00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.980
 John chapter 4, verses 1 through 42.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:14.519
 And as you hear this, believe that this is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:19.120
 And it's given for you, beloved congregation of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:23.679
 When I'm done reading this sermon text for today, I'll say this is the Word of God.

00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.000
 And you respond, thanks be to God.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:35.359
 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John,

00:00:35.939 --> 00:00:39.039
 although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples,

00:00:39.579 --> 00:00:42.780
 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:45.460
 And he had to pass through Samaria.

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.840
 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.219
 Jacob's well was there.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.140
 So Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well.

00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:03.920
 It was about the sixth hour.

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.280
 A woman from Samaria came to draw water.

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.780
 Jesus said to her, give me a drink.

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:16.519
 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:24.480
 The Samaritan woman said to him, how is it that you, a Jew, ask me for a drink, since I'm a Samaritan woman?

00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.980
 For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:36.380
 Jesus answered her, if you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, give me a drink, you would have asked him,

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.840
 and he would have given you living water.

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:46.780
 The woman said to him, sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep.

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:49.579
 Where do you get that living water?

00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:52.920
 Are you greater than our father Jacob?

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:58.320
 He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and all his livestock.

00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:09.159
 Jesus said to her, everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again.

00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.840
 The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

00:02:16.419 --> 00:02:22.859
 The woman said to him, sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.

00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:28.200
 Jesus said to her, go, call your husband and come here.

00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:31.160
 The woman answered him, I have no husband.

00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:39.500
 Jesus said to her, you are right in saying I have no husband, for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband.

00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:41.360
 What you have said is true.

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:45.840
 The woman said to him, sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:51.720
 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.

00:02:51.719 --> 00:03:00.659
 Jesus said to her, woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

00:03:01.020 --> 00:03:02.879
 You worship what you do not know.

00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.659
 We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

00:03:07.659 --> 00:03:13.879
 But the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.

00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:17.060
 For the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:21.840
 God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.199
 The woman said to him, I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ.

00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:29.920
 When he comes, he will tell us all things.

00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:34.340
 Jesus said to her, I who speak to you am he.

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:37.659
 Just then his disciples came back.

00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.640
 They marveled that he was talking with a woman.

00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:43.740
 But no one said, what do you seek or why are you talking with her?

00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:48.240
 So the woman left her water jar and went away into the town and said to the people,

00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:52.520
 Come, see a man who told me all about what I ever did.

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:54.219
 Can this be the Christ?

00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.000
 They went out of the town and were coming to him.

00:03:58.700 --> 00:04:02.420
 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

00:04:02.939 --> 00:04:06.920
 But he said to them, I have food to eat that you do not know about.

00:04:07.320 --> 00:04:11.439
 So the disciples said to one another, has anyone brought him something to eat?

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:18.000
 Jesus said to them, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.879
 Do you not say there are yet four months, then comes the harvest?

00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.939
 Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest.

00:04:27.659 --> 00:04:34.220
 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life,

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:38.100
 so that the sower and the reaper might rejoice together.

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:42.340
 For here the saying holds true, one sows and another reaps.

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.180
 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor.

00:04:46.700 --> 00:04:50.760
 Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.

00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:57.020
 Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony.

00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.300
 He told me all that I ever did.

00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:06.160
 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:09.040
 And many more believed because of his word.

00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:14.240
 They said to the woman, it is no longer because of what you said that we believe,

00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:21.879
 for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:24.480
 And this is the word of God.

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:26.040
 Thanks be to God.

00:05:26.580 --> 00:05:27.540
 You may be seated.

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:32.900
 Let's pray.

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:43.920
 Our gracious God, we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from your mouth.

00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:47.460
 Please make us hungry now for your heavenly food,

00:05:48.020 --> 00:05:50.580
 that you may nourish us again today, Lord,

00:05:51.080 --> 00:05:56.840
 in the way of eternal life made possible through Jesus Christ, who is the bread of heaven.

00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:56.879
 Amen.

00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:06.139
 Cause us, Lord, to behold the heavenliness of Jesus Christ, who came to save his bride, the church.

00:06:06.659 --> 00:06:06.899
 Amen.

00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:13.599
 Well, when it comes to the big wedding day, the groom has one mission.

00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:15.419
 You know what that is?

00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:17.560
 It's to get his bride.

00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:19.779
 That's what the groom has to get.

00:06:19.779 --> 00:06:27.459
 And you'd be surprised how many men have messed up the very few requirements on the wedding day.

00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:30.639
 You have to be there at the right time.

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.899
 You have to show up on the right day.

00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:36.500
 And you have to marry the right bride.

00:06:38.099 --> 00:06:40.639
 Well, the Bible says in Genesis 2,

00:06:41.179 --> 00:06:47.579
 Therefore a man will leave his father and mother and hold fast or cling to his wife,

00:06:47.979 --> 00:06:50.939
 and they shall become one flesh.

00:06:50.939 --> 00:06:54.399
 The picture of a wedding is really mysterious.

00:06:55.620 --> 00:07:00.019
 But this is exactly what John the Baptist said Christ is coming to do.

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.100
 So wedding is really given as a sign.

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:06.839
 It's showing us that there will be a union.

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.819
 Through the flesh of Jesus Christ, God himself who took on flesh,

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:14.620
 he will be made one with his bride.

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:18.819
 We saw last time how, in the words of John the Baptizer,

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.899
 Jesus is the groom from heaven.

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.620
 And this heavenly groom, number one, cares about purity.

00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.519
 Remember, he was baptizing where there were waters,

00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:31.199
 and he was cleansing those who believed by the Spirit.

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.160
 He cares about purity.

00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:35.620
 Number two, he has an identifiable groomsman.

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.860
 And John the Baptizer is one of those groomsmen who points to Christ,

00:07:39.939 --> 00:07:41.699
 who bears witness and stands for him.

00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:45.759
 Number three, the heavenly groom attracts his bride.

00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:48.300
 They heard the sweet voice of the groom,

00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.420
 and all the people were going to Christ.

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:54.699
 Number four, through the work of Christ,

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.019
 there is an exchanging of seals between the son as the groom

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:00.399
 and his church, the bride.

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.719
 Jesus sets his seal upon the believer.

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.279
 It's the Holy Spirit put in you the seal of God on your life.

00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.079
 And then Jesus commands his believers to set your seal to this,

00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:12.439
 that God is true.

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.240
 Well, today we will see now the mission of this heavenly groom.

00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:21.759
 And he gets it perfectly right.

00:08:21.859 --> 00:08:23.180
 He accomplishes his mission.

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.019
 He shows up on the right day at the right time.

00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.860
 And he does get the right bride.

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.819
 However, if we're reading this correctly,

00:08:30.919 --> 00:08:34.919
 we should be shocked at what this reveals to us about his bride.

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:41.439
 His bride, you could say, is the most unlikely bride in the history of humanity.

00:08:42.579 --> 00:08:45.919
 So let's begin by looking at verses 1, 2, and 3

00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.559
 to set our context for today's wedding picture.

00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:57.859
 Verses 1, 2, and 3, we read that this heavenly groom has a mission.

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:01.919
 The Pharisees see that he's getting too much attention,

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.319
 more than John the baptizer even,

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:08.479
 so he's becoming a big threat down in the southern tribes in Judea.

00:09:09.699 --> 00:09:12.759
 And his mission requires now that he leave that area.

00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.340
 And the Holy Spirit will guide him to the right place,

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:17.279
 the right time,

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:19.980
 to meet the one the Father had prepared for him.

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:23.480
 And we're going to see, look at verse 6,

00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.879
 that this meeting will take place between Jesus

00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.659
 and the representative bride

00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:31.120
 at a place of significance.

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.519
 Look at verse 6.

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.639
 We're told that Jacob's well was there.

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.639
 And you'll remember the patriarchs,

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.319
 the promise that to Abraham, to your seed,

00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:42.240
 will come salvation,

00:09:42.439 --> 00:09:44.159
 not just for you, but for all the nations.

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:47.960
 So Abraham's got his eye on his physical seed, Isaac.

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.759
 Well, Isaac, he gets his bride

00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.699
 through God bringing the right bride to the well.

