SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
Matthew 4:5-42
Matthew 4:5-42
Jesus leads the woman along a wonderful journey towards a deeper and fuller life. You can enter the story with Jesus, the ideal leader, parent, teacher or spiritual guide. Notice how he meets the woman
where she is, needing her assistance, how he is patient with her, but also challenges her to grow to what she is capable or. Perhaps you have been such a teacher, or you can recall people who were.
You can also enter the story from the perspective of the woman’s journey. Notice the steps along the way: suspicion, distrust, curiosity, misunderstanding and conversion. Her journey was one in which a very human motivation attracted her to jesus; the thought of having water in such away that she did not have to come and draw it from the well. What have been the human motives that have attracted you to faith, prayer, religion, church and which have been stepping-stones to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus? Perhaps we can also see the same movement in the growth of some of our human relationships.
The woman’s final tactic is to attempt to buy time before responding (v.25 - it will all happen sometime in the future. Jesus points out that the time for a faith response is NOW. How have you discovered the importance of the NOW moment?
