaction In
Him and His gifts. The woman’s re
ply. “Sir, give me this water, that I
thirst not,” Is the inarticulate cry of i
every heart.
(3) The Woman Convicted of Her
Sins (vv. 15-19). Jesus succeeded in
arousing her Interest hut she did not
really understand Him. Before she
can understand what the water of
life is she must be convicted of her :
sins. He skillfully gave the command j
which brought her face to face with |
the facts of her life which she was
unwilling to confess.
(4) The Problem of Worship Sub
mitted to Christ (vv. 2-24). This she
did as soon ns she perceived Him to
be a prophet. This Indicates that He
was succeeding In bringing her mind
to spiritual things. Jesus, knowing
the inner life of this woman, tells her
of the glad time, even then present,
when true worshipers could hold In
tercourse with God nnywhere. He
showed her that the place of worship
is unimportant, hut the all-important
thing Is to have the true conception
of God ns brought through the Jews.
He exposed the folly of a religion of
form only and showed that acceptable
worship depends upon the condition
of the heart.
(5) Discloses His Identity to the
Citizens of Sychar (vv. 40, 41). When
they heard the testimony of the wom
an, they Invited Jesus to come among
them. Though they heard her testi
mony, their belief was due to Christ's
own words.
111. The Testimony of tho Samar-
Itano (w. 27-42).
1. Tho Woman of Ramnria Wit
nesses for Christ (vr. 27-89). As
soon aa ahe was converted she be
came an enthusiastic missionary.
This la aa It ought to be and always
will be. The soul that realizes Jesus
cannot be still (John 1:41-45). The
result of her testimony was that many
believed on Him.
2. The Sumarltans Witness for
Christ (v. 42). They declared. “We
know that this Is Indeed the Christ,
the Savior of the World.”
Begin Upon Yourself
If you must be severe, be sure that
yon begin with your severity upon ]
yourself. Clean up your own life, and
then with the beam taken out of your
own eye you are In position to take
the mote out of your brother’s eye.—
Gospel Herald.
If Willing to Repent
Dead churches cannot bring forth
a genuine revival, but living churches (
can, by Ood’a help, if people are will-,
lag to repent.—Gospel Herald.
* WHAT MY
NEIGHBOR SAYS
l
IS OF INTEREST TO LAFAYETTE
FOLKS
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
i kidney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to j
friends and neighbors. hTe following
case is only one of many thousands, j
but it is that of a LaFayette resident. ’
Who could ask for a better example?
| Z. A. Borders, chief of police, 15
North Main Street, says: “My kidneys
became disordered and acted so often
that I had to get up during the night
to pass the secretions which were
scanty and painful in passage. My
back was so lame and sore that when
I got down I had a time of it to
straighten again, Jjeoause knife-like
pains shot through the small of my
back. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, how
ever and they cured me entirely.”
Mr. Borders is only one of many
LuFayette People who have grate
fully endorsed Doan’s Pills. If your
back aches—if your kidneys bother
you, don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—ask-distinctly for Doan’s
Pills, the same that Mr. Borders had
—the remedy backed by home testi
! mony. 60 cents at all dealers—Foster
