The Woman at the Well

Image
John 4:1–30 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of John. John was one of the friends and helpers of Jesus. And the word “Gospel” means “good news!” One day, Jesus was tired from traveling and sat down beside a well. A well is a deep place in the ground where people get water. A woman came to the well to fill her jar with water. Jesus surprised her by talking to her. Usually, people did not talk to her or treat her kindly. But Jesus did. He asked her for a drink of water, and then He told her something very special: “I can give you living water.” The woman was curious. She thought He meant water from the well, but Jesus meant something even better. He meant the love of God that never runs out. Jesus’ living water makes our hearts full of joy, peace, and love. The woman realized Jesus was not just any man. He was the Savior God had promised! She was so excited that she ran back to town, leaving her jar behind. She told everyone, “Come and see Jesus!” And many ...

John 1:4–5; John 8:12; John 9:5 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of John. John was one of the friends and helpers of Jesus. And the word “Gospel” means “good news!” Have you ever been in the dark? Maybe you were in your room at night, and it was hard to see. The dark can make us feel a little scared. But what happens when someone turns on a light? Suddenly, you can see everything again, and you don’t feel so afraid. The Bible tells us that Jesus is like that light. John wrote, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” That means no matter how dark things feel, Jesus’ light always wins. One day, Jesus told the people, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” Jesus wanted His friends to know that He helps us find the right way to live.
