Living Water: Encountering Jesus Through the Samaritan Woman

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day Bible study journey centered on one of the most profound encounters in the Gospels—Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:1–42). This story is not just an ancient tale but a vibrant message inviting us to experience the living water that Jesus offers, to find our true identity in Him, and to embrace the call to share His life-changing love with others.

In this passage, Jesus crosses cultural, societal, and gender boundaries by engaging a Samaritan woman—someone whom Jewish people traditionally avoided. Through their dialogue, we see Jesus reveal his divine knowledge, expose deeper thirsts, and offer a gift that satisfies eternally: the living water that quenches our spiritual longing forever. This interaction highlights how Jesus meets us personally, regardless of our past or status, affirming our true identity as God’s beloved children.

Moreover, this story beautifully demonstrates evangelism—not as a distant concept but as a natural outflow of encountering Jesus. The woman, transformed and empowered, becomes a witness to her whole town, inviting them to meet the Messiah. Her testimony invites us to reflect on our own witness and the ways we share the gospel in our daily lives.

Throughout these seven days, we will dive deeply into the key themes of living water, identity in Christ, and the transformative power of evangelism. Together, we will explore the Scripture, reflect on Jesus’ words, and be encouraged to live out the implications in our own hearts and communities. Prepare to be challenged, refreshed, and equipped as we journey with the Samaritan woman to the well and discover the depths of God’s love.