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.100
 And then Jacob, how does he meet his bride for the first time?

00:09:57.500 --> 00:10:01.779
 Jacob meets his wife, his bride, at the well also.

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.120
 So when we're told that Jesus has been traveling,

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.639
 he sits down by this well,

00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:08.399
 we're building anticipation.

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.480
 We should know something good is coming.

00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.259
 In the attachment to Jacob,

00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:15.139
 okay, this is where brides meet their groom.

00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:21.179
 Could it be that the promised seed of Abraham

00:10:21.179 --> 00:10:25.060
 would meet his representative bride at this well?

00:10:25.060 --> 00:10:29.759
 And if so, what type of bride could possibly deserve

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.820
 such a heavenly groom?

00:10:33.060 --> 00:10:34.560
 The world knows this.

00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.419
 The world knows that if you're Prince Ali,

00:10:38.119 --> 00:10:39.039
 glory is he.

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:40.899
 He's going to come in on the parade

00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:44.439
 and there better be a princess worthy of such a prince, right?

00:10:44.699 --> 00:10:46.079
 That's what the world thinks.

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:48.919
 But Jesus shows, look, this heavenly prince,

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.439
 the king of glory himself,

00:10:51.619 --> 00:10:52.619
 takes on flesh.

00:10:53.119 --> 00:10:55.239
 Here's a portrait of his bride.

00:10:56.099 --> 00:10:58.639
 So when we walk through two observations

00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.859
 on this biblical portrait we have

00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:03.600
 of the most unlikely bride.

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.300
 Number one,

00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:09.560
 the bride was from a corrupted line.

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:11.500
 Her bloodline was corrupted.

00:11:12.180 --> 00:11:14.740
 If his was heavenly and he's the promised seed from Abraham,

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.680
 promised seed all the way from Eve

00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:19.960
 that Satan's been trying to destroy at every opportunity,

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.840
 hers could not be more twisted and broken and corrupted.

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:24.780
 Look at verse 7.

00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:29.180
 This woman was from Samaria.

00:11:30.300 --> 00:11:30.740
 Samaria.

00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:35.200
 See, Samaria, that's the land of the ten northern tribes.

00:11:35.899 --> 00:11:37.840
 And you remember how all of Israel,

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:39.820
 the twelve tribes, got taken into exile.

00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:42.120
 But Israel, the first ten tribes,

00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:43.680
 the northern tribes, they fell much sooner.

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.399
 They barely had a shot.

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.700
 When Joshua brought them into the land,

00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:47.780
 they were already intermarrying

00:11:47.780 --> 00:11:50.920
 and taking on the idols of the people that lived there.

00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.799
 They never were devoted to the Lord.

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.860
 And so when the Lord banished them from the land,

00:11:56.459 --> 00:11:58.779
 the Assyrians then took other people groups

00:11:58.779 --> 00:12:00.339
 from other regions that they had conquered.

00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:02.559
 And it was a brilliant military tactic.

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.860
 It was to intermingle them.

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:04.719
 They can't get organized.

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.559
 They can't have any sense of identity.

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:08.819
 And so they sent these other people groups,

00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:10.899
 forced them to move and live in this region

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:12.479
 that's now called Samaria.

00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:15.799
 So now, even after the exile from Assyria,

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:18.480
 when the people come back into the northern tribes,

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.740
 they are intermarrying and the idolatry never stopped.

00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:23.120
 Not for one moment.

00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:25.899
 And the people of the south had tried to help them

00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:28.300
 even build their own temple further north

00:12:28.300 --> 00:12:29.820
 because they didn't like the power struggle

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:32.159
 of having to travel all the way down to Jerusalem.

00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:36.259
 They were so proud and hostile that they refused that help.

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.440
 Civil war broke out at different points

00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.960
 between Samaritans and the rest of the nation of Israel,

00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:44.600
 the Jews, especially in the south closer to Jerusalem.

00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.680
 And Israelites would not even share a vessel.

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.240
 You would never sit down for a meal.

00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.740
 You'd never break bread or use the same utensils or plate

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:55.680
 that a Samaritan has used.

00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:58.779
 They were considered defiled, impure.

00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.560
 And don't you dare intermingle

00:13:01.560 --> 00:13:03.659
 because you'll be going down that slippery slope.

00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:08.420
 That was the caution and the warning in 2 Chronicles 20, 13.

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:16.319
 They had enticed God's people and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom.

00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:19.879
 Look at verse 9.

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.179
 This is so shocking that that's the reaction we get from the Samaritan woman.

00:13:24.819 --> 00:13:25.839
 She said to Jesus,

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.639
 How is it that you, a Jew, ask me for a drink, a woman of Samaria?

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.399
 For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:40.079
 So the portrait of the most unlikely bride is that her bloodline is corrupted.

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:44.980
 Number two, this bride was further corrupted by her own sin.

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:49.799
 So you picture the most defiled region in all of the promised land.

00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:51.600
 That's Samaria, hands down.

00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:53.059
 Easy decision there.

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.480
 And you picture the most corrupted person within Samaria.

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.120
 And it's this woman who shows up to the well.

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.419
 Look at verse 6.

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:03.620
 How do we know so much about her?

00:14:03.620 --> 00:14:05.360
 Verse 6 says,

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:06.940
 What time of day was it?

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.259
 It was about the sixth hour.

00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:17.000
 And the way of counting time is you start counting the first hour is the first hour after the sun comes up.

00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.519
 So the sixth hour puts you right at high noon.

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:22.700
 It's the hottest time of day.

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:28.580
 And it was custom in that time to never go to get water to the well alone.

00:14:28.800 --> 00:14:30.640
 So you read these accounts with Jacob, with Isaac.

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:34.240
 I mean, that's where you could easily have robbers and bullies, you know, take stuff.

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:36.759
 So you'd never send anyone alone to the well.

00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:39.620
 You'd go as a group and much less a woman to go alone.

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:44.080
 And because it's so hot, it's a long trip carrying the heavy weight of the water.

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:49.259
 You would want to be going as a group in the cool of the day, beginning of the day or at the end of the day.

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:56.840
 And here, high noon, hot sun, so hot that Jesus is weary and his disciples are fatigued and hungry.

00:14:57.420 --> 00:14:59.960
 And here comes a woman all alone.

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:03.040
 She's isolated.

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:05.680
 No one wants to be seen with her, associated with her.

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.480
 Now look at verse 15.

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:14.139
 When he first hints that he has something to offer, even a woman like her, look at verse 15.

00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.700
 Her reaction is, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty.

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:26.120
 Or, look at the next few words, or have to come here to draw water.

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:33.139
 It would be enough of a reason to spare me the social shame, having to walk past everyone in the village.

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.659
 Everyone kind of skirts away, pretends like they don't see me, and then they gossip behind my back.

00:15:38.019 --> 00:15:41.500
 I can't stand the social shame anymore.

00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:42.460
 She was sick of it.

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:47.740
 Now Jesus, he does not lower the standard for holiness.

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.759
 He communicates the law of the holy God.

00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:53.860
 Look at verse 18.

00:15:53.860 --> 00:16:01.240
 He's saying, you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband.

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:06.580
 He's not saying that to hurt her feelings.

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:10.779
 He can handle the truth, and he wants her to know that.

00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:16.600
 I mean, your temptation, if you're feeling such social shame, is going to be to put some makeup on,

00:16:16.659 --> 00:16:19.480
 try to present your prettiest version of yourself,

00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:24.300
 to tell your story in such a way that he might be willing to be kind to you.

00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:27.800
 And Jesus says, disclose it all.

00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:28.980
 I know.

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:32.840
 And the guy you've got now, I mean, it sounds like a friend.

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.320
 You know, someone's got a really bad boyfriend or girlfriend,

00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:38.360
 and their true friends are like, you need to stop this, you know.

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:40.920
 This guy's probably the biggest loser of them all.

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.220
 The man you have now is not your husband.

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.879
 And he just gets right to the heart.

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.460
 You know, I know.

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.460
 See, I think this is so significant,

00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.139
 because this Samaritan fornicator,

00:16:57.040 --> 00:17:00.259
 she represents unfaithful Israel.

