“7Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’ ... 9The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, ‘You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?’ 10Jesus replied, ‘If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.’ 11‘But sir, you don’t have a rope or a bucket,’ she said, ‘and this well is very deep. Where would you get this living water?’ ... 13Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. 14But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.’ 15‘Please, sir,’ the woman said, ‘give me this water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to get water.’ 16‘Go and get your husband,’ Jesus told her. 17‘I don’t have a husband,’ the woman replied. Jesus said, ‘You’re right! You don’t have a husband—18for you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now. You certainly spoke the truth!’ … 25The woman said, ‘I know the Messiah is coming—the one who is called Christ. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.’ 26Then Jesus told her, ‘I Am the Messiah!’” John 4:7, 9–11, 13–18, 25–26 (NLT)

To turn from your sin, give your life to Jesus, follow Him, and have an ongoing relationship (not religion) with Him
“27Just then His disciples came back. They were shocked to find Him talking to a woman, but none of them had the nerve to ask, ‘What do you want with her?’ or ‘Why are you talking to her?’ 28The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, 29‘Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could He possibly be the Messiah?’ 30So the people came streaming from the village to see Him.” John 4:27–30 (NLT)

“39Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, ‘He told me everything I ever did!’ 40When they came out to see Him, they begged Him to stay in their village. So He stayed for two days, 41long enough for many more to hear His message and believe. 42Then they said to the woman, ‘Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard Him ourselves. Now we know that He is indeed the Savior of the world.’” John 4:39–42 (NLT)

“31Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, ‘Rabbi, eat something.’ 32But Jesus replied, ‘I have a kind of food you know nothing about.’ 33‘Did someone bring Him food while we were gone?’ the disciples asked each other. 34Then Jesus explained: ‘My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing His work. 35You know the saying, “Four months between planting and harvest.” But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest. 36The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!’” John 4:31–36 (NLT)
