The meaning of Acts 4:12: Acts is the book to find in the New Testament, “4” is the chapter in Acts, and “12” is the verse in Chapter 4.
JESUS, OUR SAVIOUR
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23.
“If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” I John 1:10.
In Jeremiah 10:23, the prophet wrote, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
Since we cannot save ourselves, we must have a Saviour. Although we have sinned, God loves us and has sent His only begotten Son into the world to die in our stead. But, to be saved, we must accept this Saviour. Therefore, we must study to learn what He wants us to do.
Let us study now to learn what a wonderful Saviour we have.

Long before Jesus was born, God, through His prophets, told of the coming of Jesus to live on earth for awhile. Enjoy reading aloud some of these prophecies:
Isaiah 9:6 — “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 35:5–6a — “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing:”
Jeremiah 31:15 — “Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.” (This was a prophecy about Herod killing the children.)
Micah 5:2 — “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” (This tells us that Bethlehem is to be the birthplace of Jesus.)
Psalms 72:1, 10, 17 — “Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.”
“The kings of Tarshish and the isles shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts” (Psalm 72:10). What is this a prophecy of?
5
“His name shall endure forever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed” (Psalm 72:17).

LESSON 4
Jesus Loves All People
Jesus Talked with the Woman at the Well
John 4:3–30, 39–42
Memory Verse: John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. tjat whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Underline the correct words.
Jesus left Judea and went to (Perea, Galilee). He had to go through (Samaria, Jordan). In the city of (Bethany, Sychar) there was (Joseph's, Jacob's) well. Because Jesus was (tired, troubled) he sat on the well about the (sixth, third) hour, or noon. His disciples went into the city (to buy meat, to get a colt).
A woman of (Judea, Samaria) came to the well to get water. Jesus said to her, (“You should not get water here,” “Give me a drink”). Because Jesus was a (Jew, Samaritan), the woman was surprised that He spoke to her; for the Jews had nothing to do with the (Samaritans, Galileans). In fact, the Jews (loved, hated) Samaritans.

Jesus told her that if she had known who spoke to her, she would have asked Him (to draw water for her, for living water). She asked Jesus if He were greater than (Jacob, Abraham) who gave them the well. Jesus answered by saying that a person who drinks of the water He has to give will never (come to the well again, thirst). The woman (wanted this water, walked away).
Jesus told her to go and get her (father, husband). She said she did not have a (father, husband). Jesus said she had answered (correctly, falsely), because she had been married (five, two) times and that the man she was with then (was, was not) really her husband. The woman began to believe Jesus was a (preacher, prophet).
The Samaritans worshipped in a (mountain, cave) and the Jews worshipped in (Bethlehem, Jerusalem). Jesus said the time has come when true worshippers will worship God (in spirit and in truth, in their nearest city). The woman knew that when the Messiah or the Christ came, he would be able to (help them, tell them all things). Jesus said unto her, “I that speak to you am he.”
When the disciples came back to the well, they were (happy, surprised) that Jesus talked with the Samaritan woman.
She left her (waterpot, bonnet) and went into the (city, house). She told all the men to come and see a man who told her (a few things, all things she ever did). She asked, “Is not this (the Christ, our forefathers)?” Because of the woman's report (a few, many) Samaritans believed on Jesus. At the invitation of the Samaritans, Jesus stayed with them (one, two) days. Many more of them believed because of (Jesus' own words, the woman's report). They said, “Now we (believe, guess) and (know, doubt) that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Jesus (loved, despised) these people of Samaria even though they were not Jews, and even though the Jews did not like them (very much, at all).
Here are some scriptures about the love of God and His Son, Jesus Christ: find them in your New Testament and fill in the blanks.
