Breaking Barriers: Jesus' Unconditional Love and Acceptance

The fact that Jesus was insistent to go through Samaria is significant in this instance this shows that there was no mistake in going through Samaria and stopping at the well at noon in general women who wanted to draw water would go in the early hours of the day and with the group and this suggests that the Samaritan woman could have been a social outcast which adds to my following point. [01:00:20]

This woman was a Samaritan and Jesus was a Jew and the relationships between these two types of people were not particularly healthy at the time of Jesus so it is not surprising that the woman was impressed by his friendliness she probably would have been expecting some sort of insult from him in the Bible it also states that this woman had five husbands which of course was not appreciated although Jesus knew this without having to be told he was still willing to acknowledge this woman and talk to her. [01:00:33]

Overall this shows that Jesus still loves you no matter who you are or what you've done and I think some people bring over themselves that as soon as they have committed one sin Jesus doesn't love them anymore but this is not the case the God we believe in is is an all forgiving all loving God and we can't forget that and bring the negative over ourselves. [01:01:12]

If you haven't done so already this is your encouragement to say your Yes to Jesus because he loves you and will never leave. [01:01:25]

You want to know the Jesus who has relent chased after you since the day you were born the Jesus who is shephered you is just yearning for you to come into to the flock then we would just encourage you now come forwards and like step over that line make this the day where everything changes. [01:02:08]

But each equally if you're there's loads of us that kind of sit and we yearn at that point for someone to come forward and someone to make this the start of their kind of new life but there's also there that part of us I think where talks in Corinthians I was Christy and I were speaking about it this week where it's Corinthians 3 and he says um I had to nurse you and feed you with milk not the solid food of more advanced teaching because you weren't ready in fact you're still not ready to be fed solid food. [01:02:23]

What Paul's talking about that milk is that basics of Salvation that step and it's nothing like we don't earn it by making that step it's Grace he gives us it by Grace but if you want to step again not over that first line but step deeper into that solid food because the milk will get you so far but you have to stop having milk when you're a baby otherwise I don't know what would happen you'd maybe just say as a really small hat I don't know maybe there's people that do it but I can tell you something right it's not going to be good for you. [01:03:10]

It's not going to give you the nutrients you need that solid food that going deeper is what we need so if this is going to be your time where you step over that line into that new life knowing the God we know who loves us who these guys have sung about who who we've spoken about or if it's going to be that that time when you think no I want more I've had enough of rocking up on a Sunday had enough of doing you know whatever you're doing and maybe it's conviction maybe you've got that little feeling in your tummy that you're really like please don't go away I don't want to go up the front lean into it. [01:03:36]

We would love to these guys are going to worship we're going to pray for who however many people want to come forward so I would encourage you be brave step over the line step over the line again step so far over the line that you can't even see it and that would be that would just be the best decision I promise you either one of those lines is the best line you're going to ever step over.
