Living Waters by Michael Dudash

JOHN 4:1-10 "Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, 'Jesus is baptizing and making more disciples than John' (though Jesus himself didn't baptize them - his disciples did). So he left Judea to return to Galilee.

"He had to go through Samaria on the way. Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, 'Please give me a drink.' He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.

"The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, 'You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?'

"Jesus replied, 'If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.'"