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:06.059
 And Israel is a picture of the people of God.

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.279
 It's a picture of the church.

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.359
 And until you see yourself as that woman,

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:16.019
 you won't see the heavenliness of the groom.

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:20.359
 The unlikeliness of the bride,

00:17:20.899 --> 00:17:25.160
 it reveals and confirms the heavenliness of the groom.

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:28.079
 This is otherworldly.

00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:33.180
 What a gift we have with this story.

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:38.100
 See, Israel had been unfaithful to their God.

00:17:38.580 --> 00:17:40.519
 Their God took them as slaves in Egypt.

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.220
 He purchased their freedom with mighty acts.

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.980
 He made a covenant with them.

00:17:46.060 --> 00:17:47.700
 We read it every Lord's Day.

00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:49.580
 I will be your God.

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:51.120
 You will be my people.

00:17:51.580 --> 00:17:52.340
 Here's my law.

00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:53.640
 Here's what pleases me.

00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:55.799
 And he gives them the Ten Commandments.

00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.539
 But in Jeremiah, a few generations later,

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.120
 Jeremiah 3, 1 through 3.

00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:05.059
 Now remember, Jeremiah is preaching to Jerusalem now.

00:18:05.219 --> 00:18:07.359
 It's gone horribly wrong in the northern tribes.

00:18:07.479 --> 00:18:09.500
 It's now bad in Jerusalem.

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.239
 Jeremiah was the prophet at the time

00:18:11.239 --> 00:18:13.239
 when Daniel was carried away to Babylon.

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.819
 So it's all going down in the south as well.

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.500
 And here's the word that the Holy Spirit gave Jeremiah.

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:22.979
 And it's a warning to Israel and Judea.

00:18:23.159 --> 00:18:24.879
 If a man's wife goes from him

00:18:24.879 --> 00:18:26.479
 and becomes another man's wife,

00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:28.139
 will he return to her?

00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:31.840
 In other words, the bride turns her back

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:33.900
 on the husband who's loving her,

00:18:34.340 --> 00:18:36.640
 and she wants to have an affair and cheat.

00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:38.540
 You would never expect that husband

00:18:38.540 --> 00:18:41.040
 to have grace and compassion.

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:43.120
 I mean, that would be unexpected.

00:18:44.360 --> 00:18:45.720
 But now look what God says.

00:18:45.800 --> 00:18:48.200
 He says that land would be greatly polluted

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.080
 if that's how families conducted themselves.

00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:52.840
 You, Israel.

00:18:53.040 --> 00:18:53.780
 You, Jerusalem.

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:56.940
 You have played the whore with many lovers.

00:18:57.639 --> 00:19:00.440
 And would you now return to me, declares the Lord?

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:06.960
 See, the bride had corrupted herself even further.

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:08.440
 Her bloodline was corrupted.

00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:09.680
 Her life was corrupted.

00:19:10.139 --> 00:19:12.859
 And that's exactly the picture of Israel.

00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:18.500
 Why do we have here this portrait

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:20.639
 of the most unlikely bride?

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.460
 Well, remember, Jesus got out of Judea

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:25.840
 because of the Pharisees.

00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:27.520
 If they were getting so much attention,

00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:28.940
 they were going to kill him right there.

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.720
 And he had to fulfill the law.

00:19:31.060 --> 00:19:33.840
 He had to show us who he's coming to save.

00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:38.280
 The church is not made up of self-righteous Pharisees.

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.880
 The true church is made up of people

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.420
 who view their soul, their standing before God,

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:46.340
 like the Samaritan woman.

00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:50.519
 And really, if we keep reading Isaiah 65 1,

00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:53.919
 this is exactly how Jesus fulfills this promise.

00:19:54.419 --> 00:19:55.799
 So Isaiah 65 says,

00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.559
 I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me.

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:05.379
 I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.059
 Jesus finds his bride.

00:20:08.159 --> 00:20:09.639
 He goes out and seeks her.

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:12.939
 And if you have encountered Christ in such a way,

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.000
 you know when he gave you a new heart.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.779
 You know how he comes after you still today.

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:21.180
 When you turn to other idols

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:22.980
 and your heart starts wondering,

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:26.900
 he comes after his bride over and over again

00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:28.559
 because he is the heavenly groom.

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.759
 And see, the church also is saved

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:34.480
 out of Adam's corrupt line.

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.500
 At our past Friday Bible study,

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.420
 we were looking in Romans chapter 5

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:40.839
 and verse 18 through 21.

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:43.299
 We read how the trespass of Adam,

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:45.139
 the one man, the representative head.

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:47.460
 Everyone comes from the bloodline of Adam.

00:20:47.899 --> 00:20:51.759
 His trespass led to condemnation for all men.

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:55.379
 And because we are all now under the curse of Adam,

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.440
 because of that one man's disobedience,

00:20:57.879 --> 00:20:59.500
 all were made sinners.

00:20:59.659 --> 00:21:02.599
 So the church is saved out of Adam's corrupted bloodline.

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.459
 Number two, every true Christian

00:21:04.459 --> 00:21:06.819
 is brought under conviction

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:08.459
 of how their own sins

00:21:08.459 --> 00:21:10.579
 have corrupted them even further,

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:12.679
 even more than the corruption

00:21:12.679 --> 00:21:14.179
 that they inherited from Adam.

00:21:15.139 --> 00:21:16.579
 Romans 5.20 says,

00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:21.019
 the law came in to increase the trespasses.

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:23.679
 So we all are born under Adam's sin

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:24.919
 and we have the law of God,

00:21:25.199 --> 00:21:26.099
 you know, our conscience,

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.899
 and in the scripture,

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.319
 it exposes our sin even further.

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.059
 It multiplies our trespasses before God.

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.500
 But here's the promise.

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.019
 As sin reigned in death,

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.720
 grace also can now reign through righteousness,

00:21:43.159 --> 00:21:44.779
 leading to eternal life

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:48.259
 through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

00:21:48.679 --> 00:21:50.779
 And here's what Paul says in Romans 5,

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:53.059
 where sin increased,

00:21:54.220 --> 00:21:57.259
 grace abounded all the more.

00:21:57.259 --> 00:22:01.140
 That's what this story tells us.

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.339
 If sin, if your view of sin is low,

00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.539
 then your view of your need for grace

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:09.160
 is going to be in proportion to that.

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:11.079
 But where the law comes

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:12.319
 and your sin abounds,

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.200
 you're expanding your view of your own sin,

00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:17.319
 you realize how much grace

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:18.680
 you need from the Lord.

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:20.279
 And the more grace you realize

00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:20.980
 you need from the Lord,

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:23.619
 the more glory He gets in your salvation.

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:28.599
 The more unlikely the bride,

00:22:29.399 --> 00:22:32.059
 the more glorious and heavenly is the groom.

00:22:32.879 --> 00:22:34.839
 That's the promise we have in Christ.

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:37.879
 And that's why we can sing the song,

00:22:38.699 --> 00:22:39.799
 Come, O sinner,

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:42.099
 come rejoice.

00:22:42.939 --> 00:22:46.259
 Mercy fills this place of scorn.

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:49.599
 That well and that trip through the village

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.700
 at high noon was a trip of scorn for the woman.

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.480
 But Christ died to save His enemies,

00:22:56.980 --> 00:23:00.279
 that all, all, all from Samaria,

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.519
 all those who have committed the worst sins

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.660
 in the most public way,

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.460
 that all may draw near to Christ

00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:10.220
 and know His peace.

00:23:11.180 --> 00:23:12.220
 So that's our portrait

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:14.440
 of the most unlikely bride.

00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:17.559
 And I feel like I could just stop right now.

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:19.000
 But I also want to show you

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.100
 how in this same story,

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:22.559
 we have the groom's mission.

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:24.640
 I mean, this is the mission,

00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:26.160
 but it's also a foreshadowing

00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:27.319
 of His greater mission.

00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:29.140
 Just like I believe this woman of Samaria

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:31.819
 is a representative of the church.

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:34.259
 What is the greater mission of Christ

00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:35.519
 and how is it foreshadowed

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.720
 in this beautiful encounter?

