1 00:00:30,340 --> 00:00:30,660 All right. 2 00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:31,300 Good evening. 3 00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:33,780 The sun's still shining. 4 00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:36,180 He must have knew we were talking about him this morning. 5 00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:36,740 Amen. 6 00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:38,900 Open your Bibles to John chapter four. 7 00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:40,460 John chapter four. 8 00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:42,900 You know, this artificial intelligence is coming around. 9 00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:46,820 One of these days, these clocks in churches like this one 10 00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:48,900 could have artificial intelligence. 11 00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,340 And I figured on, you know, if I said, this is such a beautiful 12 00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:57,180 clock, it is such a nice clock, it's so handsome and so forth. 13 00:00:57,180 --> 00:00:57,940 Name is sharp. 14 00:00:57,940 --> 00:00:59,470 Maybe it'll give you a little more time. 15 00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:00,230 What do you think? 16 00:01:01,190 --> 00:01:01,990 What do you think? 17 00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:04,430 I think preachers ought to invent something like that, don't 18 00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:04,710 you? 19 00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:06,190 John, chapter four. 20 00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:07,110 John, chapter four. 21 00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:13,230 It is amazing that the music that was being played here and the 22 00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:15,870 songs that we were singing, because that's exactly what I'm preaching 23 00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:16,470 on tonight. 24 00:01:16,470 --> 00:01:19,030 The longer you went, the more it kept coming about. 25 00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:21,230 And I thought, wow, this is amazing. 26 00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:22,390 John, chapter four. 27 00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:25,980 This is one of my favorite stories, the Bible. 28 00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:28,700 Have a hard time not preaching it often. 29 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,900 And there's wrinkles in here to bring out off and on. 30 00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:34,780 And it's like the miracles of Christ. 31 00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:37,260 There's certain ones that are hard to stay away from. 32 00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:40,060 This one has a lot more to it. 33 00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:43,980 And just on the surface, just the story itself is outstanding. 34 00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:48,620 It's very moving, but with an Old Testament backdrop, it really 35 00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:51,380 sets it off because the writers of the New Testament write 36 00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:52,700 as though you know your Old Testament. 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,120 And when you get that in your mind, your Bible reads differently. 38 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,840 Because as you go through Matthew all the way through Revelation 39 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080 and you see these things pop up, you go, wow, that connects here 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,120 and that connects here and connects here and so forth. 41 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,280 And we try to do that in seminary, try to teach them the entire 42 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,840 Bible from Genesis to Revelation. 43 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,920 Their first year they study Genesis. 44 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:13,640 Their last semester, their last year, they study Revelation. 45 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,440 Brother Tunnel is a product of your investment out at the seminary. 46 00:02:18,830 --> 00:02:19,550 Jared Tunnell. 47 00:02:19,550 --> 00:02:20,910 And I can tell you a lot of stories about him. 48 00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:23,350 He pastored in his state, north here as associate pastor. 49 00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:24,350 I won't mention the state. 50 00:02:25,310 --> 00:02:26,350 I'm very humble. 51 00:02:26,350 --> 00:02:28,830 But anyway, look at John chapter 4. 52 00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:30,590 There's a word picture here. 53 00:02:30,590 --> 00:02:33,310 And this is a Holy Spirit word picture. 54 00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:36,910 This is one he set up years ago. 55 00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:40,910 I got over the idea, well, you know, this is kind of old time stuff. 56 00:02:41,390 --> 00:02:44,630 It's written several hundred years ago, several thousand years 57 00:02:44,630 --> 00:02:46,450 ago, as far back as you want to go. 58 00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:51,010 But the Holy Spirit knows It is 2026, amen. 59 00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:54,370 And when this story happened, he knew we'd be sitting here tonight 60 00:02:54,850 --> 00:02:58,530 and he knew that we needed to be spoken to. 61 00:02:59,010 --> 00:03:02,890 And recently I was asked my wife, how long ago it was around 62 00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:03,890 four or five years ago. 63 00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:06,490 When I asked my wife a question about dates, she always 64 00:03:06,490 --> 00:03:10,090 stop and she says, okay, when that happened, this was happening, 65 00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:10,890 and this was happening. 66 00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:12,210 And then she can tell me when it was. 67 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,440 And she told me, well, Candy was still the secretary out at the 68 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:15,960 seminary. 