Discourse 19 “My Meat is to do the Will of Him That Sent Me The woman saith unto him, “I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.” Jesus saith unto her, “I that speak unto thee am he.” And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, “What seekest thou?” or, “Why talkest thou with her?” The woman left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, “Come see a man, which told me all things that ever I did:   Is not this the Christ?”   Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, saying, “Master eat.” But he said unto them, “I have meat to eat that ye know not of.” Therefore said the disciples one to another, “Hath any man brought him ought to eat?” Jesus saith unto them, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.   Say not ye, “There are yet four months , and then come

                       Discourse 18 Worship God “in Spirit and in Truth.” The woman of Samaria part II “Our Fathers worshipped in this mountain and ye say, that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.   Jesus saith unto her, “Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father.   Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.   But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.   God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him spirit and in truth.” --John   4:20--24   The woman of God recognized Jesus as the prophet of God.

Bible Discourse 17 The woman of Samaria

Discourse 17 The woman of Samaria Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob’s well was there.   Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw a water : Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink”   (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, “How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?”    for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, “If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that sat to thee, ‘Give me to drink’; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” The woman saith unto him, “Sir thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?   Art thou greater than our

Bible Discourse 16 Rejoicing in the voice of Bridegroom

Discourse 16 Rejoicing in the voice of Bridegroom After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.   And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salem, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.   For John was not yet cast into prison. Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.   And they came unto John, and said unto him, , “Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.” John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.   Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. “He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

Bible Discourse 15 God’s Love Gave to the world His Only begotten Son Dialogue with Nicodemus, part III (Conclusion)

Discourse 15 God’s Love Gave to the world His Only begotten Son Dialogue with Nicodemus, part III (Conclusion) “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned; but that he that believeth not he is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of only begotten Son of God. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.   For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh in the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest , that they are wrought in God.”                                                             --John 3:16—21 “For Go
