John 4 · Grade 3
Never Thirsty Again
Read the Story
Jesus traveled through Samaria. Tired, He sat by Jacob's well at about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus asked her for a drink. She was surprised, because Jews did not usually talk to Samaritans.
Jesus said whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again. But the water He gives becomes a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Jesus knew all about her life, so she said He was a prophet. Jesus said true worshipers worship the Father in spirit and truth. The woman said the Messiah was coming. Jesus said, I am he, the one who speaks to you.
The woman left her jar and told her town to come and see. Many Samaritans believed. They said Jesus is truly the Savior of the world. Later in Galilee, a royal official begged Jesus to heal his son. Jesus said, Go your way. Your son lives. The boy was healed at that very hour.