69 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,960 And this, that, whatever. 70 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,120 So I think about four years ago, we had that terrible ice storm. 71 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,600 And I've used this illustration before. 72 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,920 I've said to people, what if the water that you get your house 73 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:25,800 wasn't very good? 74 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,280 And I used to minister in a city where the little lake would 75 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:31,880 turn over. 76 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,600 And I don't care what you put in it. 77 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,920 I don't care what you put in your tea. 78 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,440 I don't care what you did. 79 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,430 It just had a terrible odor. 80 00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:41,060 I won't say what city it was, but it's not too far from here. 81 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:42,740 And it was just one of those things. 82 00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:43,900 And I didn't have to say anything. 83 00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:45,260 The locals said something about it. 84 00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:51,300 But when that ice storm came about four years ago or so, our water 85 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,060 was literally unusable. 86 00:03:53,140 --> 00:03:54,539 Because, remember, it froze over. 87 00:03:54,539 --> 00:03:58,580 And all the water sources and the plants and everything shut down. 88 00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:03,300 And the water all through our house was horrible. 89 00:04:04,110 --> 00:04:05,270 And it had stuff in it. 90 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:09,110 I mean, sticks and I mean grass and discolored. 91 00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:10,830 And people say, well, boil it. 92 00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:11,670 Boil it. 93 00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:12,590 Wouldn't do any good. 94 00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:15,790 And we were one of the last people to get water. 95 00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:18,110 Whatever our plant was out there north of us. 96 00:04:18,350 --> 00:04:19,710 We hadn't lived out there that long. 97 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:22,390 We were the last persons to get normal water. 98 00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:24,750 It was terrible and so forth. 99 00:04:25,070 --> 00:04:27,550 So as we look at this story about the woman at the well. 100 00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:30,750 Let me just say something to you that we can relate to this. 101 00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:32,430 We take our water for granted. 102 00:04:32,510 --> 00:04:36,670 And there's a few times where I didn't take one for granted anymore. 103 00:04:37,070 --> 00:04:39,710 And this is a classic story. 104 00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:40,590 Let me. 105 00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:42,510 I'm not going to sing tonight, okay? 106 00:04:43,790 --> 00:04:45,950 Your music director asked me to sing. 107 00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:48,030 And Brother Clark begged me not to sing. 108 00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:50,190 Daniel Barker and I were going to sing a special. 109 00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:53,150 Somebody else walked in a little bit ago, I noticed. 110 00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:54,510 We used to sing some together. 111 00:04:54,910 --> 00:04:56,350 And he doesn't sing with me anymore. 112 00:04:56,350 --> 00:04:56,950 I don't know why. 113 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:59,230 But anyway, listen to this. 114 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:00,960 Now. 115 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,400 There was a thirsty woman and she was drawing from a well all her 116 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,600 life was ruined and wasted and her soul was bound for hell oh, but 117 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,480 then she met the master and he told her all about her sins and he 118 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,200 said, if you drink this water, you will never thirst again. 119 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:28,630 There is a river that flows from deep within I got the joy, joy, 120 00:05:28,630 --> 00:05:31,070 joy, joy down in my heart Remember that. 121 00:05:31,070 --> 00:05:32,310 You just remember that song. 122 00:05:32,470 --> 00:05:33,390 That's all I'm singing. 123 00:05:33,390 --> 00:05:35,190 I'm under contract not to sing. 124 00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:42,109 There is a fountain and frees the soul from sin so come to this 125 00:05:42,109 --> 00:05:47,750 water There is a vast supply There is a river that never shall 126 00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:49,990 run dry It's a great song. 127 00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:53,290 I wish somebody could sing it, but I'm not going to even try. 128 00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:57,170 Father, bless the next several minutes and help us to open up and 129 00:05:57,170 --> 00:05:58,610 see this, what you gave us. 130 00:05:58,610 --> 00:05:59,930 It's just a great story. 131 00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:01,090 It's a great event. 132 00:06:01,090 --> 00:06:02,010 It really happened. 133 00:06:02,010 --> 00:06:03,850 And it happened just like it says it did here. 134 00:06:04,090 --> 00:06:06,370 Help us to enter into it and get the message. 135 00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:08,250 We pray these things in Jesus name. 136 00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:08,890 Amen. 137 00:06:08,890 --> 00:06:12,210 Let's get into the story and let's begin to make some applications. 138 00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:12,810 Okay? 139 00:06:12,970 --> 00:06:14,730 Verse 1, John, chapter 4. 