SOUL WINNING!!!

"Give me to drink". John 4:7. John's Gospel chapter 4, verses 1 through 42, we see Christ, the soul winner. As I was reading our Lord's interview with this woman, I noticed how her knowledge of Jesus increases until she acknowledges that HE IS CHRIST. He opened the conversation by speaking of something COMMON to the interest of them BOTH- WATER.Then He began to speak to her of SPIRITUAL THINGS- himself, the water of life. He soon captured her interest in spite of her initial hostility. Then He began to deal with her problem- SIN. Then she turned the conversation to an argumentative subject- satan will always do this when we share gospel with any one- NEVER GO THAT ROAD! She thought this would serve as a screen behind which she might hide from this man, from God, and from herself- sounds familiar? But Jesus, KINDLY but deft fashion, swept this all away until came to recognize who He was. Notice the gospel is changing her mindset- she addressed Him as a Jew (v9), Sir (v11 & 15), Prophet (v19) and finally Messiah (v25). Bible says, she left her intended task of obtaining water from the well, she hurried back to the townspeople saying "Come and see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the CHRIST?". In another words "She became the FIRST EVANGELIST". Now this is the pattern of soul winning! Don't tell it is very hard to win souls now a days. GOD HAS TIME AND READY, PEOPLE HAVE TIME AND READY, BUT YOU ARE THE ONE DON'T HAVE TIME. STOP THAT EXCUSE MY FRIEND, I AM NOT BUYING IT!!!
