Timestamps:
[00:04] - Intro
[00:44] - Because the Pharisees had taken notice of Jesus because of the baptizing his disciples had been doing, He went from Judea back to Galilee. Along the way, He met a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s Well. The woman came to the well in the heat of the day because she was of ill repute, having had five husbands and being in a relationship with a sixth man.
[03:26] - At the well, Jesus tells her about the living water He can provide. She does not fully understand Him but asks for the water so she won’t have to keep coming back to the well.
[04:53] - Jesus reveals He knows all about the Samaritan woman. Seeing He is a prophet, she comments about how Jews and Samaritans have different ideas about where to worship. Jesus tells her worshipers must worship in the Spirit and truth. This foreshadowed His death on the cross and the ripping of the curtain in the temple.
[07:55] - For the Samaritan woman, Jesus’ promises of peace and the ability to worship anywhere from her heart would have meant everything.
[08:41] - Jesus’ disciples meet up with Jesus but do not comment about how He is conversing with the Samaritan woman. You have the same defense.
[09:39] - The Samaritan woman is so happy and awed by what Jesus tells her that she suddenly leaves her jar behind and starts testifying about Jesus in the town. Because of her, people begin to have faith in Him.
[11:13] - The meeting of Jesus and the Samaritan woman was a divine appointment. It was God’s intention that, through her, people would come to believe.
[12:39] - You have a right to speak, especially when it comes to testifying for God. Your voice, like the voice of the Samaritan woman, absolutely matters.
[14:15] - Prayer