140 00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:18,690 When, therefore, the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that 141 00:06:18,690 --> 00:06:21,290 Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. 142 00:06:21,910 --> 00:06:24,470 Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples. 143 00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:27,150 He left Judea and departed again into Galilee. 144 00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:31,830 So he's headed up north, and he must needs go through Samaria. 145 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:34,430 Now, anytime you read this, people always stop and pause there. 146 00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:35,830 And you have to, you need to. 147 00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:38,550 Because if anything, Christ showed us he didn't come just for 148 00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:40,110 the Jews, okay? 149 00:06:40,110 --> 00:06:43,910 He came for the half Jews, so to speak, and half Gentiles, Samaritans, 150 00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:44,990 roughly, according to that. 151 00:06:44,990 --> 00:06:47,790 There's a lot of history, the Assyrians coming in and shaking things 152 00:06:47,790 --> 00:06:49,030 up and leaving people behind. 153 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:50,790 It was kind of a mixed group. 154 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:53,270 And they were off with their religious concepts and so forth, 155 00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:55,170 as you know, as you're going to see here, fresh. 156 00:06:55,490 --> 00:06:58,690 But also he reached out obviously to the Gentiles completely. 157 00:06:59,090 --> 00:07:00,850 And I'm a Gentile. 158 00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:03,570 I'm glad he reached out to me. 159 00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,930 My wife's got a little Jewish blood in her, so I married her just 160 00:07:07,930 --> 00:07:09,250 in case, you know, just in case. 161 00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:14,810 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, 162 00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:19,330 near to a parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 163 00:07:19,950 --> 00:07:22,550 You can go back and read about that in Genesis, where he actually 164 00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:23,870 gave him this parcel of ground. 165 00:07:24,270 --> 00:07:27,030 Jacob did, when Joseph got back in the land and so forth and 166 00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,990 reunited with the family and connected, you know, even though 167 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:32,950 he went back and forth, he had that place for the inheritance of 168 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:33,390 his family. 169 00:07:33,790 --> 00:07:36,190 Because, remember, he was taken out of this picture for a while. 170 00:07:36,430 --> 00:07:41,870 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. 171 00:07:42,030 --> 00:07:44,670 Now, as we go through here, watch for water. 172 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,080 Well, thirsty, anything that has to do with water. 173 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,880 It just starts jumping off the page. 174 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,280 What this is stressing more than anything else. 175 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,680 It's stressing water. 176 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,080 Well refreshment. 177 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,880 Just kind of watch for this. 178 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:02,440 Anything has to do with water. 179 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,000 Let's see how it jumps off the page. 180 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,440 And again, by itself, it's fantastic. 181 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,760 It's just a great story, but it really connects, as you're going 182 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,640 to see in a few minutes. 183 00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:20,500 And so she comes there to draw water, and it says, jacob's well 184 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:20,980 was there. 185 00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:24,060 Jesus, therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus 186 00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:24,500 on the well. 187 00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,180 And it was about the sixth hour, that's high noon. 188 00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:30,460 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. 189 00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:34,300 Jesus saith unto her, give me to drink. 190 00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:36,460 Now, again, let me sup up the things. 191 00:08:36,460 --> 00:08:39,460 You know, it wasn't really appropriate per se, in their way 192 00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:39,860 of thinking. 193 00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:40,860 It wasn't immoral. 194 00:08:41,170 --> 00:08:44,450 It was just kind of a cultural thing that you didn't necessarily 195 00:08:44,450 --> 00:08:48,530 talk to a woman by yourself in this situation, especially the way 196 00:08:48,530 --> 00:08:50,930 you would frame this woman at this time in her life. 197 00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:54,130 And he's a Jew, he's talking to a Samaritan, and he's looked upon 198 00:08:54,130 --> 00:08:55,650 even as a rabbi, so to speak. 199 00:08:55,650 --> 00:08:59,210 Not in the official sense, but in the real official sense, because 200 00:08:59,210 --> 00:09:00,450 he's God of the universe. 201 00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:01,010 Amen. 202 00:09:01,330 --> 00:09:05,730 And so for him to be talking to her in that situation says a lot. 203 00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:10,040 And it tells you and I that obviously Jesus valued womanhood. 204 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Look at the women in Jesus ministry. 