\n00:00:03,920 –> 00:00:05,440
\nWelcome to Good Christophian
\nTalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:05,920 –> 00:00:08,560
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek on this podcast. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:08,560 –> 00:00:11,920
\nWe select one talk a week to
\nhelp us get the Bible in our <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:11,920 –> 00:00:15,960
\nDaily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:15,960 –> 00:00:18,960
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:18,960 –> 00:00:21,520
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:21,520 –> 00:00:25,000
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:27,960
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:27,960 –> 00:00:34,520
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHey everyone, it’s Jason <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:34,520 –> 00:00:36,320
\nHensley.
\nThis week I have a couple of <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:36,320 –> 00:00:37,720
\nthings that I want to talk to
\nyou about. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:37,720 –> 00:00:41,240
\nThe first is we have been
\nbringing on some new hosts to <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:41,240 –> 00:00:45,320
\ngood Christadelphian talks.
\nThus, I would like to introduce <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:45,720 –> 00:00:48,800
\nBrother Matthew McCracken to
\nyou. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:48,920 –> 00:00:53,960
\nHe is from the Milford Rd.
\nEcclesia in the Detroit, MI <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:53,960 –> 00:00:56,800
\narea.
\nI’ve known him for a few years <\/p>\n

17
\n00:00:56,880 –> 00:00:58,960
\nand I’m really excited that he’s
\ngoing to be joining us. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:00:58,960 –> 00:01:01,720
\nHe and I have had some really
\ngood Bible conversations, Bible <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:01,720 –> 00:01:04,000
\ntalks, as we’ve been at
\ndifferent gatherings, emailed <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:05,880
\nback and forth.
\nSo I think you’re going to enjoy<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:05,880 –> 00:01:09,200
\nlistening to some of the
\ndifferent talks that he posts, <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:09,440 –> 00:01:11,760
\nsome of the things that he
\nbrings up, and some of those <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:11,760 –> 00:01:13,520
\nintros.
\nSo we’re pretty excited to have <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:13,520 –> 00:01:14,680
\nhim.
\nHe’s going to be introducing the<\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:14,680 –> 00:01:19,240
\ntalk next week.
\nFor this week, our talk is going<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:19,240 –> 00:01:22,920
\nto be by Brother Greg Robinson
\nand it was given at the <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:23,080 –> 00:01:24,920
\nIdyllwild Bible School this
\nyear. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:25,400 –> 00:01:28,120
\nIt’s from a series called Now We
\nBelieve, which is a look at the <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:28,120 –> 00:01:30,960
\nGospel of John.
\nAnd this one in particular is <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:30,960 –> 00:01:34,680
\ncalled in Spirit and in Truth.
\nNow from the title you might be <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:34,680 –> 00:01:37,760
\nable to guess what it’s about.
\nIt is about the Samaritan woman <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:37,760 –> 00:01:41,400
\nof John, chapter 4.
\nAnd I just absolutely love the <\/p>\n

33
\n00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:43,480
\nway that brother Greg deals with
\nthis story. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:48,080
\nI think the overall major
\npicture that he brings out here,<\/p>\n

35
\n00:01:48,280 –> 00:01:51,440
\nthat we can have our traditions,
\nwe can have our rituals, and we <\/p>\n

36
\n00:01:51,440 –> 00:01:54,160
\nsometimes just get lost in
\nthose. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:01:54,520 –> 00:01:57,320
\nIt’s a lesson that we know.
\nIt’s a lesson that we think <\/p>\n

38
\n00:01:57,320 –> 00:02:00,320
\nabout.
\nBut this story just really <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:00,320 –> 00:02:04,440
\nbrings it out so powerfully that
\nGod isn’t about the ritual. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:04,960 –> 00:02:09,960
\nGod is about changing our lives.
\nAnd the way that this happens is<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:14,040
\nwhen we come face to face with
\nthe Word of God, just as the <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:14,040 –> 00:02:17,080
\nSamaritan woman did.
\nSo I think that’s a very <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:17,080 –> 00:02:19,400
\npowerful lesson.
\nIt’s something that we know, but<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:23,120
\nit’s something that we need to
\nbe reminded of all the time. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:23,840 –> 00:02:27,080
\nThe Word of God, That’s what
\nchanges us. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:27,800 –> 00:02:34,640
\nSo this is Brother Greg Robinson
\nin spirit and in truth. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:37,960
\nAll right, Good morning,
\neveryone. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:39,440 –> 00:02:41,600
\nAll right.
\nImpressive how quiet everybody <\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:41,600 –> 00:02:43,240
\ngot there.
\nAt first I thought that was <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:43,240 –> 00:02:46,560
\nmaybe a stunt or something like
\nthat, but all right, so we’re <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:46,560 –> 00:02:48,880
\ngoing to be looking at the woman
\nat the well this morning. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:02:49,080 –> 00:02:53,400
\nBefore we start out with that,
\njust a quick reminder about <\/p>\n

53
\n00:02:53,400 –> 00:02:56,840
\nyesterday’s lesson.
\nA lot of similarities actually <\/p>\n

54
\n00:02:56,840 –> 00:03:02,040
\nthat have have been noted by by
\npeople between Nicodemus and the<\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:02,040 –> 00:03:04,560
\nwoman at the well.
\nSo our key lesson from yesterday<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:09,520
\nwas unless we’re born of water
\nand the Spirit, we cannot enter <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:09,520 –> 00:03:12,560
\ninto the Kingdom of God.
\nSo today then, we’re going to be<\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:12,560 –> 00:03:15,840
\nlooking at the woman at the
\nwell, and she’s a woman that <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:15,840 –> 00:03:22,160
\nbelonged to a group that had an
\nincredible spiritual heritage. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:25,360
\nAnd that’s brought out in John
\njust with some of the details <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:25,360 –> 00:03:28,840
\nthat we’re going to look at.
\nIt was a heritage full of <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:28,840 –> 00:03:32,480
\nbrethren that had incredible
\nfaith. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:33,320 –> 00:03:38,400
\nAnd the woman was very proud.
\nYou can tell of that heritage <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:39,280 –> 00:03:42,040
\nand she subscribed to its
\nrituals. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:42,360 –> 00:03:44,600
\nShe subscribed to the traditions
\nof her group. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:45,640 –> 00:03:49,840
\nYou might say that she actually
\nfights for those things, but <\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:49,920 –> 00:03:55,520
\nJesus shows her in this chapter
\nthat her worship wasn’t what God<\/p>\n

68
\n00:03:55,520 –> 00:03:59,720
\nwas looking for.
\nIt had to be more than rituals <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:04,600
\nand traditions.
\nIt had to be life changing. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:05,320 –> 00:04:07,480
\nThat’s the the key lesson that
\nwe’re going to see, I think this<\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:07,480 –> 00:04:10,800
\nmorning in looking at the woman
\nat the well, the Samaritan woman<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:10,800 –> 00:04:13,160
\nat the well.
\nAnd so our our 4th class is <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:13,160 –> 00:04:17,760
\ntitled in spirit and in truth
\nand it’s found, as you know, in <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:17,760 –> 00:04:20,440
\nJohn chapter 4.
\nSo let’s let’s open our Bibles <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:20,440 –> 00:04:25,720
\nup to John chapter 4, the end of
\nat the end of chapter 3. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:25,720 –> 00:04:29,960
\nJesus work in Judea has met with
\na lot of success. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:30,640 –> 00:04:34,320
\nYou’ll remember that his work is
\neclipsing the work of John the <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:34,320 –> 00:04:37,080
\nBaptist.
\nHis disciples are baptizing more<\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:37,520 –> 00:04:41,360
\nand John says he must increase,
\nbut I must decrease. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:42,040 –> 00:04:44,720
\nAnd at the beginning of chapter
\n4, Jesus seems to be getting <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:44,720 –> 00:04:47,480
\npressure now.
\nHe seems to be getting noticed <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:47,480 –> 00:04:51,680
\nby the Pharisees significantly.
\nAnd so he decides he’s going to <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:51,680 –> 00:04:56,960
\nhead back to Galilee.
\nNow John chapter 4 verse 4 says <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:56,960 –> 00:05:00,040
\nthat he had he had to pass
\nthrough Samaria. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:00,480 –> 00:05:05,600
\nThe King James Version says he
\nmust needs go through Samaria. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:06,160 –> 00:05:09,320
\nSo this gives us the idea that
\nthat somehow Jesus maybe was <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:09,320 –> 00:05:14,480
\ndirected to go through Samaria.
\nUsually the Jews would travel <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:15,240 –> 00:05:17,320
\naround Samaria they wouldn’t go
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:19,920
\nIf you look at the map there,
\nyou’ll see there’s a a green <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:19,920 –> 00:05:25,000
\nroute that went on the left side
\ngoing around on the West side of<\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:25,000 –> 00:05:27,520
\nSamaria.
\nIn the red, there was a a route <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:27,520 –> 00:05:31,440
\nthat went to the east across the
\nJordan, but the white route was <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:31,440 –> 00:05:34,160
\nthe one that was the quickest
\nroute, and that’s the one <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:35,760
\nthrough Samaria.
\nIf they were going up to <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:35,760 –> 00:05:38,640
\nGalilee, if they’re going up
\nthere, they would never take <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:39,000 –> 00:05:43,960
\nbecause it went through Samaria.
\nNow why would they do that? <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:44,960 –> 00:05:48,640
\nWhy would they always go way
\naround Samaria instead of going <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:48,640 –> 00:05:53,920
\nthrough Samaria?
\nThat’s because the Jews and the <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:53,920 –> 00:05:57,840
\nSamaritans would have nothing to
\ndo with each other. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:59,640 –> 00:06:01,080
\nNow, what do we know about the
\nSamaritans? <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:02,080 –> 00:06:05,400
\nWell, the Samaritans had their
\nown version of the Law of Moses.<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:06,240 –> 00:06:08,920
\nThey used the first five books
\nof the Bible. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:09,480 –> 00:06:12,520
\nThat’s all they used.
\nThat was their Bible, the laws <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:12,520 –> 00:06:15,800
\nin the Samaritan Bible, the
\nPentateuch. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:16,160 –> 00:06:20,360
\nThe first five books were mostly
\nthe same as the ones in the <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:20,360 –> 00:06:24,800
\nJewish Pentateuch.
\nSo it’s interesting, the <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:28,760
\nSamaritans observed the laws of
\nMoses with the same attention to<\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:28,760 –> 00:06:33,560
\ndetail as the Jews, but they
\neach had their own traditions <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:34,160 –> 00:06:38,880
\nand rituals, and they each had
\nsurprisingly their own temple. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:39,440 –> 00:06:41,120
\nSo here’s what Josephus tells
\nus. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:41,120 –> 00:06:43,160
\nThis is from Easton’s
\ndictionary. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:44,920 –> 00:06:51,080
\nIt says Josephus relates that
\nsand ballot built a temple for <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:51,080 –> 00:06:54,280
\nthe Samaritans on this mountain.
\nThat’s Speaking of of Mount <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:54,280 –> 00:06:58,240
\nGerizim, which was where their
\ntemple was as as that says, who <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:58,240 –> 00:07:01,600
\nwas Sand Ballot?
\nYep. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:01,600 –> 00:07:02,760
\nHoran Knight.
\nWhat did he do? <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:02,760 –> 00:07:05,680
\nWhat was the what’s the thing
\nhe’s famous for? <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:06,080 –> 00:07:08,440
\nMaybe.
\nYeah, for certain. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:08,440 –> 00:07:09,320
\nRight.
\nWhen they were when they were <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:09,320 –> 00:07:11,760
\ntrying to rebuild the wall and
\nthey were trying to do that in <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:11,760 –> 00:07:15,120
\nNehemiah’s time, he was always
\nin the way of the work and <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:15,120 –> 00:07:18,000
\nalways trying to stop the work.
\nWell, at the same time, guess <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:18,000 –> 00:07:20,400
\nwhat he’s doing?
\nHe’s building this temple for <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:20,400 –> 00:07:22,040
\nthe Samaritans, of which he’s a
\ngroup. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:22,040 –> 00:07:25,560
\nSo he builds his own and
\ninstituted A priesthood as <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:25,560 –> 00:07:27,520
\nrivals to those of the Jews at
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:28,160 –> 00:07:32,360
\nHis temple was destroyed after
\nit stood for 200 years, and it <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:32,360 –> 00:07:34,680
\nwas afterwards built by Herod
\nthe Great. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:35,960 –> 00:07:41,120
\nThere is a Samaritan tradition
\nthat Mount Gerizim was the scene<\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:41,400 –> 00:07:45,080
\nof the incident recorded in
\nGenesis chapter 22. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:45,240 –> 00:07:48,040
\nDo you know what the incident of
\nGenesis 22 is? <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:50,120 –> 00:07:53,880
\nThat’s Abraham going to OfferUp
\nIsaac, right? <\/p>\n

