Jesus and the Woman of Samaria (6)

We have been in this passage of John 4 for quite some time. But there is a spiritual richness and beauty to this account that we dare not miss by passing over it too hastily. There are actually three major themes treated here in John 4 of this account of Jesus and the woman of Samaria. First, there is emphasis given to the gift of Jesus of “living water.” Second, the account sets forth the true worship of the Father in spirit and truth. And third, this episode emphasizes Jesus' mission to non-Jews. This third theme is the one to which we give our attention today.
