Jesus and the Woman at the Well

- To her, Jesus was a man who was breaking all sorts of boundaries to talk to her. To him, it seems she was worthy of so much more respect and kindness than anyone ever showed her. It might not seem like much, but this unlikely conversation set the stage for Jesus to live out and share his message of radical love and selflessness and to invite the most unlikely of people to play a part in it all.

The point of the woman at the well wasn't to show us that "she mattered" but that Jesus was Messiah and he was God! The fact he used a samaritan woman is the grace of God... the point was that it was in spite of her, not because of her. To put "us" at the center of the gospel is a dangerous path, a wide path in fact that leads to destruction.
Agree! Yes of course the woman at the well mattered but the gospel is about Him, about Jesus! This campaign is making the gospel about us.
Crazy how the Gospel is because of us and for us. God is good and we aren’t. Good news is God is love and radically changed this woman because she mattered enough for Jesus to take time with her. You get the point. As it’s said, read for yourself.
I think it's sad that you think that she didn't matter, and that the context of this conversation does not matter. 🤔
The gospel is indeed for "us" - the people.
Jesus showed us all that she did matter. Be careful not to put anyone beneath you. Don't put yourself at the head of the table only to be asked to move down and give your place to people like her.
I'm not saying I'm better than her. I can say this because I am her!! A sinner through and through. (Regardless of ethnicity or creed), we all have the same human condition, heart of stone, and wicked to the core! By his grace, I am cleansed! I'm saying HE is more worthy than all of us! The true Gospel magnifies Christ, not us.
If you truly believe and have received the mercy of God, how can you claim credit for that?? We are saved for HIS NAME sake for his glory! lest any of us (women at the well included) should boast. If you have an issue with that, you have an issue with God, not me. EPHESIANS 2:8-9
The real lesson in this story is so much better.
Jesus comes to those who broken and contrite. He cares for the outcasts of society. The Samaritan woman was considered inferior because of her sex, ethnicity, and relationship history, but none of that mattered to Jesus because he saw her need for salvation.
When she discovers his identity as the Messiah she leaves her water jar, much like the disciples left their nets, and becomes an effective evangelist to her community.
The Bible doesn't say she was an outcast. That's a guess. A reasonable one, but an interpretation.
Samaritan's had female priestesses.
Wells, especially Jacobs, were the kinds of places they hung out.
This is also an interpretation, but a reasonable one.
More reasonable in fact because she goes toe to toe with Jesus theologically just like Nicodemus the teacher of Israel did (if you learn how to read into the symbolic language both people are using with Jesus).
This is also strengthened by the fact that she goes to tell the people, and THEY ALL JUST BELIEVE HER?!
That's what happens when a priestess tells you what's up, not a social outcast.
The point of John 4 very much IS about how Jesus went to the people who were his enemy. He risked His reputation, and obeyed God's command to bring the good news to ALL people.
And these 'enemies' of His received the truth in ways the 'insiders' rejected.
@@samozeal9466 exejetic interpretation of this story is not a mystery. The text speaks for itself.
If you disagree that’s ok but I don’t want to spend my time talking about it tbh. I’m not interested in random eisegetical interpretation of scripture based on whatever agenda someone is pushing (like in this video)
My point of the comment was not to quarrel about the interpretation, but to clear up the moral/meaning of this story. Which this video did not clarify. So I took the liberty to do so myself. It’s a story about a lost woman who’s been beaten down by the sinfulness of the world and herself, and outcast (clear because she’s a Samaritan I mean duh) was approached by Jesus the messiah, telling her how she can have salvation. And she was so full of her new found life that she went and told everyone.
This is not a debatable interpretation the same way many other books are like revelation. This is just a plainly told story. You can absolutely find layers of wisdom and history, but the moral absolutely stays the same.
