But these Pharisees and religious
leaders were his enemies. From the very beginning of our
Lord's public ministry, these men opposed him and hated him. And there was a sense in which
I can understand how they felt about him. They didn't know him. Paul said in 1 Corinthians, if
the leaders of this world had known who he is, they would not
have crucified him. He was in the world, and the
world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came to
his own, the Jews, the Pharisees, the temple, and they received
him not. And I thought about this. They
were educated men, highly, extremely educated men. religious leaders
and teachers. He was a carpenter. He was a carpenter. That's what
he was. One of them said one time, do you teach us? They were amazed. Where did he
learn? They said letters. Another thing,
they were teaching people salvation by works. Do your deeds and duties and
religious doings to be seen of men." That was their philosophy. And outward, our Lord described
them. He said, outwardly beautiful
unto men. They prayed on the street corner.
They did what they did out publicly to be seen of men. His message
was salvations by grace. His kingdom is not outward show,
but within us. It's the work of God's Spirit.
He said when you pray, don't stand around in a circle and call attention to yourself.
Go in your closet and shut the door. Talk to God in secret. When you give a gift, don't put
it in the paper. Don't have a ceremony and have
a picture taken of you presenting a check to someone. Don't let
your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Don't tell
anybody. Do it quietly. And God sees secretly and rewards
you openly. That's just all contrary completely
to what they were teaching. They hated him. They were seeking
their honor and glory. He was seeking the glory of the
Father. And he came to redeem his people,
given him by the Father. And they hated him. And he knew,
he knew that people following him and hearing him was creating
a problem with these Pharisees. So it's said in verse 3, he left
Judea. The Pharisees probably planned
some action against him and his eye was not yet come. There were
many times when our Lord departed from a place And opposition arose
against him simply because his Iowa was not yet come. You know,
when he was Luke 4, when he passed through the midst of them? At
the wedding, when he turned the water into wine and it created
quite a sensation, not opposition, but promotion. And he got out of there. He said,
my Iowa's not yet come. So he left Judea and departed
into Galilee. Now verse 4 says, and he must
needs go through Samaria. If you can look at the map. If
you go from Judea to Galilee, you must needs go through Samaria. That's the shortest route. If
you want to take the shortest route, that's the shortest route.
From Judea to Galilee is through Samaria. But there was a longer
route which most of the Jews took. They wouldn't go through
Samaria because the Jews hated the Samaritans and the Samaritans
hated the Jews. And the Jews wanted no contact
with the Samaritans whatsoever. But our Lord must need to go
through Samaria for an entirely different reason than the fact
that it's the shortest route. Our Lord must need to go through
Samaria because He has some sheep there. He has some people there. The Lord Jesus said in John chapter
10, other sheep I have. Not I might have or a good possibility
that they'll believe on me. I have these sheep. My Father
gave them to me. And they shall hear my voice
and they shall follow me. And He's going through Samaria.
We'll see in a few moments because the purpose of the Father took
him through Samaria. His walk through Samaria was
as planned and purposed by the Father as his walk up Calvary's
mountain. Every step he took, every place he went, every word
he spoke. He said, the words I speak are
the words my Father gave me. The steps he took were the steps
the Father sent him upon. Sometimes if you want to read,
about Samaria, you read Acts chapter 8. That's where a great
revival took place there under the minister of Philip. That's
where Philip was preaching when the Holy Spirit took him down
to meet the eunuch. He was in Samaria. He's there
people that our Lord must need to go through Samaria in order
to preach to them, in order to call them. They later had a great
revival And many people confess Christ. But if a person really appreciates
the gospel, he knows this is always true. And he'll never
appreciate the gospel until he sees this basic truth of predestination. Now listen, hear me. A person
will never appreciate the gospel of God's grace and glory, the sure hope, the blessed hope,
the eternal hope, the confidence that we have in Christ Jesus
until he sees this basic truth, that God made the choice first
and then we chose, that God purposed and planned our salvation, and
then we came. That God called us, and then
we called Him. You'll never fully appreciate
the gospel until you understand it starts with God. That's right. He must need to go through Samaria. There's a woman coming to a well,
but back before the foundation of the world, God purposed for
His Son to go through Samaria, and for this encounter to take
place. It says in John chapter 15, the
Lord said to his disciples, you didn't choose me, I chose you. And you'll never appreciate God's
greater glory, the greater glory of his grace. And you'll never
really have a a firm assurance and confidence of your own relationship
with God and hope of life, until you see that it began with Him. That you weren't saved by accident,
but you're saved on purpose. That every step of your life,
the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. Which
one? After he becomes a believer? No, sir. All his life. From the cradle to the grave,
every step is ordained of God. Predestination. And when you
come to get some kind of grasp on that, that the choice is His
first, and then He leads us to believe. You see, election has to do with
persons. always has to do with persons. Read it anywhere in the Bible.