133
\n00:07:54,280 –> 00:07:57,560
\nSo they believed that that
\nactually happened on Mount <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:57,560 –> 00:07:59,520
\nGerizim, which is where their
\ntemple was built. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:01,840 –> 00:08:04,640
\nAll right, so that’s that’s what
\nhe has to say about that. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:05,480 –> 00:08:08,640
\nExcuse me.
\nAll right, so the Samaritans <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:08,640 –> 00:08:12,080
\nbelieved in God, but their
\nbelief was filled with man made <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:12,080 –> 00:08:15,640
\nrituals and traditions.
\nIt was like the religion of the <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:15,640 –> 00:08:17,760
\nJews.
\nIt was a a religion of <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:17,760 –> 00:08:21,800
\nappearance in many ways, and
\nmost people in that religion did<\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:27,520
\nnot end up with a saving belief.
\nSo on his way to Galilee, Jesus <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:27,520 –> 00:08:29,760
\nwent the way that no one else
\nwould have gone. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:30,040 –> 00:08:32,960
\nAnd he goes right up through
\nSamaria. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:33,480 –> 00:08:37,400
\nAnd verse 5 of of John chapter 4
\nsays so he came to a town of <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:37,400 –> 00:08:41,840
\nSamaria called Saikar.
\nSaikar is thought to have been <\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:42,080 –> 00:08:44,240
\na, a small village, possibly by
\nShechem. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:45,160 –> 00:08:47,400
\nIt’s thought to have been even
\nmaybe just another name for <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:49,040
\nShechem.
\nSo we know where this is. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:49,040 –> 00:08:52,280
\nHe’s at Shechem and it says that
\nit’s near the field that Jacob <\/p>\n

150
\n00:08:52,640 –> 00:08:57,120
\nhad given to his son Joseph.
\nNow we have to do a little bit <\/p>\n

151
\n00:08:57,120 –> 00:08:59,320
\nof digging, if you’re like me,
\nto figure out exactly what that <\/p>\n

152
\n00:08:59,320 –> 00:09:01,280
\nstory was and what’s involved
\nwith that. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:01,480 –> 00:09:03,600
\nBut it’s important to the story
\nto understand that. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:03,600 –> 00:09:06,080
\nSo we’re going to go through
\njust a few verses to get a feel <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:09,640
\nfor this field that Jacob gave
\nto his son Joseph. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:09,640 –> 00:09:12,320
\nAnd 1st we’re going to go to
\nJoshua chapter 24. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:16,080
\nSo Joshua chapter 24 is the
\nchapter when all of Israel <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:16,080 –> 00:09:18,720
\ngathered.
\nIt’s at the end of Joshua, all <\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:18,720 –> 00:09:22,240
\nof Israel gathers together and
\nJoshua calls them, you remember <\/p>\n

160
\n00:09:22,240 –> 00:09:25,360
\nthe, the words he calls them to
\nchoose who they’re going to <\/p>\n

161
\n00:09:25,360 –> 00:09:28,080
\nserve.
\nHe says, As for me and my house,<\/p>\n

162
\n00:09:28,440 –> 00:09:30,720
\nwe will serve the Lord, We will
\nserve Yahweh. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:09:31,320 –> 00:09:35,520
\nSo I think it’s it’s worth
\nmaking a note of this in your <\/p>\n

164
\n00:09:35,520 –> 00:09:39,240
\nBible in John four and maybe
\nmaybe back in in Joshua as well.<\/p>\n

165
\n00:09:39,560 –> 00:09:43,920
\nSo Joshua chapter 24, verse 22
\ntells us about the field that <\/p>\n

166
\n00:09:43,920 –> 00:09:50,000
\nJacob gave to Joseph at Shechem.
\nJoshua 24 verse 32 says, As for <\/p>\n

167
\n00:09:50,000 –> 00:09:54,320
\nthe bones of Joseph, which the
\npeople of Israel brought up from<\/p>\n

168
\n00:09:54,320 –> 00:09:56,920
\nEgypt, they buried them at
\nShechem. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:09:57,520 –> 00:10:03,040
\nSo not only did Jacob give the
\nland to Joseph, but Joseph in <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:03,040 –> 00:10:06,120
\nthe end ends up being buried
\nthere, it says in the piece of <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:06,120 –> 00:10:09,360
\nland that Jacob bought from the
\nsons of Hamor, the father of <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:09,360 –> 00:10:11,920
\nShechem, for 100 pieces of
\nmoney. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:12,360 –> 00:10:15,200
\nSo this is one of those rare
\ntimes when, when the one of the <\/p>\n

174
\n00:10:15,200 –> 00:10:19,880
\npatriarchs actually owns land in
\nthe promised land, it became an <\/p>\n

175
\n00:10:19,880 –> 00:10:22,720
\ninheritance of the descendants
\nof Joseph, we’re told. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:10:23,320 –> 00:10:26,800
\nSo the field that Jacob bought,
\nhe gives as an inheritance <\/p>\n

177
\n00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:32,520
\nspecially to Joseph and Israel.
\nThe nation takes Joseph’s bones <\/p>\n

178
\n00:10:32,720 –> 00:10:34,960
\nmany years later, there to be
\nburied. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:10:35,800 –> 00:10:37,200
\nAll right, so that gives us some
\ninformation. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:39,920
\nLet’s go over to Genesis 33.
\nSo now we’re looking at the <\/p>\n

181
\n00:10:39,920 –> 00:10:43,080
\ncontext.
\nThe context is of Jacob just <\/p>\n

182
\n00:10:43,080 –> 00:10:46,680
\nafter he’d met up with Esau,
\nGenesis 33 and 19. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:10:47,080 –> 00:10:53,160
\nAnd he has come now safely to
\nShechem, Genesis 3319, it says. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:10:53,520 –> 00:10:57,320
\nAnd from the sons of Hamor,
\nShechem’s father, he bought for <\/p>\n

185
\n00:10:57,320 –> 00:11:02,440
\n100 pieces of money the piece of
\nland on which he had pitched his<\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:02,440 –> 00:11:04,280
\ntent.
\nSo he bought the land. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:04,280 –> 00:11:07,000
\nAnd what does he do?
\nIt says there he erected an <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:07,000 –> 00:11:10,520
\naltar and he called it El Elohi
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:11,160 –> 00:11:13,120
\nIt’s interesting to know that at
\nthis place. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:13,120 –> 00:11:16,280
\nSo Jacob buys it and he buys it
\nso that he can build an altar <\/p>\n

191
\n00:11:16,280 –> 00:11:19,120
\nthere.
\nAnd it’s also the place where <\/p>\n

192
\n00:11:19,120 –> 00:11:22,240
\nAbraham had built an altar back
\nin Genesis chapter 12. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:11:22,640 –> 00:11:25,240
\nHe builds an altar there when he
\nfirst comes into the land. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:11:26,040 –> 00:11:28,440
\nAnd then we’ll, we’ll, we saw as
\nas in the reading this morning <\/p>\n

195
\n00:11:28,440 –> 00:11:31,720
\nthat there’s a, there’s a well
\nthat Jacob digs in that same <\/p>\n

196
\n00:11:31,720 –> 00:11:34,360
\nplace.
\nSo Jacob gave his son Joseph <\/p>\n

197
\n00:11:34,360 –> 00:11:36,560
\nthis field.
\nIt’s got a well on it. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:11:36,680 –> 00:11:40,240
\nIt’s got an altar on it.
\nAnd Abraham had also built an <\/p>\n

199
\n00:11:40,240 –> 00:11:43,480
\naltar on the same place.
\nSo this is a very, very <\/p>\n

200
\n00:11:43,480 –> 00:11:47,040
\nimportant place.
\nThe next this place then is, is <\/p>\n

201
\n00:11:47,040 –> 00:11:51,560
\nso important to Joseph that he
\nasks for his bones to be carried<\/p>\n

202
\n00:11:51,560 –> 00:11:53,240
\nthere.
\nSo come with me to Genesis <\/p>\n

203
\n00:11:53,240 –> 00:11:59,680
\nchapter 50, Genesis 50.
\nJoseph is is about to to die and<\/p>\n

204
\n00:11:59,680 –> 00:12:03,280
\nhe says to his brothers, I’m
\nabout to die, but God will visit<\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:03,280 –> 00:12:04,560
\nyou.
\nThis is verse 24. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:05,000 –> 00:12:08,000
\nGod will visit you and bring you
\nup out of this land to the land <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:08,000 –> 00:12:10,960
\nthat he swore to Abraham, to
\nIsaac and to Jacob. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:12:11,760 –> 00:12:15,160
\nAnd then Joseph made his sons,
\nthe sons of Israel swear saying,<\/p>\n

209
\n00:12:15,480 –> 00:12:19,680
\nGod will surely visit you and
\nyou shall carry up my bones from<\/p>\n

