Do you not say, there are yet four months, and then comes the harvest? I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields that they are white for harvest.
Good
morning. I know that messiah is coming; when that One comes, He will declare
all things to us. I who speak to you am He. Jesus did not declare that He was
the Messiah in front of the Jews – they would’ve gotten very angry. The
disciples return, and the woman goes into the city. She tells them to come see
a man who has told her all the things that she has done. This is not the
Christ, is it? They went out of the city, and were coming to Him. The disciples
had gotten something to eat, and so they encouraged Jesus to eat. I have food
to eat that you do not know about. The disciples, as usual, were thinking in
the natural. No one brought Him anything to eat, did he? My food is to do the
will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. Now comes the verse that is
similar to the one we looked at in a different gospel. Do you not say, there
are yet four months, and then comes the harvest? I say to you, lift up your
eyes and look on the fields that they are white for harvest. It was at this
point that the woman and the men from the city were arriving to Jesus. Already he
who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal, so that
he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. I sent you to reap that for
which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their
labor. The whole process does not depend on just one person. It is a group
effort. Some do one part and some do another part. Both are necessary; neither
one gets the glory. Father thank You that we may enter into labor with You to
bring people into the Kingdom. Bless the reader and his/her family today and
every day.