It's His elect. Election according to the good
pleasure of God, the will of God. He chose us in Christ. He chose us. He chose us in Christ
before the foundation of the world. The predestination has
to do with what God will do with us and for us. Election has to
do with persons. Predestination has to do with
things, purposes, will, acts, words, steps. That's right. You see, his walk through Samaria
was predestinated because, and her coming to the well was predestinated,
as she might hear the gospel, because she's one of God's elect.
But which comes first? Election or predestination? Which
comes first? Well, let's see if we can find
out. Turn to Ephesians 1. Now, predestination doesn't have
anything to do with condemnation. It has to do with salvation.
Ephesians 1. Predestination has nothing to
do with people going to hell. Predestination has to do with
people being made like Christ. In other words, let me give you
this little simple illustration. Joseph, everybody's familiar
with Joseph, familiar with Joseph. He's going to be king of Egypt.
Well, that's the most far-fetched thing in the world to even think. That little Jewish boy is going to be king of Egypt,
a pagan country. Now, that's just ridiculous,
but that's God's purpose. He's going to be king of Egypt.
Because Israel, 70 of them, sons of Jacob, were coming down into
Egypt. God predestinated that, ordained
that. Well, God, His daddy made him
a beautiful... His daddy loved Joseph because
he was a favorite son. Joseph and Benjamin were sons
of Rachel. And He made him a beautiful
coat. And it just happened that he
went down to where his brothers were watching the clock, you
know, and kind of flaunted his coat and his dreams. And they
threw him in a pit. They were going to kill him.
But one of the boys said, don't kill him. Now, the other said,
let's kill him. One of the boys, Reuben, said,
don't do that. Well, that's all predestinated, you see. You can't
have him dead if he's going to be king. And so some people came
through there going to Egypt. Not going to Ethiopia, not going
to Thailand, not going to Egypt. And they took Joseph down to
Egypt. They bought him and took him to Egypt as a slave. And Potiphar hired him to be
his chief worker, run his farm. And his wife took a shine to
Joseph and all this happened and Joseph wound up in jail.
But it so happened that two fellows in jail with him were the king's
butcher and baker. Isn't that right? That didn't
just happen. That's predestined. You see what
I'm saying? He's going to be king. But all
of this was ordered. Oh, it seems like an accident
to us. It seems like just a maze of things happening that just
had nothing to do with Egypt, the kings. But these fellows
had a dream and God gave Joseph the ability to interpret the
dreams. And he told them, he said, now
when you get back to the palace and if they set you free, remember
me, remember me to the king. Well, they killed one of them.
And the other fellow went to the palace and forgot all about
Joseph. He forgot all about him. But
the king had a dream. You see, the king's heart is
in the hands of the Lord. The Lord ordains these things.
And he couldn't figure out what it meant, so he called all his
smart fellas, and they couldn't, and this fella happened to think,
hey, wait a minute. There's a fella down there in
jail, been down there for a long time, named Joseph. He can tell
you what your dream means. Pharaoh said, go get him. So
here he comes to the palace. And he interpreted the dream,
and Pharaoh made him king of Egypt. That's predestination. All that was predestinated. God chose him to be king. But
God ordains the means as well as the end. He must. He must. And when God sets these
wheels of redemption in motion, everything in my life brought
me to this pulpit right here. Everything in my daddy's life,
in my grandfather's life, in the men, in my forefathers who
came from Ireland to Alabama. Every step is ordained of God. Because he elected me to preach
his gospel. Because he elected Joseph to
be king of Egypt. Because he elected you to be
a son of God. Go make your son of God. Now
look, which comes first, predestination or election? Look at Ephesians
1, verse 3. "...Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in the heavenly places in Christ, according as he chose us in him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy
and without blame before him in love." He chose us in Christ,
having already predestinated us to the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ Himself according to the good pleasure of His will.
