samaria

Acts Chapter 8 is full of persecution towards the early Church, a magician who does signs and wonders and an Ethiopian Eunich who gets baptized!  Through all of it the Gospel spreads and the most unlikely people become followers of Jesus!  Salvation is from Christ alone and is for anyone who believes!

El hermano Andrés Corrales, misionero en Montevideo, Uruguay; nos expone el tema titulado "Una mirada a un encuentro de Jesús" basado en Juan 4 (Jesús y la mujer samaritana). Reflexiona sobre una sita del principito "Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos" y desarrolla el pasaje bíblico, haciendo mención de que a Jesús "le era necesario pasar por Samaria" y nos hace reflexionar sobre la "indiferencia hacia los que se pierden".

Lee Juan 4:15–26

Un domingo después del servicio de adoración comencé una conversación con una familia que visitaba nuestra iglesia por primera vez. Después de algunos comentarios casuales, le mencioné al esposo que se parecía a una personalidad muy conocida en nuestra área. Para mi sorpresa, dijo: “Soy yo” ¡No me esperaba eso!

En Juan 4, Jesús continuaba Su conversación con la mujer que había conocido junto al pozo de Jacob en Samaria. Jesús le pidió a la mujer que fuera a buscar a su esposo. Ella le explicó que no tenía uno. Esto le dio a Jesús la oportunidad de revelar que ya conocía su historia (vv. 17–18). Cuando la mujer se dio cuenta de cuánto sabía Jesús sobre ella, concluyó que debía ser un profeta. Entonces ella aprovechó esta oportunidad para convertir la conversación en una discusión teológica sobre el lugar apropiado para adorar a Dios.

Jesús no dudó en profundizar más con la mujer. Él vio a través de lo superficial y la llevó a la verdad de que Dios busca a aquellos que le adorarán en espíritu y en verdad no important el lugar (v. 24). Confundida y avergonzada, la mujer exclamó que cuando viniera el Mesías “él nos explicará todas las cosas” (v. 25). Jesús se le reveló diciendo: “Ese soy yo, el que habla contigo” (v. 26). ¡Ella no esperaba eso!

Como la mayoría de los samaritanos, ella estaba buscando un Mesías que “enseñara” y lo consiguió. Jesús le enseñó a la mujer acerca del Mesías y para su sorpresa, ¡Él era el Mesías! Jesús era más que un profeta. Él era el que ella estaba esperando.

• Nuestro mundo está lleno de personas como la mujer samaritana. Creen en un dios o en un poder superior, pero no tienen idea de lo que eso significa. A menudo, debatirán contigo cuando trates de compartir la sencillez del evangelio con ellos. Ora para que el Señor te dé palabras que les hagan escuchar y ver claramente a Jesús por quién es.

Jesus encounters the Woman at the well who expresses a desire for "living water." However, a disconnect arises as she interprets this water in a literal sense, while Jesus offers something profoundly greater. He poses a question that not only reveals her personal shortcomings but also exposes the broader sins of her community. Let's delve into the profound significance of this question, often overshadowed, and explore the transformative impact it is poised to have on the woman and her community.

Philip was one of the original seven helpers in the church.  When he preached in Samaria, a well-known sorcerer (or magician) named Simon believed and became a Christian. Simon had only ever done clever magic tricks, so he was amazed when he saw real miracles performed. When the apostles came to Samaria, Simon noticed that they laid hands on people to give them the power to do miracles. Simon wanted to have that power. He offered to pay lots of money if the apostles would sell him the same power they had. One of the apostles, Peter, told Simon that no one can buy the power of God. God gives the power.

Bible verses used in this episode:

• Acts 8:5-25
• Psalm 77:14

Outline:

1. Philip preaches in Samaria (Acts 8:5-13)
2. The Apostles preach in Samaria (Acts 8:14-25)

Tips for teaching children:

• Draw a line down the centre of a sheet of paper from top to bottom to form two columns.  At the top of one column, write “Philip”, and at the top of the other, write “Simon”. Ask the class to read over the Scripture again and jot down what we learned about each of these men.  Once this has been completed, then go on to compare and contrast their teachings, actions and motivations. How are they similar? How are they different? Who do we want to be like?
• Research to find a simple magic trick.  Perform the trick for the children and then explain how you did it.  Discuss the difference between a trick and a miracle.

Tips for teaching adults:

•  As the teacher, here are some questions to ask that will help the class think about and reflect on the text:
  • From this text, what do we learn about Philip? 
  • What is significant about Philip going to Samaria to preach the good news of King Jesus?  Ask the class to think about what they know about Jesus and the Samaritans from the Gospels and how this relates to this story in Acts 8. 
  • Think about ethnically diverse people trying to worship together. What are some challenges these new Samaritan believers may face being embraced by the well-established Jewish believers?
  • What have you done to embrace others who are ethnically different from you?
• In the days before the class, contact a couple of class members and ask them to research the ‘Samaritans’.  They should consider the Samaritans' origin, history, beliefs, symbols, and relationship with Jews.  Ask these members to be prepared to share their findings in the next class time.  To help with the research, provide the following links:
  • International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Online
  • Bible Study Tools

As John was going about this mission, Jesus made His way through the crowd to be baptized by John. And though he did not fully understand why Jesus would make this request, he obeyed. As Jesus was coming up from the water, the skies opened and the people heard the audible voice of God for the first time in over four hundred years! This marked the beginning of Jesus’ ministry…and His temptation.

Little did he know that God saw this and made it known to his master. Gehazi and his descendants would be forced to carry the consequences of his actions forever.