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:38.740
 So I want to show you,

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:40.660
 I know you're supposed to only have three main points,

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:41.440
 but I got five

00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:42.839
 because that's how many are in the passage.

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.759
 I couldn't cut it down.

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.740
 So five, five ways in which the mission

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:48.160
 of the groom is foreshadowed

00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:49.000
 in the same passage.

00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:50.339
 Let's read through it one more time

00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:51.720
 with that lens now.

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:52.779
 Number one,

00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:56.559
 Christ left His Father's throne

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.279
 to get His bride.

00:23:58.940 --> 00:23:59.880
 Look at verse four.

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:01.779
 We read in verse four

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:04.920
 that Jesus underlined those, those words.

00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:05.960
 He had.

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:09.620
 He had to pass through Samaria.

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:12.539
 The person of Jesus Christ

00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:14.059
 in the flesh,

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:16.059
 filled with the Holy Spirit.

00:24:16.600 --> 00:24:18.779
 He was under divine compulsion

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:21.220
 to go exactly where the Lord,

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:23.059
 His Father was sending Him

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:24.220
 to accomplish the will

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:25.700
 and the mission of the Lord.

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.000
 And that's where God would reveal to him

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.940
 a type or a picture of His bride.

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:33.259
 See, in Genesis 29, 10,

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:36.700
 Jacob, we're told Jacob left his father's land

00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:40.039
 and traveled to meet his bride at a well.

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:42.400
 And now the greater Jacob,

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.940
 the greater Israel,

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.400
 the greater Son of God,

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:47.660
 left his father's heavenly kingdom

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:50.220
 and traveled to earth

00:24:50.220 --> 00:24:52.339
 and to the promised land

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:53.519
 and to Samaria

00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:54.960
 and to that well

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.980
 to meet his representative bride.

00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.279
 Look at verse seven.

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:02.779
 A woman from Samaria

00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:03.899
 came to draw water

00:25:03.899 --> 00:25:06.399
 and Jesus said to her,

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:08.399
 Give me a drink.

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:13.019
 Women could not bear witness in a court.

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:16.740
 They were considered almost subhuman,

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:19.619
 and especially a woman with her reputation.

00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:22.299
 And knowing that Jews would not share a meal

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:24.299
 or let the same utensil that one had used

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:26.220
 be used even after it had been washed,

00:25:26.660 --> 00:25:27.920
 He wants to talk to her.

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:29.340
 He's seated.

00:25:29.460 --> 00:25:30.300
 He wants to greet her

00:25:30.300 --> 00:25:31.680
 and show her kindness.

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:34.080
 And He wants to drink

00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:36.500
 and let that vessel touch His lips

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:37.960
 that she drinks from as well.

00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:40.960
 Her uncleanness can't contaminate Him.

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:44.680
 And you can just picture His eyes

00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:46.440
 and His smile.

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:48.960
 He came to reveal the kindness

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:50.539
 and the love of the Father.

00:25:52.080 --> 00:25:55.300
 He would never treat her as a dirty reject.

00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:57.680
 And the Samaritan woman,

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.419
 understandably,

00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:01.000
 can't even believe what's going on.

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.159
 She says,

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.019
 How is this?

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:05.240
 But in her loneliness,

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:07.119
 when no one else would walk with her

00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.339
 or even be seen with her,

00:26:09.919 --> 00:26:11.480
 Jesus showed her love.

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:13.839
 Number two,

00:26:15.339 --> 00:26:16.379
 our Lord Jesus Christ

00:26:16.379 --> 00:26:18.359
 causes this unlikely bride

00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:19.299
 to desire

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:22.839
 what only He can give her.

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.179
 He causes her to desire that thing.

00:26:27.639 --> 00:26:29.220
 So she cannot know

00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:31.240
 the truth of God

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:33.240
 unless the Messiah reveals it.

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:34.119
 And she knows that.

00:26:34.659 --> 00:26:35.299
 Look at verse 10.

00:26:35.379 --> 00:26:36.079
 Jesus says,

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.099
 If you knew the gift of God,

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:39.759
 in other words,

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:40.519
 you don't know

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.799
 and you can't know

00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:42.980
 the gift of God

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:44.919
 unless God reveals this to you.

00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:46.079
 But if you knew,

00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:47.500
 and what is the gift

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:48.480
 that He's referring to?

00:26:49.659 --> 00:26:50.919
 He is the gift.

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:52.759
 He who it is

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.720
 that is saying to you,

00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:54.539
 give me a drink.

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:55.860
 If you knew who I am,

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:57.820
 you would have asked me

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:59.320
 and I would have given you

00:26:59.320 --> 00:27:01.039
 living water.

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:03.820
 Okay, so living water

00:27:03.820 --> 00:27:05.120
 is significant as well.

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.700
 The geography of Israel,

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:10.920
 according to what I've studied

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.360
 and learned,

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.080
 I would love for us

00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:13.140
 to maybe go there someday

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:14.300
 all together in person.

00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:15.039
 Wouldn't that be amazing?

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:16.840
 But it's really similar to Colorado.

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:18.340
 And so there are parts

00:27:18.340 --> 00:27:19.240
 where you'll see, you know,

00:27:19.340 --> 00:27:20.039
 trees growing up

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.740
 around the water,

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:22.119
 but there are other parts

00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:22.680
 that are desert

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:23.480
 and it's arid.

00:27:23.819 --> 00:27:25.000
 So you have like a cluster

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.079
 of trees and shade

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:27.180
 and nice air and abundance

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:28.720
 and springs and, you know,

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.680
 and then you go to other places

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.759
 and you're just in the wilderness.

00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.259
 That's how Israel is.

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.920
 And so the fact

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.899
 that they're having to travel

00:27:34.899 --> 00:27:35.539
 quite a ways

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.579
 to come to a well,

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:37.720
 to take the water,

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:38.599
 carry it back,

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.500
 this shows we're

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.779
 in a more arid place.

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.000
 Now,

00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:43.879
 May has been to Israel

00:27:43.879 --> 00:27:44.740
 three times

00:27:44.740 --> 00:27:45.500
 and she said

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:46.599
 that in Jerusalem,

00:27:46.779 --> 00:27:47.480
 old Jerusalem,

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:50.400
 they've excavated

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:51.140
 and discovered

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:52.440
 a well

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:53.660
 that is

00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:55.500
 living water.

00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:56.700
 And what that means

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.160
 is that

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:58.319
 deep down

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:59.380
 in old Jerusalem,

00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.640
 King David,

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:01.059
 you know,

00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:01.700
 when he took over

00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:03.039
 this Jebusite fort,

00:28:03.299 --> 00:28:04.620
 this fortified

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:05.339
 walled city,

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:06.579
 down below

00:28:06.579 --> 00:28:08.099
 is a spring.

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:09.519
 So if it got surrounded

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.299
 on the outside

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:11.319
 in a siege,

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.880
 they would never

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.680
 run out of water.

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.759
 And they said

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.640
 she got to see it

00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.519
 and down below

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.960
 it's gushing forth.

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.080
 So you come out

00:28:18.080 --> 00:28:19.000
 of these desert areas

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:20.180
 but in Jerusalem

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:21.420
 from where

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:22.340
 the Messiah

00:28:22.340 --> 00:28:23.080
 and the priest,

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.539
 from where that will rule,

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:25.880
 comes these gushing

00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:26.940
 living waters.

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.140
 Remember,

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:29.340
 Jesus just traveled up

00:28:29.340 --> 00:28:30.080
 from Judea

00:28:30.080 --> 00:28:30.920
 and it's like

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:31.600
 he's bringing

00:28:31.600 --> 00:28:32.360
 that imagery

00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:33.660
 that's in his mind.

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:34.160
 Remember,

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:34.680
 on his way

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:35.720
 he was baptizing

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.440
 where there was

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.759
 an abundance of waters

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.160
 and the spirits working

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.900
 and Jesus wasn't

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.680
 even the one doing it,

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:41.539
 it was the disciples

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:42.660
 baptizing.

