THOUGHTS:
The woman at the well came to get water. She was thirsty. Jesus offered a different type of water.
John 4:13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
The story can be told at any time and our need would still be the same. This world is a dry, barren place.
THEMES:
FORGIVENESS, JESUS, GRACE, EVANGELISM.
