Acceptable Worship, Part 2 - John 4:20-24
Let’s open the Word of God to John chapter 4, John chapter 4. We started talking about acceptable worship last Sunday morning, and I want to complete that this morning before we gather around the Lord’s Table, John chapter 4, and I just want to read from verses 20 through 24. This is a conversation Jesus is having with a Samaritan woman, and He confronts her with her sin, as you know.
They meet at a well. And she’s coming to get water, and He talks about the water of life, which will eliminate any spiritual thirst forever. And they’re having this conversation and it comes down to the fact that she is told by our Lord that she is living in sin. Without knowing her, He knows she’s had many husbands, and she’s now living in adultery with a man who’s not her husband. She is an outcast as a Samaritan, and she’s even more an outcast as a harlot. So he’s having this conversation with this woman, and He talks about living water and never thirsting spiritually again. Then she realizes that He knows about her sin, and she is convicted by that. Eventually, as you follow the story, she acknowledges Him as Messiah, goes and tells her village, and a marvelous act of evangelism is resulted in the salvation of Samaritans.