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:44.240
 Because the power

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.820
 of God

00:28:44.820 --> 00:28:45.519
 is flowing

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.299
 through Jesus

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:47.420
 and he's calling

00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:48.360
 people to repentance

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:49.460
 and that power

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:50.060
 of the Holy Spirit

00:28:50.060 --> 00:28:50.700
 is working

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:51.980
 and that's the image

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:52.940
 of living waters.

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:54.600
 It's fulfilled

00:28:54.600 --> 00:28:55.340
 in Jerusalem,

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:56.060
 you know,

00:28:56.120 --> 00:28:56.519
 the picture

00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:57.220
 of the throne

00:28:57.220 --> 00:28:57.779
 of God

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.680
 where the office

00:28:58.680 --> 00:28:59.500
 of priest and king

00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:00.340
 is joined together

00:29:00.340 --> 00:29:01.500
 in one person,

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:02.799
 the seed of David

00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:03.920
 and now Jesus

00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:04.560
 is bringing

00:29:04.560 --> 00:29:05.480
 these living waters

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:06.920
 to the dry area

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.880
 in Samaria.

00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:09.580
 You only have

00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:10.200
 three options

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.700
 for water.

00:29:10.840 --> 00:29:11.779
 One is a well

00:29:11.779 --> 00:29:13.299
 and that's like

00:29:13.299 --> 00:29:14.119
 pulling water up

00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:14.539
 from the dirt

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:15.639
 but it's stagnant water,

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:16.259
 it's sitting there.

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:17.879
 The other is even worse.

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:19.480
 We have no hope of water,

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:20.539
 you're going to basically

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:21.759
 try to collect water.

00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:22.720
 Anywhere that it rains,

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.480
 you're going to collect it

00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:24.839
 onto a little pool

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:26.119
 but it gets stale quick.

00:29:26.339 --> 00:29:27.539
 It's way worse quality

00:29:27.539 --> 00:29:28.160
 than a well.

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:30.099
 So he's telling her,

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:31.059
 don't worry,

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:32.119
 it's not going to get worse,

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:32.799
 it's going to be

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:34.119
 living waters

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:35.359
 for you.

00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:37.539
 Now you picture,

00:29:37.939 --> 00:29:38.779
 you hear these words,

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.439
 it's moving,

00:29:39.899 --> 00:29:40.719
 it's living,

00:29:41.419 --> 00:29:42.859
 it's energizing,

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.839
 it's life-giving.

00:29:43.939 --> 00:29:44.519
 That's the image

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.359
 of living waters

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:46.259
 springing up.

00:29:47.379 --> 00:29:48.079
 I couldn't help

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:48.679
 but think of how

00:29:48.679 --> 00:29:49.559
 the Word of God

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:50.759
 has those same descriptions.

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:51.719
 The Word of God

00:29:51.719 --> 00:29:52.379
 is living,

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:53.559
 it's active

00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.259
 and it brings life.

00:29:55.539 --> 00:29:56.799
 It does not return void.

00:29:56.959 --> 00:29:58.619
 It flows over the desert

00:29:58.619 --> 00:30:00.119
 and new life springs up

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.559
 and there's a great abundance

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:02.379
 and harvest.

00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:05.019
 Now look at verse 14.

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:07.359
 Whoever drinks of the water

00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:08.319
 that I will give him

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.000
 will never thirst again.

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:11.839
 The water that I will give him

00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:12.719
 will soon become

00:30:12.719 --> 00:30:14.079
 in him

00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.240
 spring of water

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:17.459
 welling up

00:30:17.459 --> 00:30:19.599
 to eternal life.

00:30:19.919 --> 00:30:20.299
 Do you remember

00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:21.219
 when Jesus first used

00:30:21.219 --> 00:30:22.399
 the phrase eternal life?

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:23.719
 And it translated

00:30:23.719 --> 00:30:24.279
 from the Greek

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:24.899
 it really means

00:30:24.899 --> 00:30:25.859
 you're going to have now

00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:28.000
 the life that belongs

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.059
 to the age to come.

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:31.219
 It's the life of the age to come

00:30:31.219 --> 00:30:33.139
 now put inside of you.

00:30:33.659 --> 00:30:35.000
 That's how he's describing

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:36.859
 the work of the Holy Spirit.

00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.680
 But remember Christ

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:39.539
 had to cause

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:40.660
 this unlikely bride

00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:41.839
 to desire

00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:42.619
 that which only

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:43.299
 he could give.

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.900
 He said if you only knew.

00:30:45.180 --> 00:30:45.859
 She couldn't know.

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:48.460
 She was thirsty

00:30:48.460 --> 00:30:49.339
 in her soul

00:30:49.339 --> 00:30:51.000
 but she had been

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:51.700
 trying to fill

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:52.359
 that thirst

00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:53.119
 of her soul

00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:54.839
 with all kinds

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:56.180
 of different things

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:57.099
 with man

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:57.880
 after man

00:30:57.880 --> 00:30:58.940
 and none of those men

00:30:58.940 --> 00:30:59.819
 could satisfy.

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:02.200
 And that's the prayer

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.660
 we pray.

00:31:02.660 --> 00:31:03.560
 You have loved ones

00:31:03.560 --> 00:31:04.480
 that don't know the Lord

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:05.440
 you need to pray

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:06.360
 that God will give them

00:31:06.360 --> 00:31:07.140
 a desire

00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:08.060
 for the thing

00:31:08.060 --> 00:31:09.200
 that only he can give

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:10.360
 which is the spirit

00:31:10.360 --> 00:31:11.360
 inside of them.

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:13.240
 Cambridge Declaration

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.040
 on the Doctrines of Grace

00:31:15.040 --> 00:31:16.820
 states what the Bible

00:31:16.820 --> 00:31:17.720
 teaches this way.

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.019
 Human beings

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:20.220
 are born

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:21.440
 spiritually dead.

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.480
 That's the curse of Adam.

00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:24.840
 And they are incapable

00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:26.720
 even of cooperating

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:28.519
 with regenerating grace.

00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:31.599
 It's Ephesians chapter 2.

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.099
 You are dead

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:34.240
 until the spirit

00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:35.180
 breathes life in you.

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:35.799
 That's what Jesus

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:36.639
 told Nicodemus

00:31:36.639 --> 00:31:37.639
 you must be born again.

00:31:38.220 --> 00:31:39.480
 You must be regenerated.

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:41.000
 And Christ had to make her

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.259
 realize that there was

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.480
 a deeper thirst

00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:44.359
 in her soul.

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:46.000
 A thirst for God.

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:47.519
 And that's exactly

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:48.599
 what she has in mind.

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.660
 She responds by saying

00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:50.279
 well should we worship

00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:50.980
 on this mountain

00:31:50.980 --> 00:31:51.599
 that you guys

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.359
 didn't help us build

00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:52.799
 or should we go

00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:53.599
 all the way to Jerusalem?

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:54.720
 She's bringing up

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:55.259
 their political

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:56.319
 their religious

00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.319
 their cultural stuff.

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:58.740
 And Jesus knows

00:31:58.740 --> 00:31:59.579
 okay her heart

00:31:59.579 --> 00:32:00.559
 her heart is thirsty

00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:01.179
 for God.

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:02.659
 Because worship

00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:03.960
 is really about communion.

00:32:04.879 --> 00:32:06.240
 And her own people

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.200
 have rejected her.

00:32:07.899 --> 00:32:08.500
 And I'm going to

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.200
 promise her now

00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:10.119
 that she can have

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:10.759
 communion.

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:12.240
 She can have acceptance

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:13.899
 with God himself.

00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:15.799
 Through Christ

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.740
 her soul's true longing

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:19.399
 that he awakened in her

00:32:19.399 --> 00:32:20.720
 would be satisfied.

00:32:21.899 --> 00:32:22.899
 And if you remember

00:32:22.899 --> 00:32:23.980
 the end of chapter 3

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:25.379
 John the baptizer

00:32:25.379 --> 00:32:26.139
 I think he's setting

00:32:26.139 --> 00:32:26.899
 the stage for this

00:32:26.900 --> 00:32:27.320
 encounter.

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.960
 And he said

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:30.480
 that Jesus will give

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.340
 the spirit without measure.

