"The Living Water"
Each of us has a story and this story has a beginning, middle, and end. This woman's story in the beginning was rough and resulted in many failed marriages. The middle of her story was the day she met Jesus and He lifted the guilt and shame from her past. Then Jesus reveals that He is the answer she has been searching for her entire life.
So often we turn to relationships, money, or our careers to fill an emptiness we feel inside. However, unless we drink from the fountain of "living water,” we will just keep going back to those wells in our lives. We keep looking for something to satisfy our thirst. However, nothing in this world will satisfy what only God can.
The beautiful thing about this story is the future that this woman has because of Jesus. Her story might have started out rough, but it ends with eternal hope. If you experience Jesus as the source of your soul, it will change your story too.
At each stage of this exchange, what do you think keeps the woman in the conversation?
What do we learn about Jesus' character and values in this exchange?
Reflect on what you have personally experienced with Jesus. Who might need to hear your story? How might you share it with them?

About this Plan
Jesus was more than just a figurative religious voice. He actually walked this earth as a man revealing to us the full nature of God. One of his best friends, John, took time to write down for us the account of his life, ministry, and teachings. This six-week study through the Gospel of John is not only history, but it’s also His Story.