I'll tell you which came first, the predestination. God predestinated
what we would be before He chose us to be that. In other words,
Christ is my first elect. He made Christ our surety. He
made Christ our Savior. He made Christ our King, He made
Christ everything, and then chose us in Him. They're going to be
like Him. That's right. That's the reason.
I could go on about it, but we've got to stop that. Verse 4 says,
He must need to go through Samaria, and then cometh he to a city
of Samaria, which is called Sychon, near to a parcel of ground that
Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was that. This
well was called Jacob's well either because he dug it or because
his family used it and he passed it along to these others. Jacob's well. But here's the
key. Jesus, therefore being wearied
with his journey, sat thus on the well and it was high noon,
twelve o'clock. Jesus was tired. This is a significant phrase,
Jesus being wearied. I tell you what this statement
is emphasizing, that he's truly, completely a man, a human being. He's God, the everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace, wonderful Counselor, the mighty God. But he has humbled
himself and come down to this earth and took upon himself the
form of a serpent, made in the likeness of our flesh. And he
was subject, as a man, to weariness, to hunger, to thirst, and to
be tested in all points, like as we are, yet without sin."
Go down to verse 8. His disciples were going into
the city to buy meat. Now, you know one time, One time
he asked the Pharisees, they were asking him a lot of questions. And he said, I have one for you. What think ye of the Christ?
The Christ, the Messiah. Whose son is he? And immediately
one of those Pharisees said, he's the son of David. Son of
David. Christ said, alright. Our Lord
said, alright. How can he be David's son? and
David's God. They couldn't handle that. Couldn't
handle that. Not one of them said a word.
How can it be David's son and David's God? Because David said,
and they knew this scripture, the Lord said to my God, my Lord,
sit on my right hand until I make you enemies of your footstool.
And they were bum-fussed. Well, I'm not. I don't I don't
have near the letters that those men have, but I know he's David's
son because he was manifested in the flesh, born of a woman,
just like you and I were, born of a woman. He had hair and flesh
and bones and blood and weariness, and Sunday evening I'm so weary. My Lord had that weariness. Tired. And he had to rest. I have to
sit down there. He had to sit down too. He was
hungry and weary and tired and thirsty. Well, why didn't he
make something into bread? He couldn't do it and be my Savior. Now, here's my question to you.
How is it that he fed 5,000 by breaking some bread in two? Why
did he send the disciples down there in the village to buy meat
for himself? Satan said that to him on the
mountain. You remember when he said, if you be the Son of God,
make these stones into bread? He fasted 40 days, hungry. Imagine being, how you'd be hungry
in 40 days without bread. Make this stone into bread. And
he said, man shall not live by bread alone, but by the Word
of God. And being our substitute and Savior, he could not perform
a miracle to satisfy his hunger or thirst or weariness. He could
do it for you, for you, for you, which he does, which he does. He could do it for all those
people. He could perform, he could feed their 5,000, but he
couldn't do it for himself because he's my Savior and substitute
and I can't do that. He's got to be subject to every
trial and every temptation. So, he sat down on the well just
plumb tired, as we say, tuckered out. He's a man. And that verse is fully revealing
that to us. Weariness, hunger, sent his disciples
to get by some food. Well, then cometh a woman of
Samaria to draw water. The Lord knew why he came to
this well, and why he was sitting there, and why he sent his disciples
into town, and what he was waiting on, and whom. She came to the well, not to
meet him. She didn't know him, she didn't
know of him, never heard of him. She came to draw water. There
are a lot of different reasons why people go where they go.
A lot of different reasons. I came
here to Ashland 50 years ago, 1947, March 1947, 21 years old. I came here to be a song leader.
I came here to be a youth director of a Baptist church in this town.
Didn't know the gospel, didn't know the truth, but I was a religious
worker and leader. And I came here to put my poison in somebody
else's bucket, you know, teach folks what I didn't know. But God brought me here to hear
the gospel. There's a fellow in North Carolina that met me
here and preached the gospel. I didn't come here to hear the
gospel. I didn't come here to meet him. But God sent him here
and I chose to come here. I was invited and I chose. This woman chose to go to the
well. But I'm sure glad the Lord Jesus chose to meet her there.
