Creamed Comments mt the Sunday School Lesson. Jesue Crosses Boundary Lines. John 4: 1-42 for Sunday 26 Jesus set an example of effective personal evangelism liegardlese of rate. V I '’And he must needs go through Samaria." Samaria and its people were despised by the Jews. Jesus would remove this barrier by going through Samaria. The test of Christianity is found in the way it works. V. 5. "Tin n cometh he to a city of Samaria, whit h m called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his sons.'' Here was a sacred spot the history and influence of which need* to be redeemed. V. 6. "Now Jacob's well was there t Jesus therefore being wearle with his journey, rat thus on the well; nd it wan about the sixth boar.” Jesus posseted with a human body was Hied and hungry at the noon hour; hence, he rested whll* the disciples went for food It is Christian to care for the human body but unchristian to make the first physical life. V 7. "There cometh a woman of .Samaria to draw water; J<«tw saith to iier. Give me to drink." Carrying water was menial work assigned to women who were not regarded on a par with man Heie was a situation that offered Christ an opportunity. He used tact In asking for a drink V. 9. "Then saith the woman unto him. How is it that thou being a Jew, asketh drink of me. wbich am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans?" This quest ion Jesus did not answer directly. A friendly conversation is the first requisite in soul-winning Jesus was friendly, easy to approach, and ready for communion with any who would respond to his appeal. V In. "Jesu# answered and said unto her. If thou kite west the gift of God and whe it is that saith to thee. Give me to drink; thou woiiidest have a-ked him. and he would have given thee living water." Jesus took the attitude that litis woman was spiritually ignorant and he aroused her curiosity and whetted a spiritual appetite in referring to a gift of God. Even our curiosity is aroused to know what that gifts may Im-. By following Christ's teaching, the answer fChurch S !

may lie found. V. 27. "And upon this came bis disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said. What seeketh thou? or why talketh thou with her?" Evidently the disciple* were shocked to see their Ixtrd stoop to the level of a despised Samaritan woman. They, as we. did not know the sacredrevs of human personality. V. 2- "The woman then left her waterpot,and went her way into the city and saith to the men." imamiue how excited this woman was to relinquish her task of carrying water; she waw consumed with her new discovery: hence, *Jie thing of greatest importance was to tell her experience to others It is in the divine plan that we do something with every revelation we get from God: here is the place for Christian witnessing V. 29. " Come, see a man. which told me all things that ever I did: la not this the Christ?" Jesus had uncovered her sin even the very secrets of her heart: this produced conviction of sin. a very great neceesity in the process oi salvation Jesus never treated sin lightly and neither dare we. Next after the confession of sin is the confession of Christ. V. 39 "And many of the Samaritan of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified. He told me all that I ever d’d." What tbs- woman witnessed concerning Christ implied a supernatural element in Christ; eb does witnessing to a transformed life in him today. No one can measure the great influence of a sincere simple Christian convert V4O "Ho when the Samaritans were come unto him. they liesought him that he would tarry with him; and he abode there two days.” Jesus received his heartiest welcome here in al! his ministry. Jesus is wanted most today In the backward list lone; hence the need of missionary work. Vs. 41.42. "And many more believed because of his own word; and said unto the woman. Now we believe, not of thy saying; for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. Here te a real Christian testimony batted on a personal experience, which is the real purpose of Christ's coming to earth.
