Behold
“Your Thirst for Truth”
John 4:1-42

“…the Lord himself will give you a sign…” - Isaiah 7:14a

Sign = Proof

“…the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:14

The Christmas “sign” will be missed if our celebration ends at the manger.

The amount of Christmas celebration is directly related to the amount of answers we have to life’s questions.

We all thirst for truth. We all want to “uncover something to rely on.”

John 4

“…he had to go through Samaria.” - John 4:4

Truth is Jesus…
	Always meets us where we are

“…How can you ask me for a drink?” - John 4:9

Uh-oh
	Jews weren’t supposed to speak to Samaritans
	Men were never permitted to be with a woman alone
	Men weren’t permitted to address women without their husbands present
	Rabbis had no business speaking to a shady lady

Truth is Jesus…
	Always focuses on grace first

“…you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep…” - John 4:11

Five marriages didn’t make her a sinner.
	Due to warfare, famine, disease and injury, men in those days dropped like flies.
	A widow either became a beggar, a prostitute, or another man’s wife.
	Each time, this Samaritan woman had chosen the best option.
	Sharing her bed with a sixth man who wasn’t her husband was a sin.

“I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” - John 4:25

Truth is Jesus…
	Doesn’t give up on us when we shut Him down

Our thirst for truth is quenched with Jesus.