@@samozeal9466 and NO they don’t all just believe her. Just like people don’t “just believe” Christian’s today. Some believe and follow, some deny and follow their own ways
The fact that Jesus is coming out of the pages of the Bible and onto our TV sets is what we need today because people, any people, who don't know Him will get their only way to find out about just one aspect of Him. However we meet people and spread the good news, the Gospel, is good enough. Praise God and Lord bless everyone!🙏🏻🤟🏻🌎
”The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ”Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.""”Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”“ while im sure you could pull that everyone matters from the story, the real point is Jesus is basically saying that he is the christ and through him and only him she would be eternally satisfied. This "ministry" (hegetsus) says alot to tickle your ears, but doesnt do a good job of teaching the whole truth that is the gospel.
The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
_Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."_
The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." _Jesus said to her, "You have well said, 'I have no husband,' for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."_
The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."
_Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."_
The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."
_Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."_
Try telling the WHOLE story next time, instead of your cherry-picked feel good passage.
@@generaljackripper666nice try. This isn’t the original Greek. Just teasing
@@generaljackripper666 What are you going on about? Salvation is through Christ alone. You added nothing of substance that contradicts anything originally posted. So that's not "cherry picked". Just look at your name dude. You're badging the name of a known serial killer and the number of the antichrist, yet you're trying to talk to people about what they got wrong in the Bible? Obviously none of it matters to you.
We need to catch the fish before we try to start cleaning them. Beautiful video about God's love for us. Thank you❤
Thank you!
You should post this on the feet washing video
A life with Jesus is the answer to all our problems. We all need to be more bold about our faith in Him. 1 Corinthians 16:13
This is my Jesus. He loves everyone and just wants us to love and follow him. He will the. Take care of next steps…/
The punch line of the story is avoided - that Jesus is the Savior of the world and all we need to do is believe in and ask Him to give us eternal life that only comes from Him alone. These messages are intentionally vague. They seem to focus on victimhood rather than repentance that leads to life.
Amen
The time has come for the real, loving Jesus to make a return. At last, we shall be free from the empty words of the Pharisees who would overlook the weird, the outcast, and the foreigner. Jesus is the path to love and salvation.
" Because you matter." ~Jesus
I really needed to hear that today. Thank you for HGU's ongoing outreach/campaign. The messages are (still) relevant, thought-provoking, and inclusive. You're reaching and impacting more people than you know. ❤
What would happen if those He encountered WORSHIPPED HIM in Spirit AND in TRUTH! Christ is exalted above all. The great wonder of this encounter was the REVELATION of Jesus Christ Himself! She now had access to the Messiah who REDEEMED her from a life of sin!
John 4:13
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
He Gets Us…..is a smart aim at Christian Unity! Jesus prayed we would be one! So…the world would see that Jesus was sent by God to Earth! God so loved the world!
Come see a man who told me everything I ever did...
Don’t get so upset about unpacking all the goodies at one time. Be patient and let the hunger develop. Jesus even let the rich young ruler walk away because he wasn’t ready to receive what the grace of God. These shorts are pre evangelism moments.
Love in action 💖
Please tell me this is one of the Super Bowl ones
Because love comes from within.
Amen.
Not really the point of the story though the real point is the confirmation that Jesus is God
So we'll illustrated ❤
If we do the same is a new civilization…
Who exactly is this Jesus you talk about"

God uses His Ways to Grow His Children

Some Christians have the same attitude about people not in their own denomination….they are Samaritans!
Beautiful. 🌿
What exactly does Jesus, God Almighty, get about us? He gets that we are sinner and slaves to the sin nature. He gets that sin manifests itself in all kinds of ways in a persons life,, whether it is greed or lying or hatred or sexual immorality. We call the sin nature "being human", or "no ones perfect" or "everyone makes mistakes". We dont call it sin when we do what we no wrong and don't stop being it. We call it being human. He gets that we love our sin, and He gets that without Him drawing us to Himself, no one wants Him. Thus He took on His wrath, in our place, to respond to the sin nature. Through Him, sin and death was overcome, and He now offers that victory to any and all who will believe that He is God alone and requires repentance (acknowledging the breaking of His 10 commandments, realizing the wrong of it, asking forgiveness for willfully doing wrong against Him, receiving Him as Lord of their entire life and stopping sinning).
