Bible Text: John 4:5-30 | Pastor: Vicar Benjamin Hayter | Series: The Suffering Savior | God’s mercy and grace are revealed to those who deserve anything but. The Israelites who wandered the wilderness complained of no water. They didn’t deserve anything because of their sinfulness, yet God responds in mercy and grace, providing water from a rock. A marginalized Samaritan woman didn’t receive compassion from her community and didn’t deserve it from our Savior Jesus, yet she was given and shown mercy and grace and came to believe He is the Savior of the world. We, too, have one astray and deserve much less than mercy and grace from God Himself. Yet, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