210
\n00:12:19,680 –> 00:12:22,640
\nhere.
\nSo Joseph died being 110 years <\/p>\n

211
\n00:12:22,640 –> 00:12:24,960
\nold.
\nThey embalmed him and he was put<\/p>\n

212
\n00:12:24,960 –> 00:12:30,120
\nin a coffin in Egypt.
\nSo Joseph is saying, I believe <\/p>\n

213
\n00:12:30,280 –> 00:12:35,560
\nthat we are going back to the
\npromised land and I believe that<\/p>\n

214
\n00:12:35,560 –> 00:12:38,520
\nI will be there, that I will be
\nraised to life again. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:12:38,840 –> 00:12:41,840
\nI want that to be where I am
\nraised to life again. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:12:42,200 –> 00:12:46,960
\nJoseph never forgot the hope of
\nthe Kingdom and he wanted Israel<\/p>\n

217
\n00:12:46,960 –> 00:12:50,600
\nnever to forget the hope, the
\npromises that have been given. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:12:51,160 –> 00:12:55,120
\nSo I think this highlights for
\nus the the faith that Joseph had<\/p>\n

219
\n00:12:55,480 –> 00:13:00,360
\nabout God’s promises.
\nHe’d spent 85% of his life in <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:00,360 –> 00:13:05,480
\nEgypt, but all he wanted was to
\nend up in the promised land. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:09,280
\nThat’s where his heart was.
\nAnd so he asks the whole nation <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:09,280 –> 00:13:11,480
\nthen to take him back to this
\nland. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:12,200 –> 00:13:15,320
\nIn fact, this is is such an
\nindication of his faith that <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:15,320 –> 00:13:19,800
\nthis is what Hebrews 11 picks up
\nas the key moment of his faith. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:13:20,160 –> 00:13:22,160
\nSo let’s go to Hebrews 11, verse
\n22. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:13:28,840 –> 00:13:34,160
\nHebrews 11\/22 says by faith,
\nJoseph when he died, made <\/p>\n

227
\n00:13:34,160 –> 00:13:37,320
\nmention of the departing of the
\nchildren of Israel and gave <\/p>\n

228
\n00:13:37,320 –> 00:13:39,600
\ncommandment concerning his
\nbones. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:13:40,240 –> 00:13:42,920
\nSo the time of his death, this
\nwas the only thing that was <\/p>\n

230
\n00:13:42,920 –> 00:13:45,040
\nimportant to him, the promised
\nland. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:13:45,640 –> 00:13:48,240
\nAnd one more verse that we’ll
\nlook at just as as we’re <\/p>\n

232
\n00:13:48,240 –> 00:13:50,600
\nresearching this is back in
\nGenesis 49. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:13:51,760 –> 00:13:56,160
\nIt’s a prophecy made by Jacob
\nand Jacob makes those prophecies<\/p>\n

234
\n00:13:56,160 –> 00:13:58,280
\nabout his sons.
\nAnd here’s what he says about <\/p>\n

235
\n00:13:58,280 –> 00:14:01,560
\nJoseph.
\nSo this is Genesis 49, verse 22.<\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:01,960 –> 00:14:08,120
\nIt says Joseph is a fruitful bow
\nor a fruitful tree, a fruitful <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:08,120 –> 00:14:13,120
\nbow by a spring.
\nThat’s an illusion to this well <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:13,120 –> 00:14:16,480
\nthat we’re going to read about
\nhere in John chapter 4, an <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:16,480 –> 00:14:20,200
\nillusion to this this spring.
\nAnd it’s not just a, a, a <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:20,200 –> 00:14:22,840
\nnormal, well, I guess you would
\nsay this is a, a spring. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:23,240 –> 00:14:26,480
\nSo this is a fountain.
\nWell, and his branches will run <\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:26,480 –> 00:14:29,160
\nover the wall.
\nSo I want you to keep that in <\/p>\n

243
\n00:14:29,160 –> 00:14:32,120
\nmind as well, because Jacob
\nmakes this prophecy about <\/p>\n

244
\n00:14:32,200 –> 00:14:36,920
\nJoseph.
\nSo to Joseph, Shechem is not <\/p>\n

245
\n00:14:37,040 –> 00:14:40,200
\nnostalgia.
\nIt’s not the tradition of his <\/p>\n

246
\n00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:43,320
\nfather’s.
\nIt’s not something nice that’s <\/p>\n

247
\n00:14:43,320 –> 00:14:45,040
\nnice because his father gave it
\nto him. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:14:45,640 –> 00:14:50,880
\nTo Joseph, it’s a symbol of his
\nresurrection and of the Kingdom <\/p>\n

249
\n00:14:50,880 –> 00:14:54,120
\nof God and it’s the purpose of
\nhis life. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:14:54,400 –> 00:15:00,760
\nThat’s Shechem to Joseph.
\nSo here’s a picture of where <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:00,760 –> 00:15:04,080
\nShechem is located.
\nShechem is is known as the city <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:04,080 –> 00:15:06,920
\nof choice.
\nIt’s between Mount Gerizim. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:07,680 –> 00:15:10,040
\nYou’ll see that on the left
\nthere the the, the mountain of <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:10,040 –> 00:15:13,440
\nblessing and Mount evil, the
\nmountain of cursing between the <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:13,440 –> 00:15:16,880
\nthe blessings that were were
\npromised for obedience and the <\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:16,880 –> 00:15:20,480
\ncursings for disobedience.
\nIt was a very important city in <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:20,480 –> 00:15:23,560
\nIsrael because of some of the
\nthings that happened there. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:23,960 –> 00:15:27,440
\nSo if you were to think about
\nShechem, you would think about <\/p>\n

259
\n00:15:27,440 –> 00:15:29,120
\nall the different things that
\nhappened there. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:15:29,120 –> 00:15:32,000
\nAnd if you lived there, you
\nwould brag about Shechem. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:35,240
\nThis is the place where all
\nthese different things have <\/p>\n

262
\n00:15:35,240 –> 00:15:36,920
\nhappened.
\nNow, have you ever gone through <\/p>\n

263
\n00:15:36,920 –> 00:15:41,280
\na city where people bragged
\nabout famous events that took <\/p>\n

264
\n00:15:41,280 –> 00:15:44,320
\nplace in their city?
\nYou ever gone through those? <\/p>\n

265
\n00:15:44,680 –> 00:15:47,040
\nYeah.
\nSo I’m from Brantford, ON <\/p>\n

266
\n00:15:47,040 –> 00:15:49,600
\nCanada.
\nDoes anybody know any famous <\/p>\n

267
\n00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:50,800
\nthings that happened in
\nBrantford? <\/p>\n

268
\n00:15:50,800 –> 00:15:54,600
\nYes.
\nOh, OK, That’s one, right. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:15:55,080 –> 00:15:58,360
\nDoes it say that on the water
\ntower now the home of Wayne? <\/p>\n

270
\n00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:00,560
\nProbably not.
\nI think Wayne Gretzky lives in <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:00,560 –> 00:16:04,280
\nThousand Oaks, actually.
\nBut does it? <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:04,360 –> 00:16:08,400
\nWhat else in for Brantford?
\nYeah, aha, too great things. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:08,400 –> 00:16:09,640
\nYeah.
\nSo as I was growing up in <\/p>\n

274
\n00:16:09,640 –> 00:16:12,160
\nBrantford, I remember the water
\ntower, and it said on the water <\/p>\n

275
\n00:16:12,160 –> 00:16:15,360
\ntower Brantford, the telephone
\ncity, is what it said on the <\/p>\n

276
\n00:16:15,360 –> 00:16:17,960
\nwater tower as I went by there.
\nSo anyway, you get the idea. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:16:17,960 –> 00:16:19,920
\nSo what would it say if you were
\nin Shechem? <\/p>\n

278
\n00:16:20,200 –> 00:16:24,160
\nOn the sign in Shechem, it would
\nsay Shechem, the place where <\/p>\n

279
\n00:16:24,520 –> 00:16:27,680
\nAbraham built an altar.
\nHe had to choose between the <\/p>\n

280
\n00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:30,360
\nCanaanites, the cursed people,
\nor the blessings of the <\/p>\n

281
\n00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:32,640
\npromises.
\nIt was the place where Jacob <\/p>\n

282
\n00:16:32,640 –> 00:16:35,280
\nbought the land so he could
\nbuild an altar. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:16:36,040 –> 00:16:38,000
\nIt was the place where Joseph is
\nburied. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:41,840
\nAnd Joseph was a famous guy.
\nJoseph was known. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:16:42,160 –> 00:16:43,920
\nDoes anybody know the Egyptian
\nname? <\/p>\n

286
\n00:16:44,040 –> 00:16:45,880
\nThe name the Egyptians gave to
\nJoseph. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:16:47,040 –> 00:16:47,800
\nYeah.
\nRight. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:16:47,800 –> 00:16:50,720
\nSo Zaf Anaf Pania.
\nRight. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:16:50,880 –> 00:16:54,920
\nDoes anybody know what it means?
\nSavior of the world. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:16:54,920 –> 00:16:55,600
\nOK.
\nExcellent. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:16:55,680 –> 00:16:57,720
\nSo that would probably be on the
\nside, too, if we, if they were <\/p>\n

292
\n00:16:57,720 –> 00:16:59,840
\ntalking about it.
\nIt was a place where the <\/p>\n

293
\n00:16:59,840 –> 00:17:04,560
\nblessings and the cursings were
\nread, and it’s also the place <\/p>\n

294
\n00:17:04,560 –> 00:17:07,640
\nthat Joshua called Israel to
\nchoose whom they were going to <\/p>\n

295
\n00:17:07,640 –> 00:17:12,319
\nserve in Joshua chapter 24,
\nwhere he says now therefore fear<\/p>\n

296
\n00:17:12,319 –> 00:17:16,240
\nYahweh, serve him in sincerity
\nand in faithfulness. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:17:16,560 –> 00:17:19,319
\nPut away the gods that your
\nfather’s have served beyond the <\/p>\n

298
\n00:17:19,319 –> 00:17:22,440
\nriver and in Egypt and serve the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:17:22,800 –> 00:17:26,200
\nJoshua says, As for me in my
\nhouse, we will serve the Lord. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:17:26,400 –> 00:17:29,640
\nSo it’s a it’s a really
\nremarkable place and the <\/p>\n

301
\n00:17:29,640 –> 00:17:32,720
\nSamaritan woman had come from
\nthis remarkable, remarkable <\/p>\n

302
\n00:17:32,720 –> 00:17:36,040
\nspiritual heritage.
\nAll right, with that in mind, <\/p>\n

303
\n00:17:36,040 –> 00:17:39,120
\nthis is this is kind of her
\nframe of reference, her frame of<\/p>\n

304
\n00:17:39,120 –> 00:17:41,200
\nthinking.
\nHere we go to verse 6 of John <\/p>\n