He chose to meet her. And he said, give me a drink.
Give me a drink. Why is he asking this woman for
a drink? Well, he's thirsty, but he's asking her for a drink
that he might get on the subject of water. You see, water is such
a good type of salvation. It's such a beautiful picture
of salvation. He's called the living water.
One time, when this Feast of the Tabernacles was all over
and the people breaking camp and packing up and going home.
He stood and cried with a loud voice, if any man thirst, let
him come to me and drink. And out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. Why is water such a wonderful
picture of salvation? I'll give you six reasons quickly.
Number one, water is the gift of God. Nobody can create water. Nobody
can produce it. You say, we can dig a well. Yeah,
but you're looking for God's water. Water is the gift of God. Secondly, water comes down from
heaven. Every drop of water on this earth
came from heaven. Exactly right. And it, the little
stream, the little, way up the head of the Mississippi up in
Minnesota, you can step across the Mississippi River. But you
can't step across it in New Orleans. It just keeps getting bigger.
After the sea and the water goes up, then it rains back down.
But it comes from heaven. Salvation comes from heaven.
Thirdly, water meets the need of everyone, rich or poor, old
or young. It meets the need of everyone.
It meets the need. Water forth is praise. It is praise. I know here in
Ashton we pay folks to pipe it, but you don't have to drink their
water. You can get you some rainwater. It's free. That's the way when
I was a kid we had a cistern. We had a roof and had these gutters
and had a thing we pulled out and let the rain come down on
the roof and wash it off and then pull this thing that came
off the roof down and put it into the cistern. That was our
water. Didn't cost a nickel. Came from God. Free! Salvation's
free! And you can go to some of these
churches and buy it, but it's free from God. It's free. It's free. And water is indispensable. I'd like to have it. I just can't do without water.
I can't. I can do without something, but not without water. It's the only thing that I can't do without for a
very long period of time. Die. Water. Water. And then in
the sixth place, it performs two services. It cleans us and
refreshes us. And my Lord's salvation cleans
us, cleanses us. Wherewithal shall a young man
cleanse his way, taking heed to Christ, the Word of God. And
the Word of God is within a living well. It refreshes. Ah, he's
going to talk to her about water. Well, verse 9, the woman was
shocked. Then said the woman, how is this
that you, being a Jew, ask a drink of me which am a woman of Samaria?
The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. She was shocked
that he would talk to her. The Jews, it was the deepest
degradation to talk with a Samaritan if you're a Jew. But the most
unheard of thing was to ask one a favor. A Jew just did not ask
a Samaritan for a favor. But let me tell you something.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, oh the humility, the condescension. He's no respecter of persons.
He's no respecter of persons, class, nations, position, power,
riches. He's a friend of sinners. He
asked this Samaritan for a drink of water. She was shocked. And
then he made four statements. I'll tell you this, I'd love
to stay here a long time, but four things he said. So profound,
yet so plain and so simple. You know when you hear preachers
preach, sometimes they get so far out in left field And you
can't understand what they're talking about, but our Lord spoke
in one and two syllable words. He said to the woman, poor thing,
He said, if you knew, if you knew, if you knew who you are and what
you are and what you need, if you knew
the glory of God, the grace of God, if you knew, Secondly, if you knew what? If
you knew the gift of God. Who it is. The gift of God is
Christ. The unspeakable gift of God is
Christ. If you knew who you are and if
you knew who it is, it's speaking to you. If you knew who I am. I thought about Nicodemus this
morning. I told you, he said, Master, we know. Oh, can you
imagine? this fleshly creature talking
to him who is wisdom personified and telling him, I know. Isn't
that something? Oh my. He said, if you knew the
gift of God and who it is that speaks to you, you would thirdly,
you would ask. Asking always follows knowing. Is that true? Asking always follows knowledge. I know that he has water and
I'll ask him. If I don't know he has water,
I'm not going to ask him. I know this man can help me because
he has the ability and the power. If I don't know that prior to
this, I'm not going to ask him. I'm not going to ask somebody
unless I know." And he said, if you knew the gift of God and
who it is, what would you do? You would ask. You would ask. And fourthly, he said, and I'd
