The Evangelist — Don Courville

The Evangelist as a Soul Winner

A soul winner. He that wineth souls is wise, Proverbs 1130. And he's sort of like, I used to play softball back in my younger days, and if I wasn't pitching I was playing a position called the rover. You had your nine men on the team, but in softball, especially in slow pitch, you had a position called the rover.

And the rover could just play wherever he wanted, usually out behind the shortstop, and he can move over behind the second baseman. But the evangelist is sort of like that. He just roves around. And they're a special breed.

Evangelism as Proclaiming the Good News

And so I'm going to talk to you about the evangelist. This word, evangelist, evangelism, all comes from one root, one root. And so it's basically evangelist is just the teller of the good news. And the root of this word evangelize or evangelism, evangelistic or whatever you want to call it, there's just three words there, but all has this root.

It's the good news, glad tidings. And it's used for many times preach, and I don't want to go into, they'd come preach the gospel, they'd preach the gospel, they would preach the good news, proclaim the gospel is the good news, the tidings.

It's very simple and we know these things. The evangelist, with a distinctive ministry, an evangelist has basically one thing on his mind, and that's winning souls to Christ. And so I'm going to take you through, and this word is used, it's very prominent in the New Testament.

It's used 125 times, but to refer to the evangelist himself, it's only three times. And so I'm going to go through this. Somebody's doing the talking, that's an evangelist. Somebody is needing to hear, that's the unsaved soul, the evangelist.

The world needs the evangelist, Jesus Christ. That's what somebody called him. The world needs it. It's the good news. Now, I'm going to try to share with you something that I believe is very dear to the heart of God, and as far as how well I can do it, you just pray, because I don't think I can do it very well.

But by the mercy of God, we'll trust that God will speak to us. Some years ago, there was an evangelist in a crusade, and when he was done, he went back to talk to three young men. And he had a real burden on his heart.

I mean, God has just put pain in his heart for these three young men. So he went back to talk to them back in the back. He noticed that their attitude was not the most spiritual in the meetings, and so as soon as he came up to talk to them, one of them said, hey, tell me, how far is it to hell?

And the rest of them snickered and laughed, and then they got up and went out, and he said, wait, I'd like to talk to you. They didn't want to talk. They got in their car, and they peeled out. You know how young men will do.

If they don't buy their tires, they don't care much about the rubber. Back in the days I was raised, anyway. I had one cousin that went through a new set of tires in six months. The last set, I think.

But listen, they went down the road, and in a few minutes, a state trooper came back to the meeting. He said, does anybody know anything about three young men? They had a wreck down the road. They missed a curve, and they split their car in two.

Does anybody know about these young men? And of course, they all jumped in their cars real quick and drove down there, and they found three bodies of these young men. Within a few minutes, they were in hell.

How far is it to hell? Just two and a half miles is how far it was for them to hell. And God has put us on this earth for a purpose, and that is to share the good news. Who is the evangelist? Who is the evangelist?

The Evangelist's Calling and Roving Ministry

Bunyan said this, he's a man who has his eyes up to heaven. The best of books was in his hand. The law of truth was written upon his lips, and he stood as if he pleaded with men. That's the evangelist.

The interpreter said he's one of a thousand. He's a rare one to find, and so we're going to study about the evangelist a little bit. I'm going to start off about his work, and I've been trying to sort of put some kind of outline together on things, like on the fear of God.

I was trying to put things together so you can follow, but his work is pray, and preach, and pray, and preach, and pray, and preach. And then in his spare time, he's going to pray and preach some more.

God puts it into his heart to proclaim the gospel. Now, he's a gift to the church. In one of the references in 2 Timothy 4, 5, and I'll probably come back to this a little bit later. I didn't even mark it, but Paul told Timothy to do the work of an evangelist.

Not that he was an evangelist necessarily, but to do the work of an evangelist. The evangelist is a gift to the church. In Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 11 in the five giftings mentioned, he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists.

How many times have you stopped to check out on the old boy called an evangelist? And some pastors and teachers. So, I thought it might be interesting to do a little bit of studying. He's really, he's a gift to the church, and he's given to the church to encourage us, and he's an itinerant type.