305
\n00:17:41,200 –> 00:17:44,320
\nchapter 4.
\nIt says now Jacob’s well was <\/p>\n

306
\n00:17:44,320 –> 00:17:47,040
\nthere.
\nJesus therefore, being wearied <\/p>\n

307
\n00:17:47,040 –> 00:17:49,680
\nwith his journey, sat thus on
\nthe well. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:17:49,680 –> 00:17:54,240
\nAnd it was about the 6th hour.
\nSo one of the things that we <\/p>\n

309
\n00:17:54,240 –> 00:17:58,040
\nfind when we research these
\nwells, because our research so <\/p>\n

310
\n00:17:58,040 –> 00:18:02,040
\nfar has already pointed at this,
\nis that John uses two different <\/p>\n

311
\n00:18:02,040 –> 00:18:05,720
\nwords for the wells in this
\nstory. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:18:06,280 –> 00:18:10,240
\nWell, actually John uses 1 and
\nthe woman uses a completely <\/p>\n

313
\n00:18:10,240 –> 00:18:14,280
\ndifferent word for this well.
\nSo the one that John uses the <\/p>\n

314
\n00:18:14,280 –> 00:18:18,520
\nwell is the Greek word pegay.
\nAnd the word that John that John<\/p>\n

315
\n00:18:18,520 –> 00:18:21,600
\nuses for Jacob’s well means a
\nfountain. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:18:22,280 –> 00:18:25,080
\nIt’s a a, a well that’s that has
\na spring in it. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:18:25,280 –> 00:18:29,320
\nSo it has flowing water, which
\nthey would actually call living <\/p>\n

318
\n00:18:29,320 –> 00:18:33,960
\nwater in this well.
\nSo John calls Jacob’s well a <\/p>\n

319
\n00:18:33,960 –> 00:18:36,920
\nfountain.
\nBut the whole story gets more <\/p>\n

320
\n00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:39,560
\ninteresting when we realize that
\nwhat the woman actually calls <\/p>\n

321
\n00:18:39,560 –> 00:18:44,440
\nthis well is a Greek word freer.
\nAnd that means a hole in the <\/p>\n

322
\n00:18:44,440 –> 00:18:47,040
\nground.
\nYou see the difference. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:18:47,360 –> 00:18:51,080
\nSo John says, no, this, this is
\na this is a fountain. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:18:51,320 –> 00:18:52,720
\nAnd this is what the narrative
\nsays. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:18:52,720 –> 00:18:54,440
\nThis is what God recognizes it
\nas. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:18:54,840 –> 00:18:57,600
\nAnd the woman looks at it as a
\nhole in the ground. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:18:58,480 –> 00:19:02,080
\nLet me show you So John four and
\nwe’re going to look at verse <\/p>\n

328
\n00:19:02,640 –> 00:19:06,880
\nsix.
\nFirst of all, so it says now <\/p>\n

329
\n00:19:06,880 –> 00:19:10,800
\nJacob’s well, and that’s the
\nword fountain was there because <\/p>\n

330
\n00:19:10,800 –> 00:19:14,160
\nJohn, the writer of the Gospel
\nhere the narrative is saying, <\/p>\n

331
\n00:19:14,960 –> 00:19:17,840
\nJesus therefore being wearied
\nwith his journey, set thus on <\/p>\n

332
\n00:19:18,080 –> 00:19:21,440
\nthe well on the fountain, And it
\nwas about the 6th hour. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:19:21,960 –> 00:19:24,280
\nThen we get down to verse 11,
\nand it says, And the woman said <\/p>\n

334
\n00:19:24,280 –> 00:19:26,880
\nto him, Sir, thou hast nothing
\nto drink with. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:19:26,920 –> 00:19:31,280
\nAnd the well the hole in the
\nground is deep. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:19:31,960 –> 00:19:36,560
\nFrom whence then hast thou that
\nliving water we go over to? <\/p>\n

337
\n00:19:36,560 –> 00:19:39,560
\nTo verse 12 Then so the woman
\nspeaking again, and she says, <\/p>\n

338
\n00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:43,400
\nArt thou greater than our Father
\nJacob, which gave us the well, <\/p>\n

339
\n00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:46,240
\nwhich gave us the hole in the
\nground, and drank thereof <\/p>\n

340
\n00:19:46,240 –> 00:19:48,440
\nhimself and his children, and
\nhis cattle? <\/p>\n

341
\n00:19:48,960 –> 00:19:52,160
\nAnd then of course we go down to
\nverse 14, where Jesus expands <\/p>\n

342
\n00:19:52,160 –> 00:19:55,320
\nthis idea of this fountain.
\nIt says, But whosoever drinketh <\/p>\n

343
\n00:19:55,320 –> 00:19:58,360
\nof the water that I shall give
\nhim, she’ll never thirst, but <\/p>\n

344
\n00:19:58,360 –> 00:20:03,000
\nthe water that I shall give him
\nshall be unto him a well, a <\/p>\n

345
\n00:20:03,000 –> 00:20:06,920
\nfountain of water springing up
\ninto everlasting life. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:20:07,120 –> 00:20:10,200
\nAnd that’s the verse that kind
\nof clues you into the difference<\/p>\n

347
\n00:20:10,200 –> 00:20:13,080
\nbetween the perspectives about
\nthis well. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:20:14,040 –> 00:20:18,240
\nSo John is telling us that God’s
\nthat God’s Word and his <\/p>\n

349
\n00:20:18,240 –> 00:20:22,200
\npromises, which this well
\nrepresents, are viewed <\/p>\n

350
\n00:20:22,280 –> 00:20:26,960
\ndifferently by different people.
\nTo some people, his promises and<\/p>\n

351
\n00:20:26,960 –> 00:20:31,160
\nhis word is a a flowing well of
\nliving water. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:20:31,560 –> 00:20:34,600
\nThey’re from God.
\nAnd to other people, the word of<\/p>\n

353
\n00:20:34,600 –> 00:20:38,000
\nGod is just water.
\nIt’s something that comes from <\/p>\n

354
\n00:20:38,000 –> 00:20:40,760
\nthe ground.
\nIt’s something that comes in, in<\/p>\n

355
\n00:20:40,760 –> 00:20:43,320
\nthis case, from a a pretty
\nspecial piece of ground, <\/p>\n

356
\n00:20:43,480 –> 00:20:45,840
\nsomething that our ancestor
\nJacob has dug. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:20:46,880 –> 00:20:50,080
\nBut it’s not something that
\nwould change the course of your <\/p>\n

358
\n00:20:50,080 –> 00:20:53,640
\nlife.
\nSo the woman here, she doesn’t <\/p>\n

359
\n00:20:53,640 –> 00:20:57,800
\nlook at God’s word and God’s
\npromises like Joseph did. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:20:58,720 –> 00:21:02,840
\nShe sees it as as something to
\nbe proud of that heritage, <\/p>\n

361
\n00:21:03,240 –> 00:21:07,120
\nsomething that makes her group
\nsuperior to to other groups. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:21:07,600 –> 00:21:10,720
\nAnd so the woman at the well, to
\nher, it’s just a hole in the <\/p>\n

363
\n00:21:10,720 –> 00:21:13,720
\nground that they got water from.
\nNow, I think there’s an <\/p>\n

364
\n00:21:13,720 –> 00:21:18,000
\nexpectation already in that for
\nus, how do we see the word of <\/p>\n

365
\n00:21:18,000 –> 00:21:19,800
\nGod?
\nHow do we see the hope of the <\/p>\n

366
\n00:21:19,800 –> 00:21:23,320
\nKingdom of God?
\nWhat is our worship like? <\/p>\n

367
\n00:21:24,120 –> 00:21:27,080
\nDo we look at the promises like
\na fountain of living water? <\/p>\n

368
\n00:21:27,520 –> 00:21:31,520
\nLike Joseph who who wanted to be
\nbrought back to that place? <\/p>\n

369
\n00:21:31,880 –> 00:21:35,440
\nLike Joseph who who wanted to be
\nburied because that was his <\/p>\n

370
\n00:21:35,440 –> 00:21:37,360
\nhope, buried there because that
\nwas his hope? <\/p>\n

371
\n00:21:38,080 –> 00:21:43,760
\nOr do we see it like the ground
\nwith just water in it? <\/p>\n

372
\n00:21:44,880 –> 00:21:51,000
\nHow valuable is the water to us?
\nSo that brings us back to John <\/p>\n

373
\n00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:53,720
\n4:00 and 7:00.
\nSo Jesus is is sitting on the <\/p>\n

374
\n00:21:53,720 –> 00:21:58,680
\nwell and a woman from Samaria
\ncame to draw water and Jesus <\/p>\n

375
\n00:21:58,680 –> 00:22:04,680
\nsays to her, give me to drink.
\nSo here we have a Jew asking a <\/p>\n

376
\n00:22:04,680 –> 00:22:07,800
\nSamaritan to draw water from the
\nwell for him. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:12,960
\nNow if Jesus wanted to instantly
\nopen up a can of worms with this<\/p>\n

378
\n00:22:12,960 –> 00:22:15,600
\nwoman, that was absolutely the
\nright thing to say. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:22:15,600 –> 00:22:17,440
\nAnd I think that’s exactly what
\nhe wanted to do. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:22:18,840 –> 00:22:21,360
\nVerse 8 tells us that the
\ndisciples are not there. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:22:21,360 –> 00:22:24,600
\nIt says for his disciples had
\ngone away into the city to buy <\/p>\n

382
\n00:22:24,600 –> 00:22:28,000
\nfood.
\nWe won’t look at it in any real <\/p>\n

383
\n00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:30,920
\ndetail, but later on the
\ndisciples have really almost the<\/p>\n

384
\n00:22:30,920 –> 00:22:34,680
\nsame problem to deal with as the
\nwoman has to deal with in the <\/p>\n

385
\n00:22:34,680 –> 00:22:36,240
\nWord, their perspective on
\nthings. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:22:37,040 –> 00:22:41,480
\nSo Jesus asks her for some water
\nand she responds in verse 9 she <\/p>\n

387
\n00:22:41,480 –> 00:22:49,480
\nsays, how is it that you, a Jew,
\nask for a drink from me, a woman<\/p>\n

388
\n00:22:49,480 –> 00:22:53,640
\nof Samaria, for the Jews have no
\ndealings with the Samaritans. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:22:54,320 –> 00:22:59,880
\nShe says, are you serious?
\nYou guys have nothing to do with<\/p>\n

390
\n00:22:59,880 –> 00:23:02,280
\nus.
\nYou guys make a point of going <\/p>\n

391
\n00:23:02,280 –> 00:23:07,280
\nall the way around our country
\nand here you are asking me to <\/p>\n

392
\n00:23:07,280 –> 00:23:10,720
\ndraw water for you.
\nWhy would I do that for you? <\/p>\n