We dont come to Him out of desire. No one does and no one ever will while they/we remain sinful and reject His call to repentance. HE GETS THAT WE CANT STOP SINNING WITHOUT HIM. He gets that we can never just be perfect and do good of our own will. We do things we know we shouldn't. We are controlled by emotions that we know are wrong. We have desires that we know is outside His will for creation. We struggle to let go of relationships, habits and lifestyles that we know aren't pleasing to Him. We do things without even realizing the harm they cause (whether now or down the road), and we have no intention to stop in our hearts no matter how hard we try. Thus it is said that a person is a recovering alcoholic rather is freed from alcoholism. Apply that to most things we struggle with in life and we acknowledge those short comings (weakness) linger in the background no matter how hard we try to do better. That us the power of Sin that He overcame with His death and resurrection.
He gets that we are sinners unable to change ourselves and obey His perfect will without Him intervening and us accepting His call to be free from sin and be forguvrn (however sin manifests itself in our lives). All humans are born in sin, thus a person can say they were born however they claim. They are right, and Jesus said we all should repent and be freed from the slavery and hold of sin.
He gets us, and He says "repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand." Now that we know He gets that we are sinful and offers the solution of repentance in faith, how will we respond?
He is holy and can never be in the presence of sin. Thus He clothed Himself in flesh so we could see Him, touch Him, speak with Him and no be destroyed in our sinful flesh by His holy existence.
The commercial presents a Jesus who is all accepting without telling the whole truth. We must acknowledge sin, what and why He did and truly repent. Otherwise, we choose to remain spiritually dead in our sin and apart from Him. He is coming back sooner than we think and the hell that is daily being unleashed on humanity is visible to all.
May we repent, for He gets that no one wants Him. By in large, most people want into His kingdom, but by in large, no one wants to enter in His way of faith with repentance. His Will be done. ❤😑
Yes the woman mattered to him, but that is not the reason he talks to her. He talks to her so that she could realize her own sin and brokenness, so that she would go into the town and tell the others, and in the end bring glory to Jesus and the Father. Jesus even says in verse 34 "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work." The Gospel is for us, we can't save ourselves so Jesus had to die to create a way for solvation for us, but in a greater picture it is so that God can be glorified through the Gospel.
I thought this message was well done. I didn't feel as if it was putting us humans in the center of the Gospel nor did i feel that it was avoiding telling people that Jesus is the Way. The theme of these spots has been He Gets Us. To me, those of us who have come to know Christ already know He is the Way. For the ones who don't, this is a great introduction to who He is & invites those who may be under the mistaken belief (because of the poor examples we as Christians & the Church has given at times) that they are pariahs & Jesus wouldn't possibly want anything to do with them. We have to learn how to catch a fish before they can be cleaned. Get 'em in the boat FIRST & then let the work of the Holy Spirit operate. 'He who winneth souls is wise.' That's practical on how to approach a person who may be an unbeliever or in church hurt or all othe varoius other circumstances life brings. No one's talking about agreeing with false doctrine, or making acceptable what God has clearly said isn't, and He still gave examples of how to show love & reach out and make sure everyone is included in the joy & mercy of His love. How they respond after we've done our part is between them & God.
Love and understanding is love and understanding.
It needs no additives, no magic fairy dust and, most importantly of all, no threat!
All Dogma, on the other hand, is evil, for it insists that unquestioning ignorant obedience is a moral good!
Dogma inevitably leads to good people, blindly, doing very bad things.
Whereas love and understanding leads to...
Love and Understanding!
Your first statement is YOUR dogma. The Bible invites questions. It doesn't expect unquestioning ignorant obedience. It gives you reasons for all it's lessons.
@@ServetusTrumpsCalvin The biblical divine commands to commit genocide? What "GOOD" reasons given, and what "GOOD" lessons taught: The story of the Amalekites (Numbers 13,14), the War against the Midianites (Numbers 31), and the battle of Jericho (Joshua 1-6).
Why grant "GOOD" morality to a mind that drowns innocent children globally with the flood? Millions of tiny bloated bodies bobbing away....!?!?!!!!!!!!!!