Eusebius said in the early church, he was an early church historian, he says that those occupying the first steps in succession from the apostles set out on journeys from home and performed the work of evangelists and preached to such as had not yet heard the word of faith.

Pantrus, another of Alexander, he said, who journeyed, Pantrus of Alexander, who journeyed as far as India, being one of many evangelists of the word after the manner of the apostles. So, the apostles were evangelists.

Hussite, a Hussite evangelist from Bohemia, he went over to Scotland, his name was Peter, and he was preaching the gospel over there, and he was rewarded by being burnt at the stake. So, it can be a hazardous occupation.

So, he's a gift to the church. It's also an office, which I think is very interesting because hardly have you ever heard of an evangelist being ordained like they might do elders or deacons. I don't think I've ever seen one ordained to the evangelistic ministry.

They are just born and ordained by the Spirit of God, I believe, and they take off running. They preach with pay or without pay, they preach in comfortable places and uncomfortable places, they preach on streets, they preach in cathedrals, they'll preach wherever they can go.

Examples of Evangelistic Ministry

There's been some great ones that we've known, and I've just listed a few to go over. These are well-known, not that there's lesser ones, but here's some, George Whitfield and Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, McChain, Spurgeon, and some of these had to preach out the doors because the clergy, so to say, didn't like their style or they would not get their license or whatever, but they would just preach.

It was a burning in their bones. And others like Finney and Moody and Sunday, Sam Jones, or James Stewart. In more modern days, James Stewart was a powerful man of God. I've got a book on this subject.

I was looking at some of the things he said, and actually, I could spend several weeks covering this topic, but I just plan on doing it today. But you got others like James Kennedy coming along with his evangelism explosion techniques, and then some that maybe you don't know, but I know these men.

These are men that I've had contact with in one way or the other, some quite a bit of contact and some just to be there. Not all of them. There's a couple here I haven't really personally met, but like Bill Stewart, he is an evangelist.

He's the man that discipled me that's an evangelist to the servicemen over in Korea. Mike Morris with CEF in Missouri here. Don Curran goes to the churches. Harold Vaughn. John Musser, the evangelist that was in our revival, is now evangelizing in India, going into places, researching and going into places that nobody's ever gone before to preach the gospel.

A very difficult task, but God is rewarding him, sort of working in the way of Gospel for Asia with K .P. Yohan and another one. Ralph and Lucitaire, working in the revival ministry, and Jules Loestrander, one of the men in our revival, has now got the burden of God to reach out to Muslims.

The pastor that used to cause everybody to tremble in the church that I worked with when he'd knock on the door, now he's just an apostle of love going, and that's the only thing I understand that a Muslim can't handle is love.

And they say love them, they can't handle that. And then others, Lloyd Spear, Al Whittingill. Al Whittingill was with us over in Scotland back in, was that 07? And we were, I told you about this, we were at the Church of the Coventeers and looking that over, look at the graves and things, and there was a tour group there, and this tour guide was talking about this dog that stayed there with its master, and after the master died, and they buried him, and they let him stay in the graveyard.

And she's talking about that, and Al just couldn't take it anymore. He said, excuse me, could I say something? And he jumped in there and gave a little bit about the history, and then started preaching Christ to them.

And let me tell you, they loved it. I'm telling you a lie. They didn't love it. They couldn't wait to get rid of him. But he couldn't stand it. He jumped in there. I loved it. It was great. My type of stuff there.

Great, Al. And then when they were getting very uncomfortable, then it was time to make our exit. But he took that opportunity. Vernon, you would love Al Whittingill. He was a great, great preacher. And then there's others.

Ray Comfort, we know about him. Mark Cahill and Jerry Whitesell right here in Springfield, a soul winner, working the fairs here. Okay, they usually don't work in just a certain denomination. They look to God for direction and all of these different things.

The Evangelist's Office and Responsibility

Somebody brought up in this area of the office is such a high calling of God that they are listed with elders. And so they would have the qualification of elders. And I'll say something about that in a minute.

But Paul, Spurgeon said Paul to Timothy was not calling Timothy to the office of an evangelist, but to the work itself, to make soul winning a part of his ministry. And I've got this little book here.

I'm going to share some stuff with you. I want to get back. I'm going to take one of these evangelists today and really take you into his heart and take you in. He's one of the greatest that probably ever lived in this world.