give, no question about it. Who's going to be saved? I'll
tell you. A person who knows who he is, what he is, a sinner,
his inability, helplessness, hopelessness. A person who knows
that the grace of God is in Jesus Christ, the mercy of God is in
Jesus Christ, the love of God is in Christ Jesus. I know that's
where it is. I know there's none other name
unto heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. I know He's
the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes to the Father
but by Him. I know He came down from heaven to redeem a people,
to bring us to God. I know that. I know who the gift
of God is. It's Christ. And I'll tell you
what I did. I asked Him to save me. The thief on the cross knew
who He was, and he asked Him, didn't he, Ron? He asked Him. The woman with the Sick daughter
knew who he was and she asked him, have mercy on them. If you
knew, you'd ask. And let me tell you something,
he always gives. He always gives. You have not
because you ask not. Whosoever, whomever it is, wherever
he is, call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. But how
shall it call on him in whom they've not and known who he is and how shall
they know except they hear and how shall they hear without pressure
but he works all that out well let's look at this girl
again here just a few moments and I understand this sometimes
we become annoyed with the lack of knowledge on the part of people
but they're products of what they've heard to which they've
been exposed. They're products of this generation
and the one preceding. And she stood there and looked
at him and he just said, now if you knew the gift of God and
who it is that's talking to you, you'd ask me and I'd give you
living water. And she looked at him. She said,
you don't have anything to draw with. You have no tools. You
don't have a shovel. You can't dig a well. You don't
have a bucket, you can't get water out of this well. You're
sitting here on the well and you're thirsty yourself. From whence do you have this
living water? She doesn't know what he's talking
about. Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us this
well and drank from it himself? Our Lord said, listen woman,
you write a sign and put it over this well, And every well in
this world dug by some man, you write these words over that well,
whether it's the well of riches or the well of popularity
or beauty or the well socially, religiously or whatever. But
you write over all the wells of this world, the wells of fame
and the wells of health, the wells of family, the wells of
religion. You write over all these wells, these words. Whosoever
drinks this water will thirst again. Keep on thirsting. This world, everything in it,
can never satisfy the soul. Never, never, ever satisfy the
heart. Need for grace, forgiveness,
peace, rest, love and hope and eternal life. And you can drink,
you can join all the churches and go through all the different
sprinkling, pouring, baptizing, confirmation, blessings, confessions,
do anything that people tell you to do and you write over
all of them You do this, you'll thirst again. You'll thirst again. But listen,
the water I give you, the water I give you, but whosoever drinks
of the water I give you will never thirst. That water that
I give him shall be in him. I'll give him a new heart. I'll
give him life. I'll shed abroad my love in his
heart. I'll write my law in his heart. I'll give him a new nature.
Give him the nature of God. And he'll have peace that he's
never had. Rest, love, joy, hope in Christ. And it'll be a well that'll spring
up all the time from within. You see, the true believer, he
doesn't go to church like you go to a service station because
your tank's running dry. His tank doesn't run dry. He goes to hear more of his Lord.
He goes to worship his Lord. He goes to praise his Lord. He
goes to fellowship with his Lord's people. He goes to be a witness
to the grace of God. He goes because that's his family. And there's no way he'd rather
be than with the family of God. That's what Chuck prayed a while
ago, thank you for the family. It's inside. And really, let
me tell you something, this world and religion, these gaudy buildings, stained
glass windows and candles and uniforms and robe choirs and
cantatas processionals and walking with crosses and all the big
hats and the long robes and the tassels and all this sort of
thing. People who don't have anything in here need a whole
lot out here to make them feel religious. That's right. The
less you have in here, the more you need out here. Atmosphere. Atmosphere. You need all this
getting around the wall, holding hands, burning candles going
on and carrying on. You need that if you don't have
anything in here. The more you have in here, the
less you need that. The less you have here in your heart, the more you need. I don't need
an outward cross. I have the cross in my heart.
