Compassion Immersion 2023 - Week 1

Eat This Book

Sermon Description:

In John 4, we see Jesus approach a woman who many in the orthodox Jewish community would have avoided.  There were all sorts of barriers that would have prevented an Orthodox Jewish people from conversing with her: barriers around gender, race, religion and morality.  Jesus’ interaction with this woman shows not only an incredible posture of grace and kindness, but also an invitation to capital T-Truth, where Jesus invites her to drink of “living water” found in…Him.  And as the story shows, this duality of both 1. the correct Christlike posture, coupled with 2. the bold proclamation that Jesus is Truth was utterly transformative for this woman.  And it’s a model of interaction that we modern Christians can emulate, too.
