If We Only Knew - John 4:1-15
February 1, 2026
“If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Sometimes, knowing who you are talking to makes all the difference, and that is the point Jesus makes with the Samaritan woman at the well. Her problem was not that she had a question, but that she had the wrong question. Jesus redirects her attention to the real issue: “If you knew who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” This raises the most important question we can ask—who is Jesus? Is he a great teacher, a prophet sent by God, the Messiah, the Son of God, or all of the above? How we answer that question shapes everything about our lives.
