You Will Never Be Thirsty Again

June 15, 2009  |  By: David Mathis  |  Category: DG Resources

This week’s sermon: “You Will Never Be Thirsty Again”

Jesus and the woman at the well—great fodder for a sermon on evangelism, right? “Watch Jesus navigate the conversation, and go do likewise.”

Not so fast. The problem with this approach is that it misses the fact that it’s not Jesus in this story who represents our plight but the adulteress. We sinners are the Samaritan woman.

The woman-at-the-well account reveals woeful truth about ourselves and wonderful truth about Jesus. And the wonderful truth that it reveals about Jesus gives hope to us in our woeful condition.

We see in this story that Jesus is . . .

  • graciously purposeful,
  • graciously relational, and
  • graciously superior.

Not arrogant superiority, but gracious superiority. His superiority is our salvation.
