St Marcus Mke Sermons

This week we will be studying John 4:1-41 under the theme “Living Water.” Jesus’ insistence on ministering to a woman in Samaria with a scandalous moral lifestyle stands in stark contrast to his previous conversation with Nicodemus in John 3. Jesus teaches us here that not only does his gospel work for everyone, but that it’s necessary and life-changing. To the degree you understand this good news, you too will go and tell about this Messiah. The Gospel of John, written a couple decades after the other Gospel records, focuses less on the facts of Jesus’ ministry and more on the meaning of those facts. John frequently refers to Jesus’ miracles as “signs” – i.e. signals that point us to something even more significant than the miracle itself. John teaches us that Jesus is the “Word Incarnate” who dwelt among us, loved us dearly, and gave our lives eternal meaning.
