If you were to ask a group of people in your circles or people you don’t know the question, “what is a Christian?” What would they say? Have you noticed that its a loaded question no matter who you ask, so really…what is a Christian?

If asked the question, some would say, “What do you mean?” Some would say, “Yeah, but…” Some would say, “Hmmmm, no, but…” Some would say, “Of course I am, but I’m not like that group.” For some, you were raised a Christian or you became a Christian because you prayed a prayer. Most of have to qualify our response, don’t we?

Seemingly out of nowhere, Jesus walks onto the scene and asks her for a drink and she debates Him. This sound so familiar, doesn’t it?