And his name is Spurgeon. This was given to me by one of my lovely daughters six years ago on my birthday. It's C .H. Spurgeon on spiritual leadership. And there's a chapter here. When God was burdening me on this, I said, what did Spurgeon teach on this subject of the evangelist?

And there's a whole chapter called A Passion for Lost Souls. And I want to take you into his heart on how he felt about this subject. And so I'm going to work my way towards the back and then share several things that he's shared.

But let me keep on moving here and go through some things. There's the responsibility of the evangelist, and that is to preach Christ. And the Holy Spirit is the one that puts that on him. Nobody really comes, okay, you have got the responsibility to be an evangelist and preach Christ.

It's in their heart. They're going to preach with or without it. Preaching, preached, and preaching, preachers, well, the words preach and preaching are used many times. If you want to go to your strongs, it's these three Greek words, 2097, 2098, and 2099.

2099 is the term for the evangelist himself. The gift in Ephesians there 411. And then there is, I might as well mention the other references, Ephesians 411, 2 Timothy 4, 5, and then Acts 21, 8, which is referring to Philip as the evangelist.

But in there, responsibility is to help the church, to edify the church. And they might make us feel bad or try to make us feel bad because we don't do what they're doing. But I'm going to share something with you, I believe, that I've had a conviction of for many years, and that is that the whole church is to do the work of the evangelist.

And that's probably why so few are just calling an evangelist. And you might question, is that true? Well, we'll go through here and we'll see if I've got any backup on that. They are men that live with no selfish ambition.

They're really, if they're true evangelists, they're not going to say, God has told me that you are supposed to take up an offering so I can buy me a new Rolls-Royce. They are not going to take advantage of poor widows and things like that.

They're wolf evangelists if they're like that. But they come along and they help the church. I remember when my evangelist friend Lloyd Spear, who I was around for many years, we went through Bible college and everything, he came to our first church and he asked me if I'd ever seen God do something in somebody's life there in the preaching there.

And I said, no, really. He said, we need to pray over this church building. And he did. He prayed over everything. He prayed over the duck work and he prayed and he was there for services. And that night, God the Holy Spirit moved amongst us and did some things.

And so they come along to help us maybe get unstuck. And they have to pay a price for their preaching. And it's a price of suffering. It's a price of suffering. 2 Timothy 4, 5, if I should have marked this, but just listen to this, what he said, but watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

So he said, endure afflictions. Generally, they will probably have some pretty hard times. I don't know if you know how much suffering Spurgeon went through. I was reading a little bit here in this back on page 112 about some things about his suffering.

And we know that he was, he said, this is a whole chapter that he wrote on a willingness to suffer, a willingness to suffer. And the things that he went through, especially at first, I was sharing to one of my daughters as we was driving some things he went through.

Because when he started preaching, the, you may not know that, but the times when he started preaching there in London, just a young man of like, I think 19, he started preaching back as soon as he got saved.

But when he began to pastor this church, the church is in that town, the pastors are sort of like in competition to see who could be the greatest preacher and give the fanciest sermons and all of this and fancy words, you know.

I knew a pastor one time when he spoke, most of what he said went over our head. I had a Greek teacher like that too, just out of seminary. And when he spoke, everything was going over my head for sure, you know.

You got to bring it down. Spurgeon brought the gospel down to where the common people could hear and understood. And so almost overnight, that church was just transformed with crowds of people coming in.

Because all of a sudden, Christ was being preached without thrills and frills. And they could understand and the Spirit of God could speak to their heart and they could believe and get saved. And so he received a lot of opposition.

It was grievous, the things that were said about him. And so this chapter goes into those things. I won't really, I'm not going to read much on this, but I'll say this. He said, I am content to be criticized, misunderstood, and misrepresented.

He wouldn't defend himself. I tried that one time and it just goes from worse to worse to worse. And he said, the cost was counted long ago. The estimate was so liberal that there is no fear of its being exceeded.

I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I committed unto him against that day. And by the way, the man that wrote this book is Steve Miller. And this is a Moody Press book.

It's a tremendous, tremendous thing on the life of, I count it one of my treasures in my books and I'll loan it to you if you want to borrow it. But he said, give me the comforts of God and I can well bear the taunts of men.