393
\n00:23:11,640 –> 00:23:15,840
\nAnd she gets all fired up
\nbecause Jesus has asked her for <\/p>\n

394
\n00:23:15,840 –> 00:23:19,680
\nsome, some water.
\nNow, of course, she has the <\/p>\n

395
\n00:23:19,680 –> 00:23:22,760
\nwrong perspective on things.
\nWhat, what do you think she <\/p>\n

396
\n00:23:22,760 –> 00:23:27,080
\ncould have said to this, this
\nstranger that came up to her on <\/p>\n

397
\n00:23:27,080 –> 00:23:29,160
\nthis?
\nWell, well, maybe even from her <\/p>\n

398
\n00:23:29,160 –> 00:23:31,440
\nperspective, she could have,
\ncould have said something like, <\/p>\n

399
\n00:23:32,080 –> 00:23:33,840
\nis this your first time in
\nShechem? <\/p>\n

400
\n00:23:34,760 –> 00:23:38,400
\nDo you know the hope of, of
\nJoseph who’s buried here? <\/p>\n

401
\n00:23:38,400 –> 00:23:41,280
\nDo you know why he wanted his
\nbones to be brought back here? <\/p>\n

402
\n00:23:41,760 –> 00:23:43,640
\nBut that’s not, that’s not what
\nshe says, right? <\/p>\n

403
\n00:23:43,640 –> 00:23:46,000
\nThere’s there’s something else
\nthat’s on her mind that’s that’s<\/p>\n

404
\n00:23:46,000 –> 00:23:49,080
\ngreater than that.
\nSo verse 10, Jesus answers and <\/p>\n

405
\n00:23:49,080 –> 00:23:54,280
\nsays to her, if you knew the
\ngift of God, if you had <\/p>\n

406
\n00:23:54,280 –> 00:24:00,160
\nspiritual understanding of God’s
\nplan, like Abraham, like Jacob, <\/p>\n

407
\n00:24:01,360 –> 00:24:06,600
\nlike Joseph, like Joshua had,
\nand who it is that says to you, <\/p>\n

408
\n00:24:06,600 –> 00:24:10,760
\ngive me to drink, you would have
\nasked him and he would have <\/p>\n

409
\n00:24:10,760 –> 00:24:15,480
\ngiven you living water.
\nIf you knew about the Kingdom <\/p>\n

410
\n00:24:16,280 –> 00:24:20,880
\nand if you knew who I am, your
\nanswer would have been a lot <\/p>\n

411
\n00:24:20,880 –> 00:24:22,560
\ndifferent.
\nWhen I asked you to give me a <\/p>\n

412
\n00:24:22,560 –> 00:24:27,000
\ndrink of water, you would have
\nbeen asking me for living water,<\/p>\n

413
\n00:24:27,560 –> 00:24:31,800
\nfor the words of eternal life.
\nAnd so Jesus reframes, reframes <\/p>\n

414
\n00:24:31,800 –> 00:24:36,400
\nthe whole conversation to a
\nspiritual level, but her <\/p>\n

415
\n00:24:36,400 –> 00:24:40,280
\nthinking is still on earthly
\nthings in in verse 11. <\/p>\n

416
\n00:24:40,920 –> 00:24:44,760
\nAnd the woman says to him, Sir,
\nyou have nothing to draw water <\/p>\n

417
\n00:24:44,760 –> 00:24:48,120
\nwith and the wells is deep.
\nIt’s a it’s a deep hole in the <\/p>\n

418
\n00:24:48,120 –> 00:24:50,480
\nground.
\nShe says, where do you get that <\/p>\n

419
\n00:24:50,480 –> 00:24:53,200
\nliving water?
\nYou don’t even have a bucket. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:24:53,560 –> 00:24:55,000
\nWhere could you get that water
\nfrom? <\/p>\n

421
\n00:24:56,120 –> 00:25:00,800
\nWell, she says, are you greater
\nthan our father Jacob? <\/p>\n

422
\n00:25:01,720 –> 00:25:06,360
\nHe gave us the well and he drank
\nfrom it himself, as did his sons<\/p>\n

423
\n00:25:06,480 –> 00:25:10,960
\nand his livestock.
\nShe says Jacob dug this well. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:25:11,960 –> 00:25:16,640
\nAre you greater than Jacob?
\nDo you think that your water is <\/p>\n

425
\n00:25:16,640 –> 00:25:21,040
\ngreater than the water that
\ncomes from Jacob’s well, from <\/p>\n

426
\n00:25:21,040 –> 00:25:26,080
\nJacob’s hole in the ground?
\nAnd Jesus says to her, everyone <\/p>\n

427
\n00:25:26,080 –> 00:25:29,600
\nthat drinks of this water will
\nbe thirsty again. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:25:30,800 –> 00:25:34,280
\nYour water is just water.
\nYou’re going to have to come <\/p>\n

429
\n00:25:34,280 –> 00:25:37,560
\nback for more tomorrow.
\nYou’re going to have to come <\/p>\n

430
\n00:25:37,560 –> 00:25:41,040
\nback every day.
\nYou’ll be putting all of your <\/p>\n

431
\n00:25:41,040 –> 00:25:44,440
\nenergy into drawing water, and
\nyou’ll still need to come back <\/p>\n

432
\n00:25:44,440 –> 00:25:49,920
\nagain and again to draw water.
\nThat’s the water I think that <\/p>\n

433
\n00:25:49,920 –> 00:25:51,280
\nthe whole world is drinking,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

434
\n00:25:52,440 –> 00:25:58,000
\nWater from a hole in the ground,
\ndrawn daily, day after day after<\/p>\n

435
\n00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:00,480
\nday.
\nTheir lives are pointless. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:26:00,480 –> 00:26:02,640
\nThere’s nothing they’re
\naccomplishing with their life. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:26:03,200 –> 00:26:06,320
\nAnd Jesus is trying to introduce
\nher to something far better. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:26:06,960 –> 00:26:09,160
\nHe says For who’s?
\nBut whosoever drinks of the <\/p>\n

439
\n00:26:09,160 –> 00:26:13,000
\nwater that I will give, she’ll
\nnever thirst. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:26:13,840 –> 00:26:18,000
\nYou’ll never want anything else.
\nOnce you learn about the Kingdom<\/p>\n

441
\n00:26:18,760 –> 00:26:23,840
\nand about eternal life, and once
\nyou believe in those things like<\/p>\n

442
\n00:26:23,840 –> 00:26:29,360
\nJoseph did, you’ll be fully
\nsatisfied and the purpose of <\/p>\n

443
\n00:26:29,360 –> 00:26:31,520
\nyour life will completely
\nchange. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:26:32,280 –> 00:26:37,880
\nYou will not want anything else.
\nYou’ll want to get out of Egypt <\/p>\n

445
\n00:26:38,560 –> 00:26:43,160
\nand come to the promised land.
\nSo Jesus continues, But the <\/p>\n

446
\n00:26:43,160 –> 00:26:46,880
\nwater that I should give him
\nshall be in him, a well of <\/p>\n

447
\n00:26:46,880 –> 00:26:50,000
\nspringing water, springing up
\nunto everlasting life. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:26:51,480 –> 00:26:55,520
\nThe water that I can give you,
\nthis faith that I can give you <\/p>\n

449
\n00:26:55,960 –> 00:26:59,920
\nwill be something that you can
\ngive to other people and your <\/p>\n

450
\n00:26:59,920 –> 00:27:04,480
\nfaith will still be flowing.
\nYou yourself will be a fountain.<\/p>\n

451
\n00:27:05,720 –> 00:27:08,960
\nAnd so the woman says in verse
\n15, Sir, give me this water. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:27:09,200 –> 00:27:10,680
\nShe says, that sounds really
\ngood. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:27:10,680 –> 00:27:13,240
\nI want this water.
\nI will get thirsty again and I <\/p>\n

454
\n00:27:13,240 –> 00:27:15,400
\nwon’t have to draw water.
\nThis is this is perfect. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:27:16,440 –> 00:27:19,400
\nSo she’s still in the dark with
\nthis conversation with Jesus. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:27:19,840 –> 00:27:22,640
\nShe’s not getting it.
\nShe doesn’t realize what Jesus <\/p>\n

457
\n00:27:22,640 –> 00:27:26,040
\nis talking about.
\nSo Jesus decides to say <\/p>\n

458
\n00:27:26,040 –> 00:27:29,640
\nsomething to her that that calls
\nher out, that gets her <\/p>\n

459
\n00:27:29,640 –> 00:27:35,400
\nattention, to show her the
\nproblem that she had, that her <\/p>\n

460
\n00:27:35,400 –> 00:27:39,800
\nworship had to be more than just
\nrituals and traditions. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:27:40,800 –> 00:27:44,080
\nIn a way, what he says to her is
\ngiving her some of that living <\/p>\n

462
\n00:27:44,080 –> 00:27:47,160
\nwater.
\nSo verse 16, Jesus says to her, <\/p>\n

463
\n00:27:47,920 –> 00:27:50,240
\ngo call your husband and come
\nhere. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:27:51,760 –> 00:27:55,040
\nNow that would have shocked her.
\nWhere did that come from? <\/p>\n

465
\n00:27:56,000 –> 00:27:57,480
\nWhy do you want me to call my
\nhusband? <\/p>\n

466
\n00:27:58,000 –> 00:28:01,040
\nAnd and you can hear the tone.
\nYou could feel the tone change <\/p>\n

467
\n00:28:01,360 –> 00:28:05,120
\nin her response.
\nThe conversation is no longer a <\/p>\n

468
\n00:28:05,120 –> 00:28:08,720
\nSamaritan debating about her
\ngroup being better. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:28:10,680 –> 00:28:13,160
\nThe woman answers and says to
\nhim, I have no husband. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:28:13,960 –> 00:28:17,080
\nShe’s thinking, you know, maybe
\nI can kind of deflect the <\/p>\n

471
\n00:28:17,080 –> 00:28:19,960
\nquestion.
\nBut Jesus, he’s not going to let<\/p>\n

472
\n00:28:19,960 –> 00:28:21,600
\nher get off.
\nThat is easy is he? <\/p>\n

473
\n00:28:21,960 –> 00:28:24,200
\nAnd Jesus says to her, you’re
\nright in saying I have no <\/p>\n

474
\n00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:28,760
\nhusband, for you have 5 husbands
\nand the one you have now is not <\/p>\n

475
\n00:28:28,760 –> 00:28:31,280
\nyour husband.
\nWhat you said is true. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:28:33,480 –> 00:28:36,520
\nWow.
\nA minute ago they were debating <\/p>\n

477
\n00:28:36,520 –> 00:28:41,240
\nabout whose water was better, a
\nJew and a Samaritan, whose <\/p>\n

