Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and offers her “living water,” revealing Himself as the Messiah who gives eternal life. Despite cultural, ethnic, and moral barriers, Jesus meets her with truth and grace, exposing her sin while extending hope and transformation. Through their conversation, He teaches that true worship isn’t about location or ritual but about worshiping the Father “in spirit and truth.” The woman’s encounter with Jesus changes her life—she leaves her water jar, runs to tell her town, and many believe in Him because of her testimony. This story reveals Jesus as the source of new life, the revealer of true worship, and the Savior who seeks the lost and transforms hearts for God’s glory.

This message unpacks John 3:16–21, showing how God’s love is revealed in action through giving His “one and only Son” for the salvation of the world. Salvation is not gained through religion, ethnicity, or good works, but through faith in Christ, who was lifted up on the cross, bringing rescue from sin and condemnation. God’s love is universal, sacrificial, and costly, setting the standard for all love. Jesus came not to condemn but to save, offering eternal life to all who believe. Humanity’s response to Him reveals their standing: some reject the light, loving darkness and sin, while others come into the light, allowing God to transform their lives. The call is clear—believe and share the message.