00:32:32.800 --> 00:32:33.340
 It's like how do you

00:32:33.340 --> 00:32:34.440
 even quantify how much

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.160
 water is available

00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:36.060
 from a spring?

00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:37.400
 It never stops.

00:32:37.840 --> 00:32:39.300
 It never stops bubbling up.

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:40.240
 It's the spirit

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:40.980
 is the same way.

00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:41.900
 It's without measure.

00:32:42.280 --> 00:32:43.120
 It's in abundance.

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.840
 And God will

00:32:44.840 --> 00:32:46.640
 well up in your soul

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:48.600
 a spring of living water

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.800
 of the life of the age

00:32:49.800 --> 00:32:50.320
 to come

00:32:50.320 --> 00:32:52.420
 once he has caused you

00:32:52.420 --> 00:32:53.380
 to desire it

00:32:53.380 --> 00:32:55.019
 which only he can do.

00:32:55.280 --> 00:32:56.259
 And ask him for that.

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:58.059
 Number three

00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:59.200
 Christ makes the

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.019
 impossible wedding

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:02.319
 come true.

00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:05.539
 I don't know

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:06.259
 that this woman

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:06.720
 of Samaria

00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.259
 would have ever

00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:07.879
 dreamed

00:33:07.879 --> 00:33:09.039
 that she could be

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.879
 part of the church

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:10.980
 of the Messiah.

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:12.119
 She could be

00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:12.759
 the bride.

00:33:13.460 --> 00:33:14.379
 She could belong

00:33:14.379 --> 00:33:15.200
 to this kingdom.

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:16.539
 But if she was

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:17.200
 in middle school

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.960
 and had a crush

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:18.279
 I mean

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:19.180
 it would be like

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:20.920
 the most impossible

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:21.779
 wedding

00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:22.319
 she could have

00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:22.960
 dreamed of.

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:24.660
 look at verse 21

00:33:24.660 --> 00:33:27.380
 Jesus tells her

00:33:27.380 --> 00:33:27.819
 you

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:28.840
 yes you

00:33:28.840 --> 00:33:29.799
 Samaritan woman

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:31.299
 the most unlikely

00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:32.120
 of them all

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:33.039
 you will worship

00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:34.140
 the father.

00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:36.579
 He's hinting

00:33:36.579 --> 00:33:37.500
 and he's foreshadowing

00:33:37.500 --> 00:33:38.380
 how because of his

00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:39.240
 life and work

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:40.220
 for her

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:41.620
 look at verse 22

00:33:41.620 --> 00:33:43.319
 through him

00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:44.160
 salvation

00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:45.620
 it is from the Jews

00:33:45.620 --> 00:33:46.920
 he will fulfill

00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:47.340
 the law

00:33:47.340 --> 00:33:48.779
 given to the Jews

00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:49.799
 but it won't

00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:50.819
 stop with the Jews

00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:51.619
 it will be fulfilled

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:52.119
 in him

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:53.240
 the promised son

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.720
 of David

00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:54.879
 the king of Judah

00:33:54.879 --> 00:33:55.799
 who will unite

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.639
 all Israel

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:57.919
 all 12 tribes

00:33:57.919 --> 00:33:58.480
 once again

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:59.839
 and he will call

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:00.599
 into that number

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:01.500
 all the Gentiles

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:02.279
 all the nations

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:02.799
 of the world

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:03.720
 like he promised

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:04.639
 to do to Abraham

00:34:04.639 --> 00:34:05.539
 and all the way

00:34:05.539 --> 00:34:06.779
 back with Eve.

00:34:08.319 --> 00:34:09.420
 Verse 23

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:10.380
 the hour

00:34:10.380 --> 00:34:11.900
 is now here

00:34:11.900 --> 00:34:13.400
 it's here

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.219
 it's not

00:34:15.219 --> 00:34:16.119
 something you need

00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:17.159
 to only long for

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.920
 you can experience

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.480
 this now

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:19.360
 it's here for you

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:20.699
 true worshipers

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:21.379
 will worship

00:34:21.379 --> 00:34:21.960
 the father

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:23.000
 in spirit

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.739
 and truth

00:34:23.739 --> 00:34:24.919
 for the father

00:34:24.919 --> 00:34:25.859
 is seeking

00:34:25.859 --> 00:34:26.519
 such people

00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:27.139
 to worship

00:34:27.139 --> 00:34:27.939
 him

00:34:27.939 --> 00:34:29.699
 verse 24

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:31.199
 God is spirit

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:32.219
 and those who

00:34:32.219 --> 00:34:32.779
 worship him

00:34:32.779 --> 00:34:33.619
 must worship

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:34.839
 in spirit

00:34:34.839 --> 00:34:36.379
 and in truth

00:34:36.379 --> 00:34:38.139
 all of the

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:38.719
 Samaritan woman

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.299
 all of her reactions

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:41.079
 up to this point

00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:41.559
 have been

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.199
 maybe sarcastic

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:43.619
 you know

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:44.339
 pushing it off

00:34:44.339 --> 00:34:45.279
 changing the subject

00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:46.960
 she's tough

00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:47.799
 she does not

00:34:47.799 --> 00:34:48.919
 know about all this

00:34:48.919 --> 00:34:49.819
 and what he just

00:34:49.819 --> 00:34:50.219
 said here

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:51.500
 that God

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:52.159
 is spirit

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:52.919
 and true

00:34:52.919 --> 00:34:53.319
 worshipers

00:34:53.319 --> 00:34:53.699
 will worship

00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:54.239
 in spirit

00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:54.859
 and in truth

00:34:54.859 --> 00:34:56.239
 this is beyond

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:56.919
 comprehension

00:34:56.919 --> 00:34:58.339
 I think she'll be

00:34:58.339 --> 00:34:59.179
 speechless by this

00:34:59.179 --> 00:34:59.480
 point

00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:00.599
 and what he's

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:01.419
 about to tell her

00:35:01.419 --> 00:35:02.099
 next is really

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.619
 the climax

00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:03.279
 of this whole

00:35:03.279 --> 00:35:03.799
 passage

00:35:03.799 --> 00:35:06.839
 verse 25

00:35:06.839 --> 00:35:07.419
 she says

00:35:07.419 --> 00:35:08.079
 the Messiah

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:09.199
 who is called

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:09.679
 Christ

00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:10.799
 she knows

00:35:10.799 --> 00:35:11.459
 he's the one

00:35:11.459 --> 00:35:11.879
 the only one

00:35:11.879 --> 00:35:12.579
 who could unveil

00:35:12.579 --> 00:35:13.259
 these mysteries

00:35:13.259 --> 00:35:13.639
 that you're

00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:14.379
 talking about

00:35:14.379 --> 00:35:15.619
 and who is

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:16.119
 the promised

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:16.639
 Messiah

00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:17.219
 who is the

00:35:17.219 --> 00:35:17.480
 Christ

00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:17.980
 look at verse

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:18.380
 26

00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:18.880
 here's the

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:19.199
 peak

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.079
 the whole

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:20.300
 peak

00:35:20.300 --> 00:35:20.599
 of this

00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:21.179
 discourse

00:35:21.179 --> 00:35:22.679
 Jesus said

00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:23.780
 I who speak

00:35:23.780 --> 00:35:24.280
 to you

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:25.199
 am he

00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:26.800
 in the Greek

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:27.460
 the order of

00:35:27.460 --> 00:35:27.880
 these words

00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:28.619
 is like this

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:30.240
 Jesus said

00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:32.219
 I am

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:34.980
 who is speaking

00:35:34.980 --> 00:35:35.659
 to you

00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:39.420
 in verse 27

00:35:39.420 --> 00:35:40.380
 right then

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:41.039
 the disciples

00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.639
 show up

00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:42.380
 you see how

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:42.780
 it brings you

00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:43.380
 to that climate

00:35:43.380 --> 00:35:43.960
 and she's

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:44.579
 it's above

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:45.199
 comprehension

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:45.919
 it's the spirit

00:35:45.919 --> 00:35:46.759
 working in a way

00:35:46.759 --> 00:35:47.359
 in her soul

00:35:47.359 --> 00:35:48.500
 and it's the hunger

00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:49.019
 and the thirst

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:49.659
 of her soul

00:35:49.659 --> 00:35:51.179
 there's no more

00:35:51.179 --> 00:35:52.699
 words for it

00:35:52.699 --> 00:35:55.539
 number four

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:56.559
 because of his

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:57.359
 sacrifice

00:35:57.359 --> 00:35:59.119
 Jesus Christ

00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:00.000
 the heavenly groom