478
\n00:28:41,240 –> 00:28:44,880
\nworship was better in a way
\nwhose ecclesia was better. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:28:45,480 –> 00:28:50,840
\nAnd Jesus looks right into her
\nheart and he sees her adulterous<\/p>\n

480
\n00:28:50,840 –> 00:28:55,280
\nlife and the conversation goes
\ndeep, deep into that heart. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:28:56,120 –> 00:29:01,680
\nAnd he says, if your worship is
\ngreater, if your, if your water <\/p>\n

482
\n00:29:01,680 –> 00:29:07,160
\nis greater, then why hasn’t it
\nhad an effect on your life? <\/p>\n

483
\n00:29:09,080 –> 00:29:11,160
\nWhy aren’t you developing the
\nfruit of the spirit? <\/p>\n

484
\n00:29:12,440 –> 00:29:14,680
\nYou know, we, we said earlier
\nthat a lot of people compare the<\/p>\n

485
\n00:29:14,680 –> 00:29:16,560
\nstory of Nicodemus and the
\nSamaritan woman. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:29:17,120 –> 00:29:19,360
\nExactly right.
\nThey, they both have the same <\/p>\n

487
\n00:29:19,360 –> 00:29:23,440
\nproblem, don’t they?
\nAnd Jesus has said exactly what <\/p>\n

488
\n00:29:23,440 –> 00:29:29,600
\nwas necessary to get her to stop
\nand to actually think about the <\/p>\n

489
\n00:29:29,600 –> 00:29:32,800
\nchallenges that she had and to
\nthink about the impact her <\/p>\n

490
\n00:29:32,800 –> 00:29:36,840
\nworship was having on her life.
\nNow, how often has that happened<\/p>\n

491
\n00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:41,720
\nin your lives when someone says
\nsomething to you that wakes you <\/p>\n

492
\n00:29:41,800 –> 00:29:47,400
\nup about yourself, that that
\nfreezes you in your tracks and <\/p>\n

493
\n00:29:47,400 –> 00:29:51,240
\nthat hopes hopefully makes you
\nquestion your sincerity and <\/p>\n

494
\n00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:53,160
\nhopefully makes you get back on
\nthe right track. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:29:54,280 –> 00:29:56,360
\nI want to tell you a little
\nstory about when, when I was a <\/p>\n

496
\n00:29:56,360 –> 00:30:03,680
\nteenager a long time ago and I
\nwasn’t baptized and I wasn’t <\/p>\n

497
\n00:30:03,680 –> 00:30:08,360
\nmoving toward baptized and I was
\nwalking along with my cousin. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:30:09,600 –> 00:30:16,560
\nMy cousin was about 10 years old
\nand my uncle, her dad was a <\/p>\n

499
\n00:30:16,560 –> 00:30:18,560
\nleader of our CYC.
\nMany of you will have will <\/p>\n

500
\n00:30:18,560 –> 00:30:22,440
\nremember Brother Colin Badger.
\nSo brother Colin Badger was our <\/p>\n

501
\n00:30:22,440 –> 00:30:26,240
\nCYC leader and I had a lot of
\nrespect for for Uncle Colin. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:30:26,960 –> 00:30:30,520
\nAnyway, so my cousin and I are
\nwalking along and she says to <\/p>\n

503
\n00:30:30,520 –> 00:30:33,960
\nme, she’s 10 years old.
\nShe says to me, you know, my dad<\/p>\n

504
\n00:30:33,960 –> 00:30:36,840
\nsays that you’re not interested
\nin the truth. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:30:36,840 –> 00:30:44,360
\nOf course my dad says right.
\nAnd I thought, that’s not true. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:30:44,960 –> 00:30:48,120
\nI am interested in the truth,
\nbut of course I wasn’t <\/p>\n

507
\n00:30:48,320 –> 00:30:50,520
\ninterested in the truth as I as
\nI should have been. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:30:51,080 –> 00:30:54,000
\nAnd when I really thought about
\nit, I realized that my cousin, <\/p>\n

509
\n00:30:54,000 –> 00:30:58,400
\nmy 10 year old cousin was right,
\nthat my my uncle was right. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:30:59,440 –> 00:31:02,400
\nNow that made me make big
\nchanges in my life. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:31:02,400 –> 00:31:06,080
\nThat that conversation that I
\nkind of had with my uncle made <\/p>\n

512
\n00:31:06,080 –> 00:31:10,200
\nme make big changes in my life.
\nNow, maybe it’s not the best <\/p>\n

513
\n00:31:10,200 –> 00:31:15,800
\nidea to say things like that to
\nyour 10 year old kid, but I <\/p>\n

514
\n00:31:15,800 –> 00:31:18,360
\nthink sometimes words can make a
\nbig difference. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:31:19,040 –> 00:31:21,400
\nI was talking to some some young
\nbrethren recently. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:31:21,400 –> 00:31:25,560
\nWe were at a school of the
\nprophets and I asked a group of <\/p>\n

517
\n00:31:25,560 –> 00:31:30,120
\nthem what had had the biggest
\nimpact on bringing them to <\/p>\n

518
\n00:31:30,120 –> 00:31:32,280
\nbelief.
\nAnd we went over in the room and<\/p>\n

519
\n00:31:32,280 –> 00:31:34,640
\neverybody was describing the
\nthing that had had the biggest <\/p>\n

520
\n00:31:34,640 –> 00:31:37,560
\nimpact.
\nAnd these are, you know, mostly <\/p>\n

521
\n00:31:38,360 –> 00:31:42,640
\n20s, twenty year old guys, early
\n20s, mid 20s. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:31:43,800 –> 00:31:47,560
\nAbout a third of them said that
\nthey got to a point where <\/p>\n

523
\n00:31:47,560 –> 00:31:51,480
\nsomeone had actually asked them,
\na brother in the ecclesia, a <\/p>\n

524
\n00:31:51,480 –> 00:31:55,320
\nsister in the ecclesia, someone
\nhad asked, actually asked them <\/p>\n

525
\n00:31:56,000 –> 00:31:59,680
\nabout whether or not they were
\nthinking about being baptized. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:32:01,040 –> 00:32:03,560
\nAnd they said that when that
\nhappened, it made them think, <\/p>\n

527
\n00:32:04,680 –> 00:32:09,640
\nwow, I need to think about that.
\nMaybe I need to be baptized. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:32:09,960 –> 00:32:12,960
\nI was just, I was very surprised
\nat how many people had done that<\/p>\n

529
\n00:32:12,960 –> 00:32:16,280
\nbecause that’s not something
\nthat’s that’s my normal thing to<\/p>\n

530
\n00:32:16,280 –> 00:32:18,560
\ndo.
\nAnd yet how helpful it actually <\/p>\n

531
\n00:32:18,560 –> 00:32:21,160
\nwas to to to these young
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:32:22,440 –> 00:32:23,760
\nAll right, so back to our story
\nthen. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:32:23,760 –> 00:32:28,000
\nSo Jesus has asked the woman
\nabout her husband’s and then in <\/p>\n

534
\n00:32:28,000 –> 00:32:33,640
\nverse 9, the woman said to him,
\nSir, I perceive that you’re a <\/p>\n

535
\n00:32:33,640 –> 00:32:37,160
\nprophet.
\nShe could see that Jesus had <\/p>\n

536
\n00:32:37,160 –> 00:32:40,160
\npower from God just like
\nNicodemus had seen. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:32:40,160 –> 00:32:42,440
\nAnd so she says you must be a
\nprophet. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:32:43,440 –> 00:32:45,720
\nBut she still holds on to the
\nworship of the Samaritans. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:32:45,720 –> 00:32:50,200
\nAnd she figures who better to
\nask about whether the Jews have <\/p>\n

540
\n00:32:50,200 –> 00:32:52,880
\nit right or the Samaritans have
\nit right. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:32:53,480 –> 00:32:55,440
\nAnd so she wants to ask this
\nprophet about that. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:32:55,440 –> 00:32:58,640
\nSo that’s verse 20.
\nOur fathers worshiped in this <\/p>\n

543
\n00:32:58,640 –> 00:33:01,600
\nmountain, on this mountain.
\nBut you say that in Jerusalem is<\/p>\n

544
\n00:33:01,600 –> 00:33:03,000
\nthe place where people ought to
\nworship. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:33:03,720 –> 00:33:09,040
\nShe’s thinking Abraham, Jacob,
\nJoseph all worshipped here. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:33:09,480 –> 00:33:12,160
\nSurely this must be the right
\nplace to worship. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:33:12,520 –> 00:33:17,200
\nJoseph is even buried here.
\nSurely Gerizim must be the right<\/p>\n

548
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:20,480
\nplace and not Jerusalem.
\nFirst of all, I think that’s <\/p>\n

549
\n00:33:20,480 –> 00:33:23,520
\npretty bold that she asks a Jew
\nthis question, right? <\/p>\n

550
\n00:33:23,520 –> 00:33:25,360
\nBecause Jesus is obviously a
\nJew. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:33:26,120 –> 00:33:30,680
\nSo Jesus says to her, woman,
\nbelieve me, the hour is coming <\/p>\n

552
\n00:33:30,680 –> 00:33:36,280
\nwhen neither on this mountain
\nnor in Jerusalem will thou <\/p>\n

553
\n00:33:36,280 –> 00:33:40,520
\nworship the Father.
\nSoon you won’t be worshipping in<\/p>\n

554
\n00:33:40,520 –> 00:33:43,320
\neither place.
\nWhy not? <\/p>\n

555
\n00:33:44,600 –> 00:33:46,880
\nWhy wouldn’t she be worshipping
\nin either place? <\/p>\n

556
\n00:33:47,400 –> 00:33:50,680
\nWhy does he say that?
\nWhat was going to soon happen to<\/p>\n

557
\n00:33:50,680 –> 00:33:54,680
\nboth of those places?
\n8070, right? <\/p>\n

558
\n00:33:54,960 –> 00:33:57,680
\nThey would both be destroyed by
\nthe Romans and there would be no<\/p>\n

559
\n00:33:57,680 –> 00:33:59,800
\nplace for them to go and to
\nworship. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:34:01,080 –> 00:34:04,640
\nSo verse 22, he says you worship
\nwhat you don’t know. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:34:05,800 –> 00:34:10,239
\nWe worship what we know for
\nsalvation is from the Jews. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:34:10,920 –> 00:34:14,920
\nHe says the problem is that you
\nworship what you don’t know, you<\/p>\n

563
\n00:34:14,920 –> 00:34:18,400
\ndon’t understand.
\nWe think of the Samaritans. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:34:18,960 –> 00:34:22,639
\nThey believed in, in just the
\nfive books of the Bible that <\/p>\n

565
\n00:34:22,639 –> 00:34:25,960
\nwere from from God.
\nThe Samaritans didn’t have the <\/p>\n

566
\n00:34:25,960 –> 00:34:29,280
\npromises to David.
\nThey didn’t have the prophets, <\/p>\n

