JESUS, OUR SAVIOUR

“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23.

“If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his

word is not in us” I John 1:10.

In Jeremiah 10:23, the prophet wrote, “O Lord, I know that the

way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”

Since we cannot save ourselves, we must have a Saviour. Although

we have sinned, God loves us and has sent His only begotten Son

into the world to die in our stead. But, to be saved, we must

accept this Saviour. Therefore, we must study to learn what He

wants us to do.

Let us study now to learn what a wonderful Saviour we have.

everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing:”

Jeremiah 31:15 — “Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in

Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for

her children refused to be comforted for her children, because

they were not.” (This was a prophecy about Herod killing the

children.)

Micah 5:2 — “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be

little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he

come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings

forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” (This tells us

that Bethlehem is to be the birthplace of Jesus.)

Psalms 72:1, 10, 17 — “Give the king thy judgments, O God,

and thy righteousness unto the king's son.”

“The kings of Tarshish and the isles shall bring presents; the

kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts” (Psalm 72:10). What

is this a prophecy of?

5

“His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued as

long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations

shall call him blessed” (Psalm 72:17).

Be sure you can say the books of both the Old Testament and

New Testament, and that you know their written names, too. Find the scriptures your teacher asks for.

JESUS, OUR SAVIOUR LESSON 4

Jesus Loves All People

Jesus Talked with the Woman at the Well John 4:3–30, 39–42

Memory Verse: John 3:16

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten

Son. tjat whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but

have everlasting life.”

Underline the correct words.

Jesus left Judea and went to (Perea, Galilee). He had to go

through (Samaria, Jordan). In the city of (Bethany, Sychar)

there was (Joseph's, Jacob's) well. Because Jesus was (tired,

troubled) he sat on the well about the (sixth, third) hour, or

noon. His disciples went into the city (to buy meat, to get a

colt).

A woman of (Judea, Samaria) came to the well to get water.

Jesus said to her, (“You should not get water here,” “Give me a

drink”). Because Jesus was a (Jew, Samaritan), the woman was

surprised that He spoke to her; for the Jews had nothing to do

with the (Samaritans, Galileans). In fact, the Jews (loved,

hated) Samaritans.

15

Jesus told her that if she had known who spoke to her, she

would have asked Him (to draw water for her, for living water).

She asked Jesus if He were greater than (Jacob, Abraham) who

gave them the well. Jesus answered by saying that a person

who drinks of the water He has to give will never (come to the

well again, thirst). The woman (wanted this water, walked

away).

Jesus told her to go and get her (father, husband). She said

she did not have a (father, husband). Jesus said she had

answered (correctly, falsely), because she had been married

(five, two) times and that the man she was with then (was, was

not) really her husband. The woman began to believe Jesus

was a (preacher, prophet).

The Samaritans worshipped in a (mountain, cave) and the Jews

worshipped in (Bethlehem, Jerusalem). Jesus said the time has

come when true worshippers will worship God (in spirit and in

truth, in their nearest city). The woman knew that when the

Messiah or the Christ came, he would be able to (help them,

tell them all things). Jesus said unto her, “I that speak to you

am he.”

When the disciples came back to the well, they were (happy,

surprised) that Jesus talked with the Samaritan woman.

She left her (waterpot, bonnet) and went into the (city, house).

She told all the men to come and see a man who told her (a

few things, all things she ever did). She asked, “Is not this (the

Christ, our forefathers)?” Because of the woman's report (a

few, many) Samaritans believed on Jesus. At the invitation of

the Samaritans, Jesus stayed with them (one, two) days. Many

more of them believed because of (Jesus' own words, the

woman's report). They said, “Now we (believe, guess) and

(know, doubt) that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the

world.

Jesus (loved, despised) these people of Samaria even though

they were not Jews, and even though the Jews did not like

them (very much, at all).

Here are some scriptures about the love of God and His Son,

Jesus Christ: find them in your New Testament and fill in the

blanks.

16

I John 4:8 — “He that does not ______, knows not _______;

for God is ________.”

I John 4:10 — “Herein is love, not that we _________ God, but

that he _________ us, and send his Son to be the propitiation

for our ________.”

____________us.”

Ephesians 3:19a — “And to know the _______ of Christ, which