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:01.299
 gets his bride

00:36:01.299 --> 00:36:03.119
 see how it's

00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:03.839
 the sacrifice

00:36:03.839 --> 00:36:04.839
 of the groom

00:36:04.839 --> 00:36:06.439
 that gets him

00:36:06.439 --> 00:36:07.000
 his bride

00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:08.079
 and how is that

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:08.980
 foreshadowed here

00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:10.919
 well in this story

00:36:10.919 --> 00:36:12.579
 it's at his

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:13.399
 weakest point

00:36:13.399 --> 00:36:14.139
 according to his

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:14.759
 human nature

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:15.780
 in his weakness

00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:18.260
 he is powerfully

00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:19.480
 working spiritually

00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:20.720
 so when

00:36:20.720 --> 00:36:21.440
 Jesus Christ

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.360
 one person

00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:23.940
 according to his

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:24.760
 divine nature

00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:25.260
 is working

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:26.040
 powerfully

00:36:26.040 --> 00:36:27.320
 he's regenerating

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.960
 he's causing

00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:28.780
 her eyes to be

00:36:28.780 --> 00:36:29.020
 open

00:36:29.020 --> 00:36:29.580
 he's meeting

00:36:29.580 --> 00:36:30.080
 the longing

00:36:30.080 --> 00:36:30.700
 of her soul

00:36:30.700 --> 00:36:31.740
 spiritually

00:36:31.740 --> 00:36:32.420
 according to his

00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:32.980
 divine nature

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:33.980
 he's saving

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:34.560
 this woman

00:36:34.560 --> 00:36:35.840
 now according

00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:36.680
 to his physical

00:36:36.680 --> 00:36:37.120
 nature

00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:38.340
 he's weak

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:40.240
 fully God

00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:41.120
 fully human

00:36:41.120 --> 00:36:41.920
 I want to show

00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:43.060
 you how Christ's

00:36:43.060 --> 00:36:44.280
 sacrificial weakness

00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:45.600
 is foreshadowed

00:36:45.600 --> 00:36:45.840
 here

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:46.800
 in his human

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:47.060
 nature

00:36:47.060 --> 00:36:48.260
 look at verse 27

00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:52.680
 I am

00:36:52.680 --> 00:36:53.840
 who speaks

00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:54.260
 to you

00:36:54.260 --> 00:36:55.280
 just then

00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:55.980
 his disciples

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:56.800
 came back

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.380
 and they marveled

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:58.940
 that he was

00:36:58.940 --> 00:36:59.720
 talking with a

00:36:59.720 --> 00:37:00.019
 woman

00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:01.260
 this is so

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:01.860
 unlikely

00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:03.760
 but no one

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.660
 said anything

00:37:04.660 --> 00:37:06.380
 so maybe

00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:07.360
 they read the

00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:08.140
 moment as well

00:37:08.140 --> 00:37:09.740
 something powerful

00:37:09.740 --> 00:37:10.400
 just happened

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:10.960
 spiritually

00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:12.159
 Christ revealed

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:12.840
 who he is

00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:13.659
 to her

00:37:13.659 --> 00:37:14.860
 they don't

00:37:14.860 --> 00:37:15.559
 say anything

00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:18.360
 verse 6

00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:18.820
 we told

00:37:18.820 --> 00:37:19.260
 way back

00:37:19.260 --> 00:37:19.880
 in verse 6

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:20.280
 we're told

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.000
 that Jesus

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.679
 wearied as he

00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:23.579
 was from his

00:37:23.579 --> 00:37:24.039
 journey

00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:25.440
 was sitting

00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.900
 beside the

00:37:26.900 --> 00:37:27.159
 well

00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:28.340
 and it was

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:28.880
 about the

00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:29.380
 sixth hour

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:29.860
 so he's been

00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:30.280
 traveling

00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:31.159
 it's very hot

00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:32.380
 he is thirsty

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:32.960
 the disciples

00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:33.440
 are hungry

00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:33.960
 and thirsty

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:36.059
 we never read

00:37:36.059 --> 00:37:36.579
 here that she

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.400
 gave him water

00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.240
 in fact it says

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:38.780
 she just left

00:37:38.780 --> 00:37:39.179
 her jar

00:37:39.179 --> 00:37:40.000
 and ran back

00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:40.679
 to her village

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:42.019
 and the

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:42.519
 disciples

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:44.940
 says look

00:37:44.940 --> 00:37:45.539
 at verse 8

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.099
 they had gone

00:37:46.099 --> 00:37:46.659
 into the city

00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:47.480
 to buy food

00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:48.379
 and now look

00:37:48.379 --> 00:37:49.239
 at verse 31

00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:50.460
 the disciples

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:51.179
 were urging

00:37:51.179 --> 00:37:51.539
 him

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:52.419
 urging him

00:37:52.419 --> 00:37:52.899
 come on

00:37:52.899 --> 00:37:54.019
 rabbi

00:37:54.019 --> 00:37:54.440
 teacher

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:54.879
 eat

00:37:54.879 --> 00:37:55.899
 look at verse

00:37:55.899 --> 00:37:56.259
 32

00:37:56.259 --> 00:37:56.739
 they said

00:37:56.739 --> 00:37:57.539
 he said

00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:58.079
 to them

00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:59.279
 I have

00:37:59.279 --> 00:38:00.059
 food to eat

00:38:00.059 --> 00:38:00.500
 that you

00:38:00.500 --> 00:38:01.119
 do not

00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:01.859
 know

00:38:01.859 --> 00:38:02.739
 about

00:38:02.739 --> 00:38:04.000
 see how

00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:04.539
 physically

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.039
 he's not

00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:05.619
 getting water

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:06.079
 even though

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:06.599
 he's thirsty

00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:07.339
 he's not

00:38:07.339 --> 00:38:08.000
 taking food

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:08.440
 even though

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:09.179
 physically

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:09.860
 he's hungry

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:12.079
 when Christ

00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:12.760
 was most

00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:13.340
 weak

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:14.119
 physically

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:15.300
 he was

00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:15.659
 working

00:38:15.659 --> 00:38:16.099
 most

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:17.059
 mightily

00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:18.420
 spiritually

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:20.420
 reminds me

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:21.039
 of the hymn

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.280
 see from

00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:24.000
 his head

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.720
 his hands

00:38:26.720 --> 00:38:28.980
 his feet

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:31.539
 sorrow

00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:33.820
 and love

00:38:33.820 --> 00:38:35.420
 flow

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:36.260
 mingled

00:38:36.260 --> 00:38:36.900
 down

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:39.220
 did

00:38:39.220 --> 00:38:39.619
 air

00:38:39.619 --> 00:38:40.039
 such

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.660
