Wake Up

And Look Around.

The Fields Are Already Ripe For Harvest.

Scripture

John 4 

³⁵ You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest. ³⁶ The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! ³⁷ You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true. ³⁸ I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.”

Observation

Jesus is telling us to “Wake Up”! There is a harvest all around us that is ready and ripe for harvest.

We are to plant and we are to harvest it is who we are as Christians. We are planters. We sow the Gospel message. We share the Good News about Jesus Christ. Then we get to harvest and harvesting is when someone says, “yes” to Jesus.

If we sow enough seed we will see a great harvest.

Jesus went through Samaria a place hated by the Jews and He went through with one purpose. He went to share the Good News with a Samaritan Woman. She trusted in the Messiah. She ran back to her village and she told everyone about Jesus. The entire village went out to meet Jesus and there was a great harvest. Many from that village many came to hear Jesus and many became believers that day. It must have been a total shock to His disciples that Samaritans could also be saved.

The voice and testimony of one woman changed an entire village – what Power!

So lets wake up and see the harvest that is all around us! 

Application

I will share the Gospel and be ready to reap the harvest! How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me not miss the opportunity to tell someone about You. Help me to faithfully plant the seed of the Gospel wherever I have the opportunity. I pray for people to be saved this week at Christ Fellowship. I pray that the people that attend our special candle light Christmas Eve service will respond and say “yes” to Your gift of salvation this Christmas.
