The Woman Of Samaria - Her Legacy In Scripture

The Woman of Samaria - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read John 4:4 – 42.

1. Trace the Samaritan woman’s emotional responses as her encounter with Jesus progressed. What do you think she was feeling in verses 7 – 9? Verses 10 – 12? Verses 13 – 15? Verse 16? Verses 17 – 20? Verses 21 – 26?

2. Looking at her life, what do you think this woman was really thirsty for?

3. What have you used to try to satisfy your spiritual thirst apart from Christ? Family? Career? Shopping? Entertainment?

4. Verses 25 – 26 are the first time Jesus acknowledged exactly who he is. Why do you think he would choose to tell this woman, an outcast of society in a town of Samaria, instead of the leaders of Jewish religion and culture or even his own disciples? What sort of reaction do you have to his choice?

5. What do you think convinced the Samaritan woman that Jesus was who he said he was?

6. If Jesus really is the Savior who knows everything you ever did, what can the Samaritan woman teach you about how to respond to him today?
