After explaining to Nicodemus why the Son of Man had come, the focus of John 3 shifts to the different ministries of Jesus and John the Baptist. John rejoiced that the time had come for his ministry to fade away, and for that of the Christ to be exalted. As we begin Chapter 4, we set the scene for an important meeting beside a well in Samaria.

Psalm 16, while known for it’s Messianic application, is ultimately a song of trust and hope in God. It can help us to understand that when we put our hope in God, he will take care of the things that need taking care of.

In this season of the year when there is so much anticipation for the celebration of Christmas, we pause to be reminded of why Jesus came. As we study this morning, we will look at some statements made by Jesus himself about his purpose for coming to the earth.

– Sometimes, it is good to be reminded of things, even if we haven’t really forgotten them. We may not forget that Christ is risen, but it should cause us to rejoice when it is brought to our attention. We may not forget the Lord’s promises, but it is no less meaningful to hear them repeated. In our text for tonight, we are reminded of some things that we probably haven’t forgotten about, but we are blessed through the reminder all the same.
