Introduction

Image
We see in our story today that God crosses over the barriers that divide us – with an amazing invitation.

Jesus Reaches Across the Divide

Image
The fact that this woman was coming to the well alone at noon is an indication that her company has been shunned even by her own people

Living Water

Image
Unlike the water of Jacob's well, which represents the pride we may cling to in our ethnic or national heritage, the life that Jesus offers is alive and real and constantly being renewed. 

Spirit and Truth

Image
God is calling people to worship (that is, offer themselves) in spirit (with their whole hearts, not merely in form or ritual) and truth ( honestly and authentically ).

Conclusion

Image
we're not convinced that God could ever truly forgive us... in Jesus, we hear the invitation to come to God just as we are, without pretense, and to worship God in spirit and in truth .