Let me lay my head on the bosom of Jesus and I fear not to be, I fear not the distraction of care and trouble. If my God will ever give me the light of his smile and grant his benediction, it is enough.

Come on, foes, persecutors, fiends. I, Apollyon himself, for the Lord is my son and shield. Gather ye clouds and environ me. I carry a sun within. Blow winds of the frozen north. I have a fire of living coal within.

Yea, death slay me, but I have another life, a life in the light of God's countenance. And they slandered him, wrote about him, gossiped about him. And this author said, he didn't divide his energies between the Lord's work and defending himself.

He preferred to stay wholly focused on his ministry and leave the detractors in the Lord's hands. And you know, God does do something to detractors. And so that was a little bit on paying the price of suffering.

Prayer, Integrity, and the Evangelist's Cost

The evangelist has to suffer a great deal, but he has to pray. Isn't it interesting that when the church is getting going and in Acts in chapter 6 and verse 4, they would give themselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the word.

Romans 12, 12, to continue instant in prayer. James Stewart, who I mentioned earlier, he said, what a minister, he quoting from John Owen, one of the great Puritans, what a minister is on his knees in secret before God is that he is and no more.

And so the evangelist's ministry is basically or any of our ministry is no deeper and no father and no powerful any more than our time of prayer. And out of our prayer will come the ministry. I remember when we had our revival 25 years ago, God came along in a powerful way that evangelist John Musser would spend hours praying.

I never seen anything like that. And when he'd come out, his face would be glowing. You spend hours all day even with God and it will happen to you. But these men had to be men of prayer and they had to be men of high integrity.

Stewart said, the evangelist must be always on the watch. Let Satan gain an advantage over him. Be very careful how he carries himself. The devil will get in there any way he can. So high integrity. You know, Paul said he wouldn't even eat meat if it would offend.

He wouldn't even eat meat if he would offend. In 1 Corinthians 9, he is so focused. Just listen, let me read a few verses to you in 1 Corinthians 9. Of this focused evangelist in verse 12, he said, for if others be partakers of this power over you or not we rather nevertheless we have not used this power but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

And it said in verse 11, if some have sown you spiritual things, it's a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things, trying to address an area of flaw. But he goes on in verse 14, he says, even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

16, for though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of, for necessity is laid upon me. Yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel. What is my reward? In verse 18, he said, then verily that when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge.

That anytime you hear the word gospel, this is the term for evangelists. That I abuse not my power in the gospel. That is his theme, the gospel. In 23, he says, and this I do for the gospel's sake that I might be partaker thereof with you.

And he goes on, he's a man of high integrity. He wouldn't bleed the poor. I'll tell you what, there's going to be a hot place in hell, I think, for a lot of these people that call them men or even women that call themselves evangelists that bleed people in their meetings for their finances.

That's not the spirit of Christ. I took, when I was courting my wife, we went to an evangelistic service. There was a church down the street where I lived, and so we went down there one evening to see what was going on, and lo and behold, if we didn't get into a healer also, and my, this guy, he must have been a farm boy, because he was really trying to milk the people.

And I think I've mentioned this before, I can't remember if it was a man or a woman, but it so impressed me what they did when they got back. But he said, who will pay five dollars to see so-and-so over there?

And he's actually pointing over there, and I'm sitting behind him, beheeled of their eyesight. They were wearing glasses. Somebody said, I'll chip in five dollars to see that. And so that person come up there, and he prayed for him, and they were healed of their eyesight, and everybody's hallelujah, praise God and everything, passed the offering plate to get the five bucks.

They came back and sat down in front of me. God had healed them of their eyesight, and everybody's rejoicing. They came back and sat down in front of me, put their glasses on so they could see the rest of the show.

I told Vicki, let's go. That's all I need to see. Oh, all right, what do people need? They need a Savior. Listen, about Jesus, it said in Mark 12, 37, and the common people heard him gladly. 12, 37 and 35, it said, what he taught in the temple.

What he taught in the temple. Why did they gladly hear Jesus, and they didn't gladly hear most of what the Pharisees had to say? It's because the same thing with Spurgeon. He had some good news. Their message was, it's law, you do, or you'll die, you do, if you want to get to heaven.

