Well
To Remember: We must worship God in our hearts and according to the Bible
Vocabulary
Jesus told the woman that her water would only quench her thirst for a while. He had
water that would quench her thirst forever! The woman like that. She wouldn't have to
carry water every day. She asked how she could get this water. Jesus told her to bring her
husband to see Him. She replied that she had no husband. Jesus said, that's right. You've
been married before, but you are not now.
When the woman realized that Jesus knew all about her life, she thought He was a
prophet. She asked a common religious question about where to worship. Jesus said we
must worship in spirit and in truth; that's more important than the physical place. We
must worship in our heart and do what's right.
John 4:5-15, 19-25
5 Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that
Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well
about noontime.
water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink."
9 The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She
said to Jesus, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a
drink?"
10 Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would
ask me, and I would give you living water."
11 "But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket," she said, "and this is a very deep well.
Where would you get this living water?
12 And besides, are you greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well? How can
you offer better water than he and his sons and his cattle enjoyed?"
13 Jesus replied, "People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water.
20 So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship,
while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?"
21 Jesus replied, "Believe me, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether
you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem.
22 You Samaritans know so little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all
about him, for salvation comes through the Jews.

7 The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to
put me into the pool: but while I am coming,
another steps down before me.
8 Jesus said unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked.
Now it was the sabbath on that day.
There was a pool of water in Bethesda that was said to heal men if they dipped in it when
it stirred. Jesus approached a man who had been crippled for 38 years. He asked if the
man would like to be healed? The man said he couldn’t, because he couldn’t get to the
water when it stirred, because no one would help him. Jesus answered, “Rise, take up thy
bed and walk.” And he did.
Now it happened that it was the Sabbath day, and certain Jews told him it was sinful to
carry his bed on the Sabbath. They didn’t understand that a great miracle had happened.
The man told them he’d been healed and told to take his bed and walk away. He didn’t
know who it was that healed him. Later Jesus met him in the temple, and forgave him of
his sins. Then the man knew who it was. He told the Jews it was Jesus, and they sought to
punish Jesus for doing this on a sabbath. They did not understand the meaning of the
miracle, that Jesus was come from God.
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes
in him
will not perish but have eternal life.
Nicodemus was a Jewish leader who had seen the miracles Jesus had done. He believed
that Jesus had the power
and approval of God, but was afraid to be seen with Jesus in daylight. He came to the
Lord at night instead.
Jesus told him that in order to see God, one must be born again. Nicodemus did not
understand. How could a grown man
or woman become a baby again? He was thinking physically. Jesus was talking about
spiritual rebirth.
Being born again, in water, means baptism. It means you get a fresh start, a new life,
and forgiveness of sins.

Jesus said we all have to be babies again.

November 17 Lesson 3 Joseph's Coat
Main Points to Remember
1) Bragging can be hurtful to others
2) We must control jealousy, not let it control us
4 But his brothers hated Joseph because of their father's partiality. They couldn't say a
kind word to him.
5 One night Joseph had a dream and promptly reported the details to his brothers, causing
them to hate him even more.
7 "We were out in the field tying up bundles of grain. My bundle stood up, and then your
bundles all gathered around and bowed low before it!"
9 Then Joseph had another dream and told his brothers about it. "Listen to this dream," he
said. "The sun, moon,
and eleven stars bowed low before me!"
10 This time he told his father as well as his brothers, and his father rebuked him. "What
do you mean?" his father asked.
"Will your mother, your brothers, and I actually come and bow before you?"
11 But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father gave it some thought and
wondered what it all meant.
15 When he arrived there, a man noticed him wandering around the countryside. "What
are you looking for?" he asked.
16 "For my brothers and their flocks," Joseph replied. "Have you seen them?"
20 "Come on, let's kill him and throw him into a deep pit. We can tell our father that a
wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what becomes of all his dreams!"
21 But Reuben came to Joseph's rescue. "Let's not kill him," he said.
22 "Why should we shed his blood? Let's just throw him alive into this pit here. That way
he will die without our having to touch him." Reuben was secretly planning to help
Joseph escape, and then he would bring him back to his father.
23 So when Joseph arrived, they pulled off his beautiful robe
27 Let's sell Joseph to those Ishmaelite traders. Let's not be responsible for his death;
after all, he is our brother!" And his brothers agreed.

How did the woman think she would buy dinner that night? She trusted in God to provide
for her. She obeyed God's command,

etc) will be added unto you."

have to depend on what they can get for themselves.
