This sermon explores Jesus' transformative love that breaks social boundaries, offers abundant blessings, and bridges divides, using the story of the Samaritan woman as an example.
Welcome, dear family of faith. I stand here today, humbled and overjoyed, to share the message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a message of love that breaks boundaries, blessings that flow like living water, and a bridge that connects us all through divine love.
Let's start by immersing ourselves in the word of God, from the book of John, Chapter 4, verses 7 through 15:
'When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, 'Will you give me a drink?' (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, 'You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.' 'Sir,' the woman said, 'you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?' Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.' The woman said to him, 'Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.'
In this passage, we see Jesus extending His hand of love across the divide of social norms, offering the woman at the well a drink of living water, a gift of eternal life.
Now, let us remember the words of the great preacher Charles Spurgeon who once said, 'If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.' Friends, are we not all guilty of trifling with the evils of prejudice, division, and selfishness that crucified our Savior?
Today, we will illuminate the transformative love of Jesus, a love that breaks boundaries, a love that offers blessings like a wellspring of living water, and a love that bridges the divides among us.
As we turn our attention to the wellspring of life that Jesus offers, we find ourselves standing at the edge of a deep well, filled with the living water of God's blessings ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
