Across the Street, Around the World

by Alistair Begg

John 4:1–42
 (ID: 3146)

During His earthly ministry, Christ modeled how to share the claims of Christianity and invite people to turn to Him. However, as Alistair Begg reminds us, it’s all too easy to miss sharing the Gospel because of our own preoccupations. By contrasting Jesus’ words to the Samaritan woman and her response with the words of the disciples, we see how easy it is to focus on the wrong thing. As we encounter the unsaved around us, we should seek to lovingly share the Gospel as we learn from the example of Christ.
