What is Meet me at the Well?

Meet me at the well comes from John 4, where Jesus met the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. This woman was known to be "living in sin" and no respectable man would have ever talked to her in public. But, the Gospel is for every person, no matter what his or her race, social position, or past sins. Jesus crossed all barriers to share the gospel, and all those that follow Him must do the same. Will you?

Jesus always met people right were they were. His actions were questioned by the religious leaders and this was his response: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Luke 5:31

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16

Let's GO be LIGHT in the darkness!