 love

00:38:40.660 --> 00:38:41.619
 and sorrow

00:38:41.619 --> 00:38:42.119
 meet

00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:43.360
 or

00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:43.920
 thorns

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:44.680
 compose

00:38:44.680 --> 00:38:45.660
 so rich

00:38:45.660 --> 00:38:46.320
 a crown

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:50.460
 but Christ

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:51.320
 was satisfied

00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:52.079
 spiritually

00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.000
 he was

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:54.940
 fed

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:56.760
 in his

00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:57.079
 soul

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:58.320
 he was

00:38:58.320 --> 00:38:58.800
 filled

00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.320
 he was

00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:00.920
 strengthened

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:02.220
 enlivened

00:39:02.220 --> 00:39:03.280
 pumped up

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:04.620
 he's

00:39:04.620 --> 00:39:05.080
 the groom

00:39:05.080 --> 00:39:05.300
 who's

00:39:05.300 --> 00:39:05.519
 getting

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:05.800
 his

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:06.220
 bride

00:39:06.220 --> 00:39:07.840
 and he

00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:08.400
 looks up

00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:08.800
 to

00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:09.200
 Samaria

00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:09.440
 and he

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:09.600
 says

00:39:09.600 --> 00:39:09.860
 there's

00:39:09.860 --> 00:39:10.180
 more

00:39:10.180 --> 00:39:11.780
 that's

00:39:11.780 --> 00:39:11.980
 what's

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:12.200
 feeding

00:39:12.200 --> 00:39:12.500
 his

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:12.820
 soul

00:39:12.820 --> 00:39:15.700
 verse

00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:16.160
 34

00:39:16.160 --> 00:39:16.500
 Jesus

00:39:16.500 --> 00:39:16.920
 says

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.340
 my

00:39:17.340 --> 00:39:18.120
 food

00:39:18.120 --> 00:39:19.519
 is to

00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:19.740
 do

00:39:19.740 --> 00:39:20.000
 the

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:20.360
 will

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:21.040
 of

00:39:21.040 --> 00:39:21.440
 him

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:21.940
 who

00:39:21.940 --> 00:39:22.340
 sent

00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:22.600
 me

00:39:22.600 --> 00:39:23.980
 and

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.640

00:39:26.540 --> 00:39:28.340
 this

00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:28.700
 is so

00:39:28.700 --> 00:39:29.200
 important

00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:30.160
 Christ

00:39:30.160 --> 00:39:30.440
 did

00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:30.740
 not

00:39:30.740 --> 00:39:31.300
 die

00:39:31.300 --> 00:39:31.800

00:46:15.939 --> 00:46:16.399

 never

00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:17.039
 become

00:46:19.179 --> 00:46:19.559
 our life

00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:19.819
 should

00:46:19.819 --> 00:46:20.819
 overflow

00:46:20.819 --> 00:46:21.219
 it should

00:46:21.219 --> 00:46:21.739
 abound

00:46:21.739 --> 00:46:22.819
 and that's

00:46:22.819 --> 00:46:23.059
 what it

00:46:23.059 --> 00:46:23.419
 looks like

00:46:23.419 --> 00:46:23.699
 when we

00:46:23.699 --> 00:46:24.119

00:46:24.659 --> 00:46:25.000
 with what

 God's

00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:25.400

 can pray

00:46:28.420 --> 00:46:29.400
 like the

00:47:06.359 --> 00:47:06.579
 out

00:47:06.579 --> 00:47:07.559
 you spill

00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:07.819
 over

00:47:07.819 --> 00:47:08.599
 into Judea

00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:09.019
 all the

00:47:09.019 --> 00:47:09.279
 southern

00:47:09.279 --> 00:47:09.719
 tribes

00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:11.379
 you don't

00:47:11.379 --> 00:47:11.779
 skip

00:47:11.779 --> 00:47:12.739
 Samaria

00:47:12.739 --> 00:47:14.179
 you go

00:47:14.179 --> 00:47:14.819
 to Samaria

00:47:14.819 --> 00:47:16.119
 and I'm

00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:16.839
 preparing them

00:47:16.839 --> 00:47:17.219
 they'll be

00:47:17.219 --> 00:47:17.619
 part of the

00:47:17.619 --> 00:47:18.139
 great harvest

00:47:18.139 --> 00:47:18.779
 and then from

00:47:18.779 --> 00:47:19.299
 Samaria

00:47:19.299 --> 00:47:20.079
 you go to

00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:20.359
 the ends

00:47:20.359 --> 00:47:20.579
 of the

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:20.859
 world

00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:21.980
 and as

00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:22.539
 Jesus said

00:47:22.539 --> 00:47:23.019
 that he

00:47:23.019 --> 00:47:23.699
 ascended

00:47:23.699 --> 00:47:24.079
 to his

00:47:24.079 --> 00:47:24.500
 father's

00:47:24.500 --> 00:47:24.739
 side

00:47:24.739 --> 00:47:25.819
 now how

00:47:25.819 --> 00:47:26.219
 this played

00:47:26.219 --> 00:47:26.659
 out is

00:47:26.659 --> 00:47:27.519
 Acts 8

00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:27.939
 1

00:47:27.939 --> 00:47:29.519
 as Stephen

00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:30.199
 is martyred

00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:31.480
 the blood

00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:31.759
 of the

00:47:31.759 --> 00:47:32.299
 martyrs

00:47:32.299 --> 00:47:33.039
 the seat

00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:33.299
 of the

00:47:33.299 --> 00:47:33.639
 church

00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:35.179
 and Philip

00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:35.679
 once again

00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:35.980
 Philip

00:47:35.980 --> 00:47:36.279
 from the

00:47:36.279 --> 00:47:36.500
 beginning

00:47:36.500 --> 00:47:37.019
 of John

00:47:37.019 --> 00:47:37.919
 he goes

00:47:37.919 --> 00:47:38.519
 to Samaria

00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:39.299
 and proclaims

00:47:39.299 --> 00:47:39.819
 the gospel

00:47:39.819 --> 00:47:40.899
 and the

00:47:40.899 --> 00:47:41.059
 Lord

00:47:41.059 --> 00:47:41.839
 regenerates

00:47:41.839 --> 00:47:42.699
 and then

00:47:42.699 --> 00:47:43.099
 Peter and

00:47:43.099 --> 00:47:43.419
 John go

00:47:43.419 --> 00:47:43.739
 up and

00:47:43.739 --> 00:47:44.179
 pray for

00:47:44.179 --> 00:47:44.559
 the church

00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:44.879
 that the

00:47:44.879 --> 00:47:45.399
 Holy Spirit

00:47:45.399 --> 00:47:45.960
 will fill

00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:46.599
 that church

00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:47.319
 and the

00:47:47.319 --> 00:47:47.739
 church is

00:47:47.739 --> 00:47:48.299
 living in

00:47:48.299 --> 00:47:48.739
 Samaria

00:47:48.739 --> 00:47:49.659
 and that

00:47:49.659 --> 00:47:50.279
 same promise

00:47:50.279 --> 00:47:50.639
 is for

00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:50.799
 us

00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:52.599
 let's pray

00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:52.980
 and thank

00:47:52.980 --> 00:47:53.379
 our Lord

00:47:53.379 --> 00:47:55.980
 from

00:47:55.980 --> 00:47:56.500
 Ephesians

00:47:56.500 --> 00:47:56.939
 5

00:47:56.939 --> 00:47:59.839
 oh God

00:47:59.839 --> 00:48:00.480
 put your

00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:00.980
 love in

00:48:00.980 --> 00:48:01.639
 our hearts

00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:02.859
 cause us

00:48:02.859 --> 00:48:03.519
 to marvel

00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:04.480
 at how much

00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:05.559
 Christ loves

00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:06.359
 his church

00:48:06.359 --> 00:48:07.679
 that he gave

00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:08.539
 himself up

00:48:08.539 --> 00:48:09.619
 for us

00:48:09.619 --> 00:48:10.759
 that you

00:48:10.759 --> 00:48:11.179
 might now

00:48:11.179 --> 00:48:12.259
 sanctify us

00:48:12.259 --> 00:48:13.179
 and cleanse

00:48:13.179 --> 00:48:13.879
 us by the

00:48:13.879 --> 00:48:14.519
 washing of

00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:15.480
 water with

00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:16.099
 the word

00:48:16.099 --> 00:48:17.359
 so that you

00:48:17.359 --> 00:48:18.079
 might present

00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:18.819
 the church

00:48:18.819 --> 00:48:20.119
 to yourself

00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:21.559
 in splendor

00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:23.079
 without spot

00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:24.079
 or wrinkle

00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:24.920
 or any

00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:25.639
 such thing

00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:26.799
 that we

00:48:26.799 --> 00:48:27.380
 like this

00:48:27.380 --> 00:48:28.000
 unlikely

00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:28.779
 bride

00:48:28.779 --> 00:48:29.739
 of our

00:48:29.739 --> 00:48:30.059
 heavenly

00:48:30.059 --> 00:48:30.480
 groom

00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:31.559
 will be

00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:31.960
 holy

00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:33.019
 and without

00:48:33.019 --> 00:48:33.639
 blemish
