JESUS // Woman at the Well

Lesson 7 | Woman at the Well

Check out the video above. ​This video helps us enter the world of people who have been labeled as “outcasts” by others. Many of us can relate to her life story—or we know people whose lives mirror the words she spoke. We sometimes forget all the emotions and feelings behind pain. Often when we experience pain, we try to numb it with some kind of escape or release, but it is only a temporary fix to our problem. Fortunately, God offers a true answer and solution.

​This past Sunday we began a three-lesson look at  "Jesus and the People." The stories of our Savior's interactions with others promise to be an incredible exploration of some awesome encounters with Jesus.

The first encounter we discussed was between Jesus and a Samaritan woman, found in John 4. It’s incredible and exciting to read about Jesus’ interaction with this woman and the transformation that took place. Jesus helped her realize that what she was searching for in her relationships could only be found in him.

This week, help reinforce this teaching in your childs life by asking the following questions as you have the opportunity:

• The woman in John 4 tried to fill the gap in her life through her relationships with men—what are some specific ways teenagers try to fill the gap in their lives?
• Why is a changed life such powerful evidence that God exists and offers forgiveness through Jesus?

​Have a blessed week!
