I have seen so much for living water for this lesson, so I thought I would do something different. I used Names of Jesus Cornerstone MBV and created worksheets to discuss some of the names for Jesus including the names Jesus and the Samaritan woman used.
Our lesson
takes place in Samaria. It is found in John 4. Jesus was leaving Judea and was
going to Galilee. To do that, Jesus had to travel through Samaria. Jesus
decided to stop and rest at the sixth hour, which was noon. He stopped in a
city called Sychar by a well. It happened to be Jacob’s well. (Jacob the father
of Joseph in the Old Testament) Jesus was so tired, He sat by the well.
There was a
woman from Samaria that came to the well for water. Jesus asked her for a drink
of water. During this time, the Disciples had left to go into the city to buy
food.
The woman
from Samaria asked Jesus why He would ask her for water! She said Jesus was a
Jew and she was a Samaritan. Jews and Samaritans did not have anything to do
with each other!
Jesus told
the woman that if she knew who was saying, “Give Me a drink”, then Jesus would
give living water. But the woman replied that He doesn’t even have anything to
get the water in and the well is deep!
The woman
asked Jesus if He was greater than Jacob? Jacob, his sons and his animals drank
from the well.
Jesus told
her that whoever drinks of the living water that He would give would not ever
be thirsty again. Jesus said the water that He gives would become a fountain
that builds up into eternal life!
The woman asked
Jesus for this eternal water so she wouldn’t be thirsty again and so she wouldn’t
have to come to the well and draw water.
Jesus told
her to go and bring her husband to see Him. But, she told Jesus that she didn’t
have a husband. Jesus agreed with her and told her that she has had five
husbands! The man she was with now wasn’t
her husband either.
The woman told Jesus He must be a
prophet! Jesus told her that the way of worship was changing. The people wouldn’t
be worshipping under the Old Law. God wants the people to worship Him in spirit
and truth. The woman told Jesus that she knew the Messiah was coming and He is
called Christ. He is coming and He will tell us what we need to know.
Jesus told her that He is the Messiah.
At this time, the Disciples returned
from the city and they couldn’t believe that Jesus was talking to a woman. And,
she was a Samaritan woman! They didn’t say anything, though.
The woman left her water jug at the
well and returned to the city. She told some men what Jesus had said and asked
if He could really be the Christ? They left the city and went to see Jesus at
the well.
Many of the people that lived in
Samaria believed in Jesus because the woman told them what Jesus had said.
Jesus knew all the things that she had done. The Samaritan people begged Jesus
to stay with them, so He stayed there for 2 days. There were many believers in
Jesus.
The people didn’t believe because of what
the woman had said, but when they heard what Jesus said, they knew He was
really the Christ that they were waiting for. He was the Savior of the world!
One application for this lesson is the different names that Jesus was called. The Samaritan Woman called Jesus the Messiah. She said He is called the Christ. This cornerstone printable from Cathy's Corner would be an easy way to discuss the names that Jesus was called in the Bible. Click here to see the post.
This worksheet was created to be used with the Names of Jesus Cornerstone printables. These do not have to be used together. (Logos are not on the PDF worksheets.)
To use these, print the color or fill-in-the-blank and/or the
teacher’s worksheet on page 3. Page 3 can also be used for students to follow
along or add to a workbook for reference.
Begin at the bottom left brick. Jesus is the Chief
Cornerstone. Continue to the right. When each row is complete, move to the
above row starting at the far left. I added the 3 on the bottom row to apply
The Samaritan Woman’s conversation and ended with Jesus and matching scripture. Click here to download.
