JESUS’ MODEL

3. Jesus created a thirst based upon those interests
4. Jesus used the physical to explain the spiritual
5. Jesus reveals the Christ

WHAT IMPACT WILL IT HAVE?

1. The woman left her waterpot [Her priorities are redirected]
2. “Come, see a Man…” [Physical Transformation]
3. “Could this be the Christ?” [Spiritual Transformation]
4. They believed because of the woman [Invitation to come]
5. They urged Jesus to stay with them [Invitation to learn]
6. “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.” [Invitation to Christ]

CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: THAT I WILL MEDITATE ON WHAT HAPPENED AFTER I “CAME AND SAW”, THEN INVITE ONE PERSON TO “COME AND SEE” JESUS"
