What does John 4:36-37 imply?
The person who “sows” or first tells
someone about Jesus may not be the one who gets to witness him or her get
saved. But both the sower and the reaper will “rejoice
together” in heaven if they haven’t already on earth.
Do Jesus’ words to the disciples sound congratulatory or admonishing?
Admonishing.
Why?
Between them and the Samaritan woman, who was more qualified to tell the
people of Sychar about Jesus?
Why did the “many” (John 4:39) Samaritans believe in Jesus?
Many believed simply based on the woman’s account.
Why might they have been intrigued by what she had to say?
Since she was on her sixth “husband” (John 4:18), she may have had a
‘reputation’ in town, and her announcement that “He told me
everything that
I ever did” (John 4:29) may have perked some ears. This also means that she
risked or took on personal embarrassment for a chance to tell people about Jesus.
Would you?
Why or when did “many more” believe in Jesus as “the
Christ, the Savior of the World” (John 4:42)?
After having heard “His word” (John 4:41)
for themselves.
It’s imperative for what you believe to be grounded directly in the
Bible,
which you must know for yourself. The everlasting destination of your soul
is too important for you to entrust it to any person regardless of how
learned or sincere they may seem.