567
\n00:34:29,800 –> 00:34:33,560
\nthey didn’t have the Psalms,
\nthey didn’t have a full picture <\/p>\n

568
\n00:34:33,560 –> 00:34:36,159
\nof the Kingdom like the Jews
\ndid. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:34:36,920 –> 00:34:39,159
\nSalvation clearly was of the
\nJews. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:34:39,679 –> 00:34:42,199
\nIn fact, the Savior was going to
\nbe a Jew. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:34:43,239 –> 00:34:46,960
\nBut it’s not Gerizim or
\nJerusalem that really matters. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:34:46,960 –> 00:34:50,880
\nJesus is saying, he says the
\nhour’s coming, that now here is <\/p>\n

573
\n00:34:50,880 –> 00:34:56,320
\nwhen true worshippers will
\nworship the Father in spirit and<\/p>\n

574
\n00:34:56,320 –> 00:34:59,240
\ntruth.
\nFor the Father is seeking such <\/p>\n

575
\n00:34:59,240 –> 00:35:04,360
\npeople to worship him.
\nTrue worshippers, real <\/p>\n

576
\n00:35:04,400 –> 00:35:09,440
\nworshippers, those who really
\nhonor God, those who do what God<\/p>\n

577
\n00:35:09,440 –> 00:35:13,400
\nsays, that’s those are the
\npeople that God is looking for. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:35:14,200 –> 00:35:18,240
\nTrue worshippers, he says, will
\nworship in spirit and in truth. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:35:18,720 –> 00:35:24,240
\nIn spirit, not just for other
\npeople to see, like the <\/p>\n

580
\n00:35:24,240 –> 00:35:28,480
\nadulterous woman who came to the
\nhole in the ground, who bragged <\/p>\n

581
\n00:35:28,480 –> 00:35:33,200
\nabout the well of Jacob, but
\nthey will worship genuinely. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:35:34,200 –> 00:35:37,240
\nShe needed to be like Abraham,
\nlike Jacob, like Joseph, like <\/p>\n

583
\n00:35:37,240 –> 00:35:41,240
\nJoshua, who saw the truth as a
\nfountain of living water. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:35:42,200 –> 00:35:47,680
\nThey’ll worship in truth.
\nThink of a ritual or a tradition<\/p>\n

585
\n00:35:48,320 –> 00:35:52,720
\nlike like eating animals, clean
\nanimals versus unclean animals. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:35:53,560 –> 00:35:57,280
\nThat was a ritual, but the
\nritual was given to teach a <\/p>\n

587
\n00:35:57,280 –> 00:36:01,760
\nlesson, and some people got so
\ncaught up in the ritual that <\/p>\n

588
\n00:36:01,760 –> 00:36:03,840
\nthey didn’t see the lesson that
\nwas behind it. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:36:04,040 –> 00:36:06,200
\nWhat should have actually
\nchanged their behavior? <\/p>\n

590
\n00:36:06,960 –> 00:36:10,040
\nThe ritual of of unclean and
\nclean gives was given to <\/p>\n

591
\n00:36:10,040 –> 00:36:14,200
\nillustrate people the need to to
\nwatch what they put into their <\/p>\n

592
\n00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:17,840
\nminds.
\nThe the Samaritans and the Jews <\/p>\n

593
\n00:36:17,840 –> 00:36:21,960
\nwere careful about what they
\nate, but they were not careful <\/p>\n

594
\n00:36:21,960 –> 00:36:23,720
\nabout what they were putting
\ninto their minds. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:36:24,800 –> 00:36:28,040
\nThe Samaritans of the Jews had
\ntraditions that kept them apart,<\/p>\n

596
\n00:36:28,240 –> 00:36:31,640
\nways of worshipping that were
\ndifferent, but it wasn’t the <\/p>\n

597
\n00:36:31,640 –> 00:36:33,840
\ntraditions that God was looking
\nfor. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:36:34,360 –> 00:36:40,520
\nGod is looking for people who
\nare being changed by his word. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:36:41,760 –> 00:36:43,800
\nIt’s a lesson, a really
\nimportant lesson for us. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:36:44,440 –> 00:36:47,960
\nIf we’re worshipping in spirit
\nand in truth, it should be <\/p>\n

601
\n00:36:47,960 –> 00:36:52,480
\nchanging our lives.
\nAnd that point would have rang <\/p>\n

602
\n00:36:52,480 –> 00:36:58,440
\nout in the ears of a woman.
\nIn verse 24, Jesus continues, <\/p>\n

603
\n00:36:58,440 –> 00:37:04,760
\nGod is spirit, God is holy, He’s
\ngenuine, and those who worship <\/p>\n

604
\n00:37:04,760 –> 00:37:06,760
\nhim must worship him in spirit
\nand truth. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:37:07,680 –> 00:37:11,440
\nWe’ve got to follow his example.
\nWe should reflect his character.<\/p>\n

606
\n00:37:12,520 –> 00:37:16,720
\nAnd so the woman says in in
\nverse 25, I know that Messiah is<\/p>\n

607
\n00:37:16,720 –> 00:37:19,720
\ncoming.
\nHe who is called Christ, when he<\/p>\n

608
\n00:37:19,720 –> 00:37:23,840
\ncomes, he’ll tell us all things
\nand she’s still responding back <\/p>\n

609
\n00:37:23,840 –> 00:37:27,480
\nto, to to verse 22.
\nYou worship, you know, not what <\/p>\n

610
\n00:37:27,480 –> 00:37:30,400
\nthe words of Jesus.
\nShe believed that the Messiah <\/p>\n

611
\n00:37:30,400 –> 00:37:33,080
\nwould come and teach them and
\nthen they would know. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:37:34,160 –> 00:37:36,320
\nAnd she was ready for spiritual
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:37:37,400 –> 00:37:43,080
\nAnd so Jesus says to her, I who
\nspeak to you am he? <\/p>\n

614
\n00:37:44,000 –> 00:37:51,040
\nHe says, yes, I’m the Messiah,
\nand she believed him. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:37:53,120 –> 00:37:56,720
\nIt was an amazing conversation.
\nBut then the story’s <\/p>\n

616
\n00:37:56,720 –> 00:37:58,680
\ninterrupted, isn’t it, by the
\ndisciples returning? <\/p>\n

617
\n00:37:59,400 –> 00:38:02,440
\nWe look at verse 27.
\nJust then his disciples came <\/p>\n

618
\n00:38:02,440 –> 00:38:06,320
\nback and they marvelled that he
\nwas talking with a woman. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:38:07,320 –> 00:38:10,400
\nThey’ve also got to learn the
\nlesson about worshipping in <\/p>\n

620
\n00:38:10,400 –> 00:38:13,080
\nspirit and truth.
\nHow could he be talking to a <\/p>\n

621
\n00:38:13,080 –> 00:38:15,440
\nSamaritan woman?
\nThey weren’t supposed to be <\/p>\n

622
\n00:38:15,440 –> 00:38:19,040
\nhaving any dealings with with
\nthe Samaritans, the disciples. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:38:19,040 –> 00:38:21,240
\nThe disciples were stuck in
\ntheir traditions. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:24,440
\nAnd that comes out loud and
\nclear to us later on. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:38:25,960 –> 00:38:30,120
\nBut no one said, what do you
\nseek or why are you talking to <\/p>\n

626
\n00:38:30,120 –> 00:38:32,240
\nher?
\nI think that’s pretty smart that<\/p>\n

627
\n00:38:32,240 –> 00:38:34,640
\nthey didn’t say much at that
\npoint, wasn’t it? <\/p>\n

628
\n00:38:35,600 –> 00:38:37,080
\nBut look what the woman does
\nnext. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:38:39,840 –> 00:38:47,560
\nThe woman left her water jar.
\nWow, wow, wow. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:38:48,800 –> 00:38:51,360
\nShe believed.
\nAnd there it is. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:38:52,120 –> 00:38:53,560
\nThere’s the moment that we’ve
\nbeen looking for. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:38:53,760 –> 00:38:59,040
\nShe had no use for the water
\nfrom the well anymore. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:38:59,960 –> 00:39:02,920
\nShe left her water jug right
\nthere by the well. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:39:03,400 –> 00:39:05,200
\nShe was no longer thirsty for
\nthat water. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:39:05,880 –> 00:39:10,240
\nTraditions and rituals are
\nnothing compared to true belief.<\/p>\n

636
\n00:39:10,560 –> 00:39:13,400
\nAnd now she had true belief.
\nShe had living water. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:39:13,920 –> 00:39:16,280
\nAnd so she left her water pot
\nbehind. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:39:18,080 –> 00:39:21,320
\nOnce you’ve tasted faith,
\nnothing compares to it. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:39:21,640 –> 00:39:26,640
\nNothing satisfies like it.
\nAnd she was going now to share <\/p>\n

640
\n00:39:26,760 –> 00:39:29,960
\nthat water, that faith with her
\npeople. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:39:30,440 –> 00:39:34,800
\nIt had become, it was becoming a
\nspring that was flowing from <\/p>\n

642
\n00:39:34,840 –> 00:39:37,160
\nher.
\nAnd so she went away into the <\/p>\n

643
\n00:39:37,160 –> 00:39:41,440
\ntown and said to the people,
\ncome see a man who told me all <\/p>\n

644
\n00:39:41,440 –> 00:39:44,360
\nthat I ever did.
\nCan this be the Christ? <\/p>\n

645
\n00:39:44,880 –> 00:39:47,400
\nShe says, I’ve just been talking
\nto the Messiah. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:39:48,000 –> 00:39:50,760
\nCan you imagine that?
\nAnd her belief is, is so <\/p>\n

647
\n00:39:50,760 –> 00:39:52,760
\ncontagious that the people
\nbelieve too. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:39:53,240 –> 00:39:55,840
\nVerse 30, they went out of the
\ntown and they were coming to <\/p>\n

649
\n00:39:55,840 –> 00:39:58,440
\nhim.
\nLet’s let’s skip down from there<\/p>\n

650
\n00:39:58,440 –> 00:40:03,640
\nto verse 35 because in verse 31
\nto 34, the disciples are going <\/p>\n

651
\n00:40:03,640 –> 00:40:06,120
\nto actually be taught the same
\nlesson as the woman. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:40:06,360 –> 00:40:08,920
\nAnd it’s interesting to follow
\nthat and see the parallels <\/p>\n

653
\n00:40:08,920 –> 00:40:11,000
\nthere.
\nBut in verse 35, the men of the <\/p>\n

654
\n00:40:11,000 –> 00:40:14,120
\ncity are coming out to the well
\nwhere Jesus is. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:40:14,640 –> 00:40:17,760
\nBecause they also believe
\nbecause of the belief of the <\/p>\n

656
\n00:40:17,760 –> 00:40:20,320
\nwoman.
\nAnd Jesus is talking to his <\/p>\n

