Living as Jesus Lived

“God used people to change other people.”

“To see people changed, ministry is to be personal and not long distance.”

Jesus went to needy people (Read John 4:1-46).
1. It was a divine necessity. “He need to go through Samaria.” John 4:34
2. It was a divine urgency. “My food is to do the will of Him that sent me.” John 4:34; Luke 19:10
3. It was a divine opportunity. “I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored, others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.” v.38; 4:35-43

Jesus “connected with”, “cultivated relationships”, and “cared for people.” The result was conversation.

Let’s live as Jesus lived.
