  6. A Case Study:Woman at the Well (John 4) 4 But He needed to go through Samaria. 5So 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 ….

  7. Jesus’ Meeting with the Samaritan Woman • Occasion: An unscheduled appointment (Jesus needed to or had to) • Place: Through Samaria Sychar  Jacob’s Well • Time: 6th hour (noon) • People: Jesus, the caregiver; The woman, the care-receiver • Result: A divine encounter

  8. John 4:7-9 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  11. John 4:10-12 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?”

  12. John 4:13-15 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.”

  13. 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

  14. John 4:16-18 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.”

  15. 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

  16. Why didn’t 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.

  17. John 4:19-20 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.”

  18. 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

  19. John 4:21-24 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.”

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

  21. John 4:25-26 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.”

  22. Doubt: • If there is an answer … • We don’t have the answer NOW! • Caring: • There is an answer … and • Jesus is the answer now!
