John 4:10

John 4:10

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Jesus gently redirected the conversation from her question to the bigger truth. She was focused on who He was socially; He was focused on who He was eternally — and what He could give.

Memory phrase: Jesus offers a gift beyond what we expect.

Talk about it: Jesus said 'if you only knew' — the woman didn't realise who she was talking to. What difference does it make when we realise who Jesus really is?

Prayer: Jesus, open my eyes to see the gift You are offering me right now.