205 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:14,200 Amen. 206 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,560 And so he's got this interaction, and it says, his disciples 207 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,720 are gone away into his city to buy meat. 208 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,360 Now, there's meat, physical meat, and there's spiritual meat. 209 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,680 There's physical water, and there's spiritual water. 210 00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:36,490 And we might have a tendency to say, well, that physical water 211 00:09:36,490 --> 00:09:37,010 is pretty important. 212 00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:39,730 I mean, I'm for the spiritual, but that physical water is pretty 213 00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:39,970 important. 214 00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:42,690 Can I jump ahead and just tell you something right now? 215 00:09:42,690 --> 00:09:46,290 You are primarily physical, but you are secondarily spiritual. 216 00:09:47,330 --> 00:09:51,450 You have a terrestrial body at the resurrection, ultimately you 217 00:09:51,450 --> 00:09:55,810 will have a celestial body that's primarily spiritual and secondarily 218 00:09:55,810 --> 00:09:56,290 physical. 219 00:09:57,170 --> 00:09:58,850 Now, what all that means, I don't know. 220 00:09:59,540 --> 00:09:59,940 Okay? 221 00:10:00,180 --> 00:10:01,940 But it's in First Corinthians, chapter 15. 222 00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:02,980 The angels are like that. 223 00:10:02,980 --> 00:10:05,700 The resurrected body that Jesus had could appear and disappear, 224 00:10:05,860 --> 00:10:06,540 etc. 225 00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:07,380 That's where you're headed. 226 00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:08,620 This is a tabernacle. 227 00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:09,300 We're talking this morning. 228 00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:10,340 This is a temporary house. 229 00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:13,460 I am glad that this is a temporary house. 230 00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:17,660 When I was these young people's age, it didn't mean much 231 00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:18,100 to me. 232 00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:18,900 Okay? 233 00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:22,580 But it means a whole lot to me right now, since I turned 39. 234 00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:24,420 All right, look what it says here. 235 00:10:25,930 --> 00:10:29,010 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, how is it thou, 236 00:10:29,010 --> 00:10:32,570 being a Jew, asketh drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? 237 00:10:32,970 --> 00:10:35,370 The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 238 00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:41,370 Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift. 239 00:10:42,810 --> 00:10:43,690 The gift. 240 00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:46,330 Now listen, this is Jesus talking. 241 00:10:48,170 --> 00:10:50,010 I don't think I can hype this enough. 242 00:10:50,810 --> 00:10:52,410 I don't think I can make too much of this. 243 00:10:52,650 --> 00:10:54,250 This is Christ teaching. 244 00:10:54,410 --> 00:10:56,050 He's using an object lesson. 245 00:10:56,050 --> 00:10:57,530 You may not have a well in your backyard. 246 00:10:57,530 --> 00:10:59,530 You may have a well, okay? 247 00:10:59,690 --> 00:11:01,290 But this is Christ talking. 248 00:11:01,450 --> 00:11:03,222 And you know, right now we're 75. 249 00:11:03,304 --> 00:11:03,635 80. 250 00:11:03,718 --> 00:11:04,490 80% water. 251 00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:08,690 You know how important water is to our universe, by the way, how 252 00:11:08,690 --> 00:11:10,170 many have ever had pre flood water? 253 00:11:10,410 --> 00:11:12,650 Daniel Barker and his wife have had pre flood water. 254 00:11:12,650 --> 00:11:13,210 I know that. 255 00:11:13,370 --> 00:11:14,970 How many have ever had pre flood water? 256 00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:17,180 All water is pre flood water. 257 00:11:17,180 --> 00:11:17,700 Amen. 258 00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:19,220 Am I right? 259 00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:21,300 Is God making new water? 260 00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:23,780 Is there a hydrological cycle? 261 00:11:23,860 --> 00:11:25,060 Does water disappear? 262 00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:25,700 No. 263 00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:27,700 Are you listening? 264 00:11:28,180 --> 00:11:30,700 Okay, I'm trying to get you hooked, trying to get you to ask 265 00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:31,580 me to Brother Stu. 266 00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:32,860 Don't stop at seven, okay? 267 00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:33,700 But anyway, keep going. 268 00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:41,980 And it says here, if thou knewest the gift of God and who it 269 00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:44,820 is that is so key, because she's going to find out. 270 00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:47,060 And she comes to it slowly, as you'll see. 271 00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:52,740 And who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink, thou wouldest 272 00:11:52,740 --> 00:11:58,340 have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 273 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:03,860 That's Old Testament warning, by the way, who wrote the Old Testament? 274 00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:08,140 The person talking to her God, who at sundry times in divers manner 275 00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:10,580 spake of the fathers by the prophets, hath his last days spoken 276 00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:11,540 to us by his Son. 277 00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:13,910 Christ was their subject. 278 00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:16,430 And Christ, the spirit of Christ, according to Peter, was the 279 00:12:16,430 --> 00:12:17,670 writer of the Old Testament. 280 00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:20,110 A lot of times the Old Testament writers did not fully understand 281 00:12:20,110 --> 00:12:21,110 everything they were writing. 