657
\n00:40:20,320 –> 00:40:25,680
\ndisciples and verse 35, he says,
\nsay not ye, there are yet four <\/p>\n

658
\n00:40:25,680 –> 00:40:27,640
\nmonths.
\nAnd then harvest comes. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:40:28,160 –> 00:40:31,600
\nJesus says to his disciples,
\ndoesn’t it usually take four <\/p>\n

660
\n00:40:31,600 –> 00:40:37,240
\nmonths for grain to grow?
\nBehold, I say to you, lift up <\/p>\n

661
\n00:40:37,240 –> 00:40:40,440
\nyour eyes, look on the fields
\nfor their white already with <\/p>\n

662
\n00:40:40,440 –> 00:40:43,720
\nharvest.
\nHe says we’ll take a look and <\/p>\n

663
\n00:40:43,720 –> 00:40:47,360
\ncoming toward them are a bunch
\nof Samaritans. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:40:47,680 –> 00:40:50,280
\nThey’re coming because they’ve
\nthey’ve learned from the woman <\/p>\n

665
\n00:40:50,480 –> 00:40:52,200
\nthey believe and they want to
\nhear more. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:40:52,800 –> 00:40:56,200
\nNow one commentary I stumbled on
\ntrying to make this connection <\/p>\n

667
\n00:40:56,200 –> 00:40:59,000
\nwith this, this fields that
\nwe’re ready for harvest. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:40:59,360 –> 00:41:02,880
\nAnd one commentary explains that
\nthat these, these people would <\/p>\n

669
\n00:41:02,880 –> 00:41:06,240
\nall have been wearing white and
\nas they walked a, a big group of<\/p>\n

670
\n00:41:06,240 –> 00:41:08,880
\npeople walking towards Jesus,
\ntowards the well, they would <\/p>\n

671
\n00:41:08,880 –> 00:41:12,200
\nhave looked like a, a, a field
\nof grain that was moving. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:41:12,360 –> 00:41:15,280
\nAnd so Jesus points to them and
\nsays, Hey, it’s time for us to <\/p>\n

673
\n00:41:15,280 –> 00:41:17,440
\nget busy.
\nIt’s time for us to get work. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:20,200
\nVerse 36, it says, and he
\nreapeth. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:41:20,440 –> 00:41:24,120
\nHe that reapeth receiveth,
\nreceiveth wages and gathereth <\/p>\n

676
\n00:41:24,120 –> 00:41:28,320
\nfruit unto eternal life, that
\nboth he that soweth and he that <\/p>\n

677
\n00:41:28,320 –> 00:41:33,000
\nreapeth may rejoice together.
\nJesus says to the disciples, <\/p>\n

678
\n00:41:33,360 –> 00:41:37,240
\nthere are already people coming
\nto learn about salvation and we <\/p>\n

679
\n00:41:37,240 –> 00:41:39,720
\nshould be rejoicing with the
\nSamaritan woman. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:41:40,280 –> 00:41:42,320
\nLet’s get out there and let’s
\nhelp her. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:41:43,240 –> 00:41:45,840
\nHe says, and herein is that
\nsaying true. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:41:45,840 –> 00:41:49,560
\nVerse 37 one soweth and another
\nreapeth. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:41:50,240 –> 00:41:53,320
\nThe saying is talking about
\npeople working together. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:41:53,880 –> 00:41:58,040
\nVerse 38, he says, I sent you to
\nreap whereon that, Whereon <\/p>\n

685
\n00:41:58,040 –> 00:42:01,600
\nyou’ve bestowed no labor, other
\nmen labored, and you are entered<\/p>\n

686
\n00:42:01,600 –> 00:42:04,040
\ninto their laborers.
\nWe’re Jews. <\/p>\n

687
\n00:42:04,320 –> 00:42:08,200
\nShe’s a Samaritan.
\nOne of us sows, another reaps. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:42:08,200 –> 00:42:14,120
\nBut look at the great harvest.
\nSo my disciples, let’s rejoice <\/p>\n

689
\n00:42:14,120 –> 00:42:17,240
\nwith her and let’s get out and
\nwork with her. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:42:19,640 –> 00:42:24,680
\nVerse 36 to 38 gives us a
\npowerful example then of working<\/p>\n

691
\n00:42:24,920 –> 00:42:28,840
\nin spirit and in truth and
\nworshiping in that in spirit. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:42:28,840 –> 00:42:33,360
\nOur our service to God cannot be
\nmotivated by how we look. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:42:34,000 –> 00:42:38,040
\nIt has to be genuine, real.
\nIt has to be glorifying God. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:42:38,320 –> 00:42:43,640
\nIt has to be rejoicing in God’s
\nsuccess, in truth, not following<\/p>\n

695
\n00:42:43,720 –> 00:42:49,320
\nrituals and traditions, but in
\ngetting the job done and look <\/p>\n

696
\n00:42:49,320 –> 00:42:54,480
\nwhat the result is in verse 39
\nand many of the Samaritans of <\/p>\n

697
\n00:42:54,480 –> 00:42:57,920
\nthat city believed.
\nGet your marking pencil out <\/p>\n

698
\n00:42:57,920 –> 00:42:59,520
\nright.
\nThis is a good chapter for this.<\/p>\n

699
\n00:42:59,800 –> 00:43:02,320
\nThey believed on him for the
\nsaying of the woman which <\/p>\n

700
\n00:43:02,320 –> 00:43:05,320
\ntestified.
\nHe told me all that I ever did. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:43:06,120 –> 00:43:08,960
\nMany Samaritans of the city
\nbelieved because of the <\/p>\n

702
\n00:43:08,960 –> 00:43:12,320
\ntestimony of the woman.
\nShe got the fire, started them <\/p>\n

703
\n00:43:12,320 –> 00:43:14,360
\nwith them.
\nVerse 40. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:43:14,360 –> 00:43:17,400
\nSo when the Samaritans came to
\nhim, they asked him to stay with<\/p>\n

705
\n00:43:17,400 –> 00:43:19,000
\nthem, and he stayed there two
\ndays. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:43:19,480 –> 00:43:24,920
\nAnd many more believed because
\nof his own word, they believed <\/p>\n

707
\n00:43:24,920 –> 00:43:28,640
\nthemselves.
\nWhat a time that must have been <\/p>\n

708
\n00:43:29,120 –> 00:43:33,520
\nfor the disciples, for the
\nSamaritans, and for Jesus. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:43:34,560 –> 00:43:39,160
\nAnd then they said to the woman,
\nverse 42, It’s no longer because<\/p>\n

710
\n00:43:39,160 –> 00:43:43,600
\nof what you said that we
\nbelieve, for we have heard for <\/p>\n

711
\n00:43:43,600 –> 00:43:51,120
\nourselves and we know this is
\nindeed the Savior of the world. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:43:52,920 –> 00:43:56,680
\nThey believed.
\nAnd John gives us this little <\/p>\n

713
\n00:43:56,680 –> 00:43:59,680
\ncherry on top of the whole
\nstory, doesn’t he? <\/p>\n

714
\n00:43:59,680 –> 00:44:04,160
\nIn that last phrase, we know
\nindeed that this is indeed the <\/p>\n

715
\n00:44:04,160 –> 00:44:08,960
\nSavior of the world.
\nThey said of Jesus, He is the <\/p>\n

716
\n00:44:08,960 –> 00:44:13,920
\nSavior of the world.
\nWhat’s that a reference to? <\/p>\n

717
\n00:44:14,240 –> 00:44:16,440
\nWhat’s he, what’s he calling
\ntheir attention back to? <\/p>\n

718
\n00:44:17,680 –> 00:44:20,840
\nIt’s back to Joseph, isn’t it?
\nThe Savior of the world? <\/p>\n

719
\n00:44:22,160 –> 00:44:26,600
\nBut now they had a new Joseph.
\nThey had a new savior of the <\/p>\n

720
\n00:44:26,600 –> 00:44:32,360
\nworld.
\nAnd that savior was Jesus, the <\/p>\n

721
\n00:44:32,360 –> 00:44:37,920
\nMessiah, the Son of God.
\nI think it’s an incredibly <\/p>\n

722
\n00:44:37,920 –> 00:44:40,280
\nexciting story to look through
\nas we as we understand the <\/p>\n

723
\n00:44:40,280 –> 00:44:42,660
\nbackground to it.
\nSo what are some of the take <\/p>\n

724
\n00:44:42,660 –> 00:44:45,400
\naway lessons that we could get
\nfrom from this today? <\/p>\n

725
\n00:44:47,000 –> 00:44:51,960
\nWell, first of all, real belief
\nmotivates us to make changes in <\/p>\n

726
\n00:44:51,960 –> 00:44:53,680
\nour life.
\nAnd that’s a a good way for us <\/p>\n

727
\n00:44:53,680 –> 00:44:55,200
\nto measure that.
\nIt’s like thinking about <\/p>\n

728
\n00:44:55,200 –> 00:44:59,960
\nyesterday the the fruit of the
\nspirit belief based on man made <\/p>\n

729
\n00:44:59,960 –> 00:45:04,080
\nrituals and traditions is weak.
\nIt’s like a hole in the ground, <\/p>\n

730
\n00:45:04,080 –> 00:45:06,200
\nisn’t it?
\nAnd it’s hesitant to make <\/p>\n

731
\n00:45:06,200 –> 00:45:10,920
\nchanges to us.
\nIt’s hesitant to combat sin, but<\/p>\n

732
\n00:45:10,920 –> 00:45:16,600
\nworship based on faith is life
\nchanging and it’s filled with <\/p>\n

733
\n00:45:16,600 –> 00:45:21,040
\npassion.
\nThe Word of God has the power to<\/p>\n

734
\n00:45:21,040 –> 00:45:26,680
\nshow us what we’re really like.
\nIt has the power for us to have <\/p>\n

735
\n00:45:26,680 –> 00:45:30,560
\na conversation with it, just
\nlike Jesus had with a woman. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:45:31,560 –> 00:45:34,640
\nAnd that scripture can actually
\ncall us out if we’ll listen to <\/p>\n

737
\n00:45:34,640 –> 00:45:36,840
\nit.
\nAnd it can help to inspire <\/p>\n

738
\n00:45:36,840 –> 00:45:40,600
\nchange in US.
\nI think then we’ve we’ve been <\/p>\n

739
\n00:45:40,600 –> 00:45:44,160
\nthrough an incredible chapter
\nhere and a great lesson for us. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:45:44,640 –> 00:45:47,040
\nAnd we look forward to tomorrow
\nwhen we’ll look at at the <\/p>\n

741
\n00:45:47,040 –> 00:45:51,800
\ndisciples, the feeding of the
\n5000 and Jesus walking on the <\/p>\n

742
\n00:45:51,800 –> 00:45:53,160
\nwater.
