He must needs go
John 4:4

1. God tells us what we need to do.
1. God did not give Jesus a choice but gave a command.
• The Jews did not even talk to Samaritans. (John 4:9).
• There was hatred, prejudice, danger, different culture and many other reasons why not to go but God commanded it.
2. If Jesus could not disobey then how can we?
• James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin..
• God blesses the obedient and curses the disobedient.  Refusal to obey is daring God to curse you.
3. God commands us with the 'Great Commission'.
• Personally (ye)  go into all of the world  (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15).
• preach to the lost (Mark 16:15).
• teach the saved (Matthew 28:19).
4. If we are not personally involved in missions then we are disobedient and daring God to curse our life.
2. We need to deliver God's message in a way that they can understand.
1. Jesus gave her the message in a way that she could understand.
• He got her attention in John 4:7.
• He gave her a promise from God and did not tell her to trust Him because she thought He was just a man. John 4:13-14.
• After she asked for God's promise, He told her that she must deal with her sin. John 4:16-18.
• He dealt with the doctrinal error from her religion John 4:21-24.
• He told her how to have a personal relationship with God through God's Son John 4:26.
2. We must preach in a way that the people can understand.
• 1Corinthians 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
• In Thailand you can not quote scripture but must use the gospel of God.
3. God blesses His people who obey.
1. Jesus received personal provision and blessings John 4:31-34.
2. We are promised wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal if we personally participate in the 'Great Commission' John 4:36.
3. God promise eternal rewards to all who help with missions John 4:35-38.
4. In John 5 we see that God's people who trusted their religion and refused to personally obey God were cursed.

• If you are saved and personally involved in the 'Great Commission' then you will be blessed by God.
• Blessings are proportional. The more you give of yourself to do the 'Great Commission' the more blessings you have.
• If you are saved and not personally involved in the 'Great Commission' then you will be cursed by God.
• If you have not received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord then you will spend eternity in the 'lake of fire' if you do not get saved and you are not promised another chance. The only other time that Jesus passed through Samaria was on His way to the cross. He healed 10 lepers and only the Samaritan praised God for his healing. The religious Jews assumed they had salvation while refusing to give God His due, which is praise. They died lost. If you do not accept God's salvation when it is offered, and then respond as is due to God, you will die lost and you are not promised another chance to get saved.
