Prayerfully read the Gospel of John chapter 4.
How do you think the ‘woman at the well’ would respond to the question – “Why does Christmas mean to you?”
Just like this woman at the well, great things happen as we encounter Jesus, walking by faith in His Word.
Reflect to the time when you first entered a relationship with the Savior.
Do you remember really desiring to please Him, to put a smile on His face, so to speak? Was a longing to please Jesus part of your “new birth” experience?
When you think back on this time, did you desire to:
Put away certain things, attitudes, or behaviors from your life? Avoid certain familiar patterns and places?
Flee certain activities and acquaintances?
Meditate upon God’s Word?
Worship with fellow Christ-followers?
Share your experiences with Jesus with other people?
Complete as many of these sentences as you can:
As I think back upon my experience of embracing Jesus as my Savior,I recall these thoughts of wanting to please Him: ________________________________________________________
“Lord Jesus, I desire to please You, to “walk worthy” of my calling. I dread displeasing You and I sense the Holy Spirit touching my heart, giving me a deeper motivation to yield to You in these ways: ______________________________________