Christ died for my sin. A fellow sent me a cross one
time to carry in my pocket so when I got down I could rub it. That's paganism. Pure, undiluted
paganism. And that's what most of this
external religion is. It's paganism. A believer worships
on a creek bank, driving his car down the road in a traffic. He can commune with God. He can
sing the songs. He can quote the Scripture. He
can thank God for His mercy. A woman can stand and wash her
dishes and look outside at the trees and say, thank you, God.
Thank you, Lord. You've been so good to me. Young
people can play on the playgrounds and go about their business.
I wish, I don't want to get into all this, but I think a whole lot of this organized
prayer in schools is for show rather than for prayer. Now,
that's right. It's for show. There's one thing
you can't keep me from doing, and that's praying. That's one. They say, well, let's pray in
school. You can pray in a well. You can pray in a prison. You
can pray if you can't even speak. Hannah prayed a great prayer
that God heard and gave her a son, and she never said a word. And I'll tell you, if you want
some straight from the shoulder and the heart information, that's
the prayer God hears. And that's the best prayer. And
for us to get down here in Judd Plaza and stand around the circle,
to show people we're Christians. I tell you, go to work and show
them by your attitude, and show them by your life, and show them
by your honesty, and show them by your compassion, and show
them by your love, and show them by your gospel. God looks on
the heart, and He hears prayers from the heart, and I just, I
tell you, I think we're, a lot of this is to agitate this world. And we don't accomplish anything
by doing that. We really don't. He said, it will be within him
a well of living water. Alright, I want to read these
next verses and I want you to pick out two problems that our
Lord presented to this woman. Two insurmountable problems.
She said in verse 15, give me this water. Give me this living
water. Come on now. Give me this water.
And he presents two problems. Let me read and see if you can
come up with it. He said, go call your husband and come hear
this. She said, I don't have a husband.
He said, you well said you don't have a husband. You've had five
husbands and he whom you now have and you're living with is
not your husband and that you said truly. The woman said, well,
I perceive you're a prophet. Well, she said, our fathers worshipped
in this mountain. The Samaritans worshipped in
this mountain. This mountain was a holy place where our fathers
worshiped. And you Jews, you say that Jerusalem,
where the temple is, where the priest is, where the mercy seat
is, that's where the sacrifice is offered, that's where you
Jews worship. That's the place you say men ought to worship.
He said, woman, believe me, the hour cometh when you shall neither
in this mountain nor in the temple worship the Father. You don't
know what you worship. And he might have added, the
Jews don't either. You don't know what you worship.
You don't know God. We know what we worship. Salvation
is of the Jews. I know. Believers know. But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and truth. For the Father seeketh such to
worship Him. God's a spirit, and they that
worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth." What's
the true problem? Insurmountable, impossible problem. One, her sins. Her sins. And he wasn't just picking on
adultery. He just knew that's where she was right now. He dealt
with that one. She had a whole lot of problems.
Sin is her problem. Sin. And the second thing, she
didn't know God. Sin, didn't know God. Turn to
Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 59. This is every
man's problem. It's every man's problem. Got
to be dealt with. It's insurmountable. We can't
do anything about it ourselves. Nobody else can on this earth.
Look at Isaiah 59-1. Behold, the Lord's hand is not
shortened, Isaiah 59, 1, that He cannot save. His ear is not
heavy that He cannot hear, but your iniquities have separated
between you and your God. Your sins have hid His face,
and He won't hear you. That's our problem. That was
her problem. Her sins. She didn't know God. He had his
faith. She was going about worship, religion, and all these things,
but didn't know God. Sin, insurmountable, impossible. My sin, soul that sinneth will
die. Don't know God. So, she said,
listen, verse 25, she said, I know that the Messiah, the Christ,
is coming. Abraham spoke of Him, Moses wrote
of Him. The Christ is coming, which is
called the Christ. When He's come, He'll tell us
all things. He'll reveal all things. And
He said, I'm He. And He has come to deal with
those two problems, to put away our sins and take us to God. He has come to put away our sins. He came to suffer the just for
the unjust, that He might bring us to God. That's what He does. That's who He is, and that's
what He does. And evidently, she heard Him
and believed Him, because she left her water pot and fled to
the town, told Him, says, Come, hear a man. It told me all I
ever did is not just to Christ. Isn't that a beautiful story? I hope it's a blessing to you. All right, Mike, come and lead
us in 474.
