Suggested questions:

Q1: Did Jesus really have to go through Samaria? Did Jesus really have to come to the earth to save us? If not then why did He come?

Q2: The Samaritan woman was lost in sins and she tried to avoid people by getting water at hot noons. And she didn't have any friends to go with her for water neither. Have you ever experienced similar situations?

Q3: Have you tried to seek for something but become thirsty again after having it?

Q4: What is the living water? How does it feel when you have it?