And Jesus comes along and says, it's grace. You repent and believe, and you can have life. It's law, you do, or you'll die, you better do, if you want eternal life. We're not sure you'll get it, though.

And Jesus says, repent and believe, and you can be saved. Ah, I need that. And they flocked to Jesus. He had some good news. That's the gospel. James Stewart said that he preached in Spurgeon's pulpit before it was bombed in World War II, and he related a story that was given by Ms. Torrey.

If you know, R .A. Torrey was the one that traveled around with Moody, wherever he went. He wanted Moody to do his teaching on the Holy Spirit. Moody had got a hold of this man that had an understanding of the Holy Spirit would help people to receive the Spirit of God in their life in a powerful way.

And so he had him teach that. And here's what Ms. Torrey said. I think at this point, her husband might have been already passed away. I don't know. But she talked of the times of revival in the British Isles, where Moody and Torrey came over there.

And also, Sankey would be traveling with him. And I think Sankey was the only one that got to play his organ or something in the tabernacle there in London, in Spurgeon Tabernacle. But here's something that she said that was very interesting about these evangelists that came there.

They said, the preachers had been expositing the Word to the people in such a way that when my husband and Moody come in, all they had to do was just draw the net, reap. They had been expositing to the Word.

And so the people were ready. So those that were not saved, it was easy, really. But here's what Torrey said. He said, related by his wife, he said, and one of the last things he said, she said, quote, it was thus my husband's prayer in his last warning to the church that the gospel should be expounded in all its clarity and power.

And before that, he had said that what was coming in on the churches, he could see, was modernism was coming in. And because modernism was coming in, they were not expounding the scripture correctly. They were not preaching Christ.

And thus people were not getting saved. And he said, what is going to be needed is for an expository evangelism to be preached, is what Spurgeon did. Wherever he went in the Word, he brought men to Christ.

But he said it was a warning and it had come. And that was over 100 years ago. And it swept in and it's been a cancer in the church. Someone said Spurgeon was the greatest expositor of all times. Vast numbers were saved.

And he said this himself. He said he didn't believe there was a seat in the tabernacle where somebody had not been converted in that seat. Wow. So do we need the evangelist? We do. Now, his method of preaching, and I'm not going to go through the covering of the message itself, his message was Christ, the preaching of the gospel.

Preaching Christ as the Evangelist's Message

And that was, if I can take you, I'll just say a little something about the message of Christ himself. In Acts 17, in verses two and three, listen, and Paul, as his manner was, do you know you have a manner of evangelism?

If you are a believer, you have a manner of evangelism about you. You got your own style. You got your own technique of sharing Christ. I've got mine. I've developed it a long time ago. I've been in churches where they want you to go knock on doors.

The people inside are terrified and you're terrified outside. Whatever you want to do. To me, it's not natural. I like a more natural way. And so I decided long ago, my technique, my manner would be as I go.

As I go. I come out of Aldi's over here. Yesterday, I come over to put some water in this tank. And I went over there to see if there's something I could buy and did and bought it. But I come out and said, Lord, I've got a track that I needed to give to somebody.

And I mean, I'm fixing to get in the car and come home. And there's a lady that come out just ahead of me, and she put her buggy there. And I said, boy, looks like you messed up your arm. She had a wrapper around there.

And just like that, I worked and got in there and shared. I said, can I give you a little gospel track? Are you good enough to go to heaven? She said, I sure hope so. I said, well, nobody's going to make it without Jesus.

She said, that's right. She was a Methodist. But my method is as I go. Sometimes it works out pretty good, and some people don't like it. But it's as you go. Literally, I believe that's what the Greek has meant to me, as you go.

Jesus, it was a command to go. And so you will develop your technique and your style. But he said, and Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them in three days, reasoned with them out of the scriptures.

His manner was to go to the Jews first everywhere, opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from the dead, and that this Jesus whom I preach unto you is Christ. Now, he's in Thessalonica.

He's going to move from there to Berea. He's going to move from there to Athens. Everywhere he goes, he's going to preach Christ. And he usually started with the first. Now, I want to go into the method of the evangelist, his method.

His method, basically, is to follow his master, to follow his master. And the master's method was soul winning. And we're going to talk about that. This comes, this method, this following the master comes from passion.

