Take advantage of opportunities to talk about Jesus Christ
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The story of the Samaritan woman in John chapter 4 is about the importance of valuing every soul and seizing opportunities to share the Gospel. The Samaritan woman was in a limbo between Judaism and paganism, but Jesus approached her and had a direct encounter with her. The story shows that no soul is unimportant to God and that we should not let obstacles such as racial or ethnic hatred get in the way of ministering to others. The Lord saw the importance of every soul and took obstacles as opportunities to share the Gospel. We, as the church of Jesus Christ, are called to be fishers of men and to value each soul equally. The Lord is interested in our lives and is always looking for opportunities to enter our hearts and become our Lord and Savior.
In this sermon, the pastor discusses the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. He emphasizes the importance of approaching people with kindness and simplicity, as Jesus did with the woman. He also stresses the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus, rather than just following religious traditions or attending church. The pastor encourages Christians to be joyful and optimistic, and to approach others with love and compassion.
The author emphasizes the importance of joy, hope, and happiness in the Christian faith. Christians should be dynamic and enterprising, daring to do big and serious things because they have an almighty God with them. The author also talks about the internal water of life that runs within Christians, refreshing and nourishing them continually. However, the author stresses the importance of acknowledging and confessing sins before God to have a relationship with Him. The author concludes by saying that true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, connecting directly with God rather than a religion, church, or man.
The writer encourages readers to connect with God directly and not rely on religion, church, or man. They suggest finding a place of worship where one can commune with God and adore Him. The writer invites readers to accept Jesus as Lord and share the good news with others.How many here know Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior? Raise your hand. Raise it high. If you have to think about it, it's already fried. Amen. You have to know that you know that you know that Jesus Christ is our Lord, our savior, our King.
And I want to talk about a woman who didn't know Jesus and who had the privilege of introducing himself to her. He approached her and spoke to her about his person and she had a direct encounter with the precious Lord Jesus Christ. It is found in John, chapter 4. It is the story of the Samaritan woman. Samaritan because she lived in a village of Samaria and the word begins in verse 1 of chapter 4 when the Lord comes to that village of Samaria, that village was called Sychar, it was a city, a Sycar town but it was part of a larger region of Samaria. We are going to start in verse 4 where it says that in order for the Lord to go to Galilee, coming from Judea, it was necessary for him to go through Samaria. And that is very significant in light of what we will see later.