282 00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:23,990 That's what Peter tells us. 283 00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:25,750 Now look at the next verse. 284 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:30,390 The woman saith him, sir, thou hast nothing to draw with. 285 00:12:31,510 --> 00:12:34,150 And the well is deep. 286 00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:36,950 That's why it's still got water in it. 287 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,280 You're going to find out. 288 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,280 It's Jacob's well. 289 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240 And this is a few years after Jacob had lived. 290 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,840 This is about 2000 years after Jacob had been on the earth. 291 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,080 And it's still a great source of water. 292 00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,320 It's one thing to look down there and there's some water down 293 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,480 there. 294 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,000 And you Say, you know, at one time, this was a really good well. 295 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,720 Drop that candle down there and look. 296 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:57,200 See that? 297 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,480 At one time, it was still a wonderful source of water. 298 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,200 It had a spring down below it. 299 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,960 They tell us they don't know exactly where it was, but most people 300 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,280 think, as I understand it, they know where it is today. 301 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,040 And it still has water, very deep, because it was so deep and 302 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,960 it had a source. 303 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:16,880 Did I say it was deep? 304 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,760 I want to tell you tonight about the deepest well there is, 305 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,480 deeper than this one I touched on this morning. 306 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:27,720 And the well is deep. 307 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,840 From whence hast thou that living water? 308 00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:34,780 You can't give me water out here. 309 00:13:34,780 --> 00:13:36,340 You don't have anything to get it with. 310 00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:43,860 Art thou greater than our father Jacob? 311 00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:48,980 You remember when Jacob and Jesus wrestled all night? 312 00:13:50,020 --> 00:13:51,700 Why do you think they wrestled all night? 313 00:13:53,460 --> 00:13:55,900 How long do you think it would have taken Jesus to put him in a 314 00:13:55,900 --> 00:14:00,630 full Nelson scissor hold and a headlock? 315 00:14:02,070 --> 00:14:03,750 How long do you think could have gone on? 316 00:14:04,390 --> 00:14:05,590 They wrestled all night. 317 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:08,590 Because Jacob's just still, after all he's been through with 318 00:14:08,590 --> 00:14:12,590 Uncle Laban, he's going to face his brother, everything going 319 00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:12,870 on. 320 00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:17,030 He's still got a little bit of, I got to do this. 321 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:18,630 I've got to figure out something. 322 00:14:18,950 --> 00:14:20,590 He's got that offering going out there. 323 00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:26,360 He's got his wives bowing down and so forth, and he's just. 324 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,600 You got to bring him to the end of himself. 325 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,360 And I could just hear Jesus say, well, maybe a little. 326 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,800 Maybe a little greater than Jacob. 327 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,000 Jacob's name was changed to Israel. 328 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,040 You know who the greater Israel is? 329 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,640 Jesus Christ. 330 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,560 He's the one who has power with God and with man. 331 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,760 That's what Israel means. 332 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,360 He is ultimately Israel. 333 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,280 You can read that in Isaiah where it switches back and forth 334 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,080 between Israel, the nation, and Israel is Christ. 335 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,960 And it says, which gave us. 336 00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,240 Which gave us the well and drank thereof himself and his children 337 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,360 and his cattle. 338 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,800 Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh this water 339 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,640 shall thirst again. 340 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,120 He didn't say, yes, I'm greater than Jacob, but she's onto 341 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,400 something. 342 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,640 I mean, he's claiming something pretty amazing. 343 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960 So she's, you know, she's picking up on something. 344 00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:22,010 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall 345 00:15:22,010 --> 00:15:22,810 never thirst. 346 00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:25,890 But the water, the water, the thirst that drinketh the water, the 347 00:15:25,890 --> 00:15:28,810 well, the water shall never thirst that I shall give him shall 348 00:15:28,810 --> 00:15:29,770 be in him. 349 00:15:30,890 --> 00:15:32,250 Shall be in him. 350 00:15:33,850 --> 00:15:34,490 In him. 351 00:15:35,690 --> 00:15:37,690 I'm looking at a
