John 3 & 4
Every person who comes to know Jesus personally has a story. When God wanted to communicate who He is, He came to earth and what He left behind is an amazing story that has changed people’s lives through the centuries. In John’s gospel, we have two incredible encounter stories that I believe give us the extent to which God works in reaching out to us as human beings. These two people and their story is a study in contrast. The first is the story of a Jewish religious leader, a man who came to Jesus at night. The second is the story of a Samaritan woman who meets Jesus at high noon in a place that most Jewish people in Jesus’ day avoided. In her case, she was an outcast, even within her own community. When we come to the end of their encounter with Jesus, they finally find what had been missing in their lives. I believe these two lives represent two groups of people, those who are moral and struggle to see themselves in need of a Savior and those who live immoral lives and believe that they are beyond the scope of God’s forgiveness.