You: "Oh yeah! That's my kinda guy!"
1) Samaritans weren't a seperate race but a different nationality. (example: jamaicans and haitians in Florida)
2) she didn't talk to her cause "she mattered" he came to forgive her.
3) he came to reveal himself as messiah.
This what it looks like when you try to pander to liberals.
Your Jesus is an invention that you have invented.
It seems that your group and I have very different readings of that particular portion of the gospel.
One of the things I find interesting is that it doesn't say that she provided him with water. This would be a broach of the Hebrew and Samaritan mitzvah of offering water to strangers and the Greco-Roman tradition of zenia.
I question whether Jesus response to her was one of caring or one of condemnation, given the theme of philoxenia and the other verses in which Jesus, who you call Christ, told his disciples to treat those who refused them such necessities of life.
I respect your religion, but I feel as though you are offering a surface level interpretation and whitewashing of the actual interaction.
Without the woman, without people, without us, there no need for a message.
Did not Jesus, come to demonstrate god by showing us that he cares?
I don't know, I think He gets us. I'm just not sure I understand Christians who don't understand this.
Great video though.
And by the way, I don't believe in god, but something about this message....
Jesus went right through Samaria because He's God. He can go wherever He pleases and talk to whoever He wants. He's the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! He tells the Samaritan woman to give Him a drink and that He can give her living water so that she will never thirst again. The story isn't about her, it's about the Lord Jesus Christ!
John 4:10 KJV - Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Be careful! Jesus loves BUT there’s repentance!!! Beware of false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Minority? Sounds a little woke…that’s a turnoff, she was just a person living in sin and Jesus told her to sin no more.
This organization is twisting the Gospels. Do not trust them.
So much to think about here.
1: if she was samaritan in Samaria she wouldn’t have been a minority. Why play the race bait game?
2: no mention of her being a sinner. Hard to get people to join you if you are truthful.
And many more but I’m not in the mood to go on. Something about this video and this group seems a bit off to me. Well funded$$$$$$ or was given a free Super Bowl add.
Jesus told her she had five husbands and that she was with someone that wasn't her husband. I would say that some sin was involved.
John 4:18 KJV - For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
You're definitely correct that there is something about this group that is totally off and they are not Christian.
Funny that you guys never focus on the part where he tells people they are forgiven and to go and sin no more.
Or focus on the part where He talks about hell.
Or focus on the part where He clearly lays out the gender assignments in the church.
Because there's a reason for that isn't there?
After all satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
The video tells people to read the BIble and all of those things are in it. As you may know if you've read the Bible, it's more important to Jesus that people know Him personally than do works for Him. This video is simply doing the work of helping to know HIs character.
As for the topics you've mentioned, as someone once told me, "If you see a problem, try to solve it instead of talking about it." Sounds like it's time for you to make your own CZcams channel. 😉

The “He Gets Us” ad campaign is paid for the Servant Foundation, an organization that has donated over $50 million to a Christian legal advocacy group called the Alliance Defending Freedom. Here is a short list of some of the legal outcomes that were paid for by the SAME PEOPLE who paid for this video:
In Rutan-Ram v. Tennessee Department of Children’s Services, the Alliance Defending Freedom is currently defending a publicly funded Christian adoption agency that does not allow Jewish people to adopt or foster children.
In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, they overturned the constitutional right to an abortion that existed in the United States from 1973 to 2022. States can now severely restrict abortion, or even ban it entirely. In more than a dozen states, abortion is now illegal.
In Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, they defended a business owner who refuses to serve gay people.
In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores Incorporated, they successfully argued that a business can refuse to cover birth control in its health insurance plans, thereby giving corporations financial leverage over their employees’ medical decisions. The billionaire founder of Hobby Lobby, David Green, paid money for you to see this video.

You realize samaritans were related to jews and not a different race right? Samaritans were literally israelites who simply werent jewish. You dont understand the bible. Also youre confusing jews with muslims. Men could talk to women in public without issue at that time. Again, you have no idea what youre talking about.