Those that do not have passion for the Lord will not have passion for the lost souls that are around them. And I'm going to take you into the heart of Spurgeon now and share with you some things about his passion.

Passion for Lost Souls

This passion, it's a drive. If I can maybe take something and share from Spurgeon that he said, this is on, he said, soul winning is the chief business of the Christian minister. He, he, a lot of this I've got, he was given to the pastors, to the preachers, and he had a school there.

He said, soul winning is the chief business of the Christian minister. Indeed, it should be the main pursuit of every true believer. Is it your pursuit? When you go through the day, are you plugged in with Jesus?

And you said, Lord, is there somebody today that I can share Christ with? He said, do you ever mourn over your hearers? He's talking to these preachers again, as one that weepeth for the slain of his people.

Can you bear that they should pass away to judgment unforgiven? Can you endure the thought of their destruction? I do not know how a preacher can be much blessed of God who does not feel an agony when he fears that some of his hearers will pass into the next world and impotent and unbelieving.

That's where that evangelist was with those three young men. The Spirit of God put a burden on his soul and they went and spoke to them. He said, we must, we must capture the hearts for Jesus by showing that we are of like passion with them and love them much.

Love men to Jesus. That is the act of soul winning. It's loving men to Jesus. Go on to win other souls. It is the only thing worth living for. God much is much glorified by convergence and therefore this should be the great object of life.

You do not love the Lord at all unless you love the souls of others. You can't get much stronger than that. And we need revival. I need revival every day because there are days I get up, I don't love souls.

I just love myself. I just want to do what I want to do and get done with what I want to do and I'm not on track on that day. It will not count. When I was up in Victoria just a few weeks ago, I took me a bunch of tracks and we went moving around quite a bit and so there was a couple there from Australia there staying where we were and everywhere I went I was handing out tracks trying to talk to people the Lord get behind they'd have to wait for me in different things and but they were sort of amazed that's the way we should live as far as I'm concerned wherever we go as we go if we get an opportunity to share Christ I'm going to share some things with you about Spurgeon.

One thing was back when he's a young man he told his mother he said I go every Saturday and visit 70 people and he said I just don't give them a track I try to get them into spiritual matters. Every Saturday 70 people.

While we probably wouldn't talk to 70 people maybe some of us not even a whole year about Christ maybe some of us not in 10 years but every Saturday he purposely did that. That's pretty amazing isn't it?

His method come out of his passion which is a desire. Paul said woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. Acts 8 listen to Acts 8 was was the Bible did it did it in Acts 8. Therefore you know persecution came in chapter 8 in verse 4 therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere just trying to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting hurt.

No it said they went everywhere preaching the word in verse 5. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ into them in verse 12. But when they believed Philip preaching of the things concerning the kingdom of God in the name of Jesus Christ they were baptized both men and women.

You just keep on going through 25. And they when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord returned to Jerusalem and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. It come out of a passion for Jesus.

Do you have a passion for the Lord. My passion is so weak sometimes I feel ashamed. But then Philip in 35 opened his mouth and began at the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus. You have a passion for Jesus.

He'll bring you in contact with people that need the Lord. He'll bring you in contact in Acts 8 35. Then he preached unto him Jesus in verse 40. But Philip was found in Azotus. God probably just snatched him away and passing through he preached in all the cities.

So he came to Caesarea. It was their business as evangelists to preach and I believe God wants us to do the work of an evangelist. We may not be able to do it full-time like most evangelists do. And not even all that do it full-time are full-time.

Instead as they go to work they evangelize everywhere. What was Christ's method. Listen to this in John chapter four there's one of the most beautiful displays of the method of Christ of winning souls.

Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

This is the woman at the well and then let me just go through these things. Number one he came to this well and he's thirsty. And he asked this woman for a drink. He made an appeal to her kindness. Was shocked her.

His Jews didn't have anything to do with Samaritans and women especially. This is his method though he is going to get to this soul he is going to reach her heart. He came to seek and to save the lost.

And this is one. And so he made an appeal to her kindness in verse seven. Therefore cometh the woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus and said unto her give me to drink. And it just shocked her. Then going on down in verse 14 he made an appeal.

He made an appeal to her desire. In 13 he said whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again. And he abated her in there. He said in 10 he appealed to her curiosity. In verse 10 there's one I missed.
