Lessons to be gained from the encounter of Jesus with the lady at the well

When I examine the lady at the well and great discussion with the Jesus of Nazareth in John 4:1-42, I am simply astounded at how God place himself in human position and stretched out His undieing love to those whom the world considers as pariahs and rejects. He really looks after all.below is the discussion that went on between the lady at the well and Jesu Christ.

God stretches out his affection to his creatures independent of race or class.

"How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a lady of Samaria? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans." (see John 4:9)

we read that Jesus conversed with the lady, approaching her for a drink.bible Researchers say that Jews don't relate with the Samaritans, particularly male Jews to Samaritan females. Jesus debased principles, conventions, and cultures by connecting with this specific lady – in light of the fact that He had a reason for it.

But in this story we discover that God's affection isn't in any way bound by human custom, culture, or practices. It will work its way in and through human life.this can be compared to @steemchurch where equal opportunity is given to all parishioners and the founder reaches everybody independent of your reputation, blog quality or some other extensive variables he looks past it to compensate all who increases the value of the congregation.

God knows our weaknesses and needs us to realize that he is the only one that can rescue us.

"The lady said to Him, 'I realize that Savior is coming (who is called Christ). When He comes, He will disclose to every one of us things.' Jesus said to her, 'I who address you am He.'" (see John 4:25-26)

Prior to this verse, we read that Jesus knew this woman and even told this woman of her wrong doing which include being with a man she is not married to without denouncing her. Later he uncovered himself to the lady that He is the one that she and the whole world have been sitting and waiting for: the messiah

Here we see that nothing can be kept covered for him, he definitely knows us and our weaknesses. In any case, rather than being enraged, loathing and censuring us for our unworthiness, He chooses to give interminable salvation, elegance, and mercy to us.

While He needs us to come to him like a reckless child admit our wrongdoings to Him, So He can wash us and make us complete again in Christ jesus (see 1 John 1:9). He needs us to uncover our selves and expose our weakness and incompletness for He is the Person who can rescue our circumstances, revamp, and heal us.

God modifies our story and restores our life for his glory.

"A considerable lot of the Samaritans of that city had confidence in Him in view of the expression of the lady who affirmed, 'He disclosed to me all that I at any point saw.'" (John 4:39)

This piece of the story gives me a profound thinking. A lady who is viewed as an outsider who abstains from being in associated with anybody to abstain from being looked at with despise henceforth turns out alone in hot weather turned into the principal individual to experience christ and spread his wonder allover the city.

There are different parts of this lessons which identifies with our day by day life which I am will state and clarify

Connect With Others Socially

Given the set down custom of male Jews not to partner with the sameritan females, Jesus could have remained away while the Samaritan lady came, drew her water from the well, and leave. Be that as it may, he chooses to talk with her by requesting that her give Him some water from the water she has drawn from the well. Jesus was not endeavoring to deceive her since he was extremelyin need of water.

Reaching others socially I can say is a hard task for some of us to deal with ,ordinarily we make a post that may be life changing to a few people they may require a reasonable clarification of our post or certain thing to ask. however we do not bother on checking back on those people might be on the grounds that we felt it won't bring rewards

Build up A Typical Intrigue OR Connection

with respect to this story Jesus solicited some help as a route from peaking a connection, He had never observed this lady before these scene and He most likely never observed her again. In any case, He used the open door open the route for the expression of God, to this lady at the well, as well as even to her entire town. Any normal intrigue can be a section point that in the long run prompts the gospel.

maku use of opportunities

Jesus was aware to "make use of the opportunity,turning the circumstance to otherworldly things. This has been a day by day errand for this lady .however She had no clue when she left house that her story was to be rewritten Yet Jesus saw this open door and used it to offer this parched lady the water of life.

We have to look for comparable circumstances that present us with a chance to get the message out for God.As @sirknight saw this chance to spread his Divine gospel on the web and got it and today a considerable lot of us are specifically or indirectly being affected upon through our consistent perusing of the post,commenting and making a post.he may not by any means meet any of us yet the impression of chance he snatched and used will dependably be found in all of us both monetarily and profoundly.

Go through Cultural Barrier, If Need Be,To Contact Individuals.

