Immanuel Lutheran Church & School

This week as a congregation we will read John 4-14.  I encourage all of us to look with Jesus and his discussion with the Samaritan woman.  The Samaritans were disliked by the Jewish people.  The Samaritans were seen by many as those standing on the outside of God’s love. 

Jesus comes and brings His love to the Samaritan…and now to you and I.  No one is outside the bounds of God’s love.  Jesus wants all people to hear of Him, believe in Him, and live in Him.  This is why Easter is so important for the majority of the world.  God’s love was opened up to the Gentiles, to the Jews, to anyone who believes that the Messiah has come and given His love to the world.

Jesus came and chose His creation for salvation.  Jesus calls all of us to a knowledge, faith, and relationship with Him.  Our church body has embarked on a noble goal of reaching 100 million people with the Gospel, that is that Jesus Christ, came, died and rose for you! 

May you and I this week as we read through the Gospel of John, see God’s love and glory for all people.

God Bless your week!

Serving Christ Together,

Pastor Greg
