Life of Christ Lesson 18a: The Woman at the Well

This is one of the most marvelous episodes in the record of Christ's ministry! Oh, how it shows us His amazing ability to witness and draw people to Himself with His gentle manner, but His blunt exposure of one's sin. He shows us that God truly is no respecter of persons, for He completely disregarded the sex barrier, the social barrier, and the Samaritan barrier (all of which were sinful barriers created by people, not God) in order to overcome the sin barrier! See how our wonderful Lord was never self-centered. Though He was (in His Humanity) weary, hungry, and thirsty, His primary concern was always to seek and to save a poor, sin-sick soul!
