<TITLE>09. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 Now, notice. "Thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel." That's what a real true Jew thought. But the other side said, "He's a fortuneteller. What? Because Jesus pronounced that horrible thing with no forgiveness, because they were calling the Spirit of God an unclean spirit, doing the thing that the Bible predicted He would do, and they would've done before them, they said It was of the devil. That was to never be forgiven.
Now remember, we Gentiles in those days were still heathens. We were worshipping idols. We wasn't looking for no Christ. But there was another class of people called the Samaritans. Now, Jesus came to His own. When He sent out His disciples, said, "Go not in the way of the Gentiles, but go rather to the lost sheep of Israel." Matthew 10.

L-32 Then notice, that when He... One day He... Saint John 4 now. He had need to go by Samaria. I wonder why. See, when God does anything one time, He's got to do it the same the next time, or He did wrong when He did it the first time. Then if God made Hisself known through Christ, manifesting it like that to the Jews, and called out the disciples in that manner; there was another class of people that was looking for Him, a Messiah to come. That was Samaria--Samaritans. And when these Samaritans, when they were looking for Him, Jesus had need to go by to see them.
And we know the story of Saint John 4 when He was--sent His disciples in to get some vittles. And then when they were gone in for this food, He set down over against the well, perhaps a panoramic, something like this. And being a Jew, yet about thirty years old...
I think the Scriptures kinda lead us to believe that He looked fifty, because in Saint John 6, they said, "You mean You saw Abraham? and You're not a man over fifty years old? Now we know that You've got a devil, and You're mad."
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM."

L-33 Notice. And here now at this--this Samar--the public well... Now, while they were all went up there for water, especially the women to get their daily water to do their cooking and whatever they had to do... All was away from the well at the time, and Jesus being weary in His way, tired, sit down on the side of the well.
Let's just for--for a drama sake, say, He's setting back in some grape vines, just leaning back, resting a little. And up come a--a lovely woman. Now, she was a woman that we believe to be of ill-fame, we Westerners. But she came up to the well to get some water. Maybe she didn't come with the rest of the women, because maybe the way she was living, we'd say. She couldn't come with the rest of them. And then... Yes, as Brother Clibborn said, "It could've been the wrong time for her to come."

L-34 And however, she was--came up to the well. And let's say she had a--a water pot on her shoulder, walking along. And she was thinking about something. She hooks the little hooks into the little pot, and she starts on the windle to let it down in the well. And she heard someone said, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
And she turned. She had not seen anyone when she ha--was approaching, or coming to the well. And she looked, and she saw a man setting over against the side of the well. And it was a Jew. And she quickly said to Him, "Oh..." In other words, "We got a law of segregation. You--You being a Jew, You have no right to ask a woman of Samaria such a question. We have no mixings, no dealings."
And He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, oh, you would ask Me for a drink." What was He doing? Now, you'll have to take my word for this. It's been Scriptural till right here. I believe that He was contacting her spirit. The Father had showed Him to go up there, because He said He did nothing until the Father showed Him. But then He was... He knew this woman was coming. But now what would be next, He doesn't know.
