Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well and told her that whoever drinks from the water He gives will never be thirsty again. This led to the woman realizing that Jesus offers something better than physical water; He gives us Himself. Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to everyone who comes to Him by faith. We can worship Him as Lord and Savior wherever we are because He loves us so much.

Nicodemus was a Pharisee who studied the scriptures in the time of Jesus and wanted to know more about Him. While meeting, Jesus said some confusing things that Nicodemus didn't understand yet - because he knew God, but not yet that Jesus was fulfilling His plan. Jesus hinted that He would be saving us all from our sins on the cross and giving us new life - and told Nicodemus that God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son for us!

Summing up our unit on God’s mercy, we read in Luke 18 that Jesus told a story of a pharisee and a tax collector. While the pharisee looked down on the tax collector, the tax collector knew he had sinned and asked God for forgiveness and mercy. Everyone is a sinner who needs God’s forgiveness and mercy. We can cry out to God like the tax collector because of Jesus, who took the punishment for our sin.