Jesus was not perplexed to associate with the sameritan lady as the culture expressed nor was he hesitant to drink from the lady's cup despite the fact that the Jewish instructors viewed the Samaritan ladies as formally tainted However Jesus overlooked these social injustice and purposely drew in this Samaritan lady with immoral behavior into a profound discussion.

this Steem church community ought to have been for Australians alone, however,the working instrument of God @sirknight didn't permit social prejudice,class or reputation to impede him in building up this connection that continues associating and spreading the gospel, I trust that we shouldn't be prevented by any racial partiality that would shield us from conversing with those of different races about Christ. Be that as it may, we may need to defeat some social preferences. as Christ did and as @sirknight improved the situation there might be some social outcast within and around us we should attempt to assemble an extension that could prompt sharing the gospel.because Jesus needs that Christian who will tears down dividers and defeat all obstacles just to talk abt him

Utilize A Typical Circumstance TO Present Otherworldly Issues

I have talked about this prior to using of opportunity, see how Jesus utilized a characteristic circumstance of his eagerness for water to draw in this lady in an otherworldly issue. you can even now start yours Perhaps it's a dialog about the world's problems.but, however, you ought to be mindful so as not to turn the dialog towards governmental issues or good issues, as opposed to the individual's requirement for Christ.

God loves to lift us up, take our stories of disappointment and change them into stories of triumph for His magnificence.

Brethren, Steemchurch members and crusaders of freedom I trust you appreciated perusing all, more imperatively learning the lesson, in the event that you thought that it was intriguing you can comment and upvote.

In Steem church we all are the same and their is no room for preferences because every body gets what he deserves thanks for coming around

Thanks for coming around,in Steem church their is no room for preferences everybody gets what he deserves .

From Jesus encounter with the Samaritan woman, it helps us to see the need to avoid discrimination. As you said, though she was not a jew Jesus did not let that stop him from communicating with her. It is wrong for us to ignore people either because of their races, religions or backgrounds.

This also helps us to understand the importance of showing unity over here at SteemChurch, thanks for sharing.

Thank you sister for the post. Jesus is such a great Savior to go beyond prejudice, culture, and race exemplified by the story of the Samaritan Women. I see one day, Christians here on Steemit will grow to be a big whale powerhouse that can lead many non Christian steemians to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

For some reason as I read your post, I am reminded of the cop killer Christopher Dorner. He did not believe Jesus can understand his pain. Dorner felt rejected. If he had taken the time to learn at the feet of Jesus, he may have seen a rejected Savior who can relate and sympathize with all people of the world.

Keep on Steeming Lena! For Jesus and for eternity! Maranatha!

He does not discriminate and he uplift us and change the plot of our stories!

God loves to lift us up, take our stories of disappointment and change them into stories of triumph for His magnificence.

You've succeeded in fighting against racism with this awesome post.Discrimination will always paralyse the the love that we share as Christians. Let us love one another irrespective of where we come from and skin color. Christians should stand firm by God's word which says "love your neighbor as you love yourself" @lenawrite God bless you for this post. #saynotodescriminationaschristians

Every story in the bible has a lesson attached to it! Thanks for sharing this. I had to re-read to really get the nitty gritty

Thanks for coming around sir I really appreciate ur contribution

Only through Jesus can we obtain and receive eternal life: “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life’” (John 4:13–14; cf. John 14:6).

He who accepts the water will be thirsty no more because he is the fountain of water of life

I trust that we shouldn't be prevented by any racial partiality that would shield us from conversing with those of different races about Christ. Be that as it may, we may need to defeat some social preferences.

Great post. I love your post. May I translate your post in my own native language and share with them? Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

Great post, I love this story

The dream and command of God is that we love each other, without prejudice and without barriers. May it be the Holy Spirit who guides us in that love and in that brotherhood. God bless you. A big hug from Venezuela.

Jesus is the only way to eternal life. Jesus himself is love, and interestingly, the scriptures says as we behold Him(God) like in a mirror, we are daily being transformed into the perfect image of His dear son(Jesus).
The point here is that if you are truly following Christ, you must exemplefy all that Christ is. The christ kind of love has no boundaries. Therefore, if we are to love the Christ way, there is no European, American, African, Australian et al, we are one in Him(Christ).

God bliss you for using the moral lesson form the Samaritan lady together with Jesus to speak to us...love reding... #steemchurch we are care

Thanks for your comments is very vital to set our self apart from that peth of discrimination
