John 4:25

John 4:25

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

She was waiting for the Messiah — even as a Samaritan, she held this hope. And she was speaking to Him right now without knowing it. The moment of revelation was one breath away.

Memory phrase: She was looking for the Messiah — and He was right there.

Talk about it: The woman was looking for the Messiah without realising she was already talking to Him. Does that ever happen to us — we look for something we already have?

Prayer: Jesus, open my eyes to see You when You are right in front of me.
