Wake Up! There Are People That Need a Savior!

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.

Observation

But Jesus says, “wake up and look around!” The fields are already ripe for harvest. The harvest is all around us. We need to wake up and see it. There are people all around us that God has prepared to receive the Good News. We just need to share with them. They are ripe and ready to be harvested.

The Samaritan woman was ready to receive Christ. So were many of those that lived in the Samaritan village. The disciples didn't even think the Samaritan's were people worth saving. They despised the Samaritan's and they needed to learn a lesson. Who do you despise or tend to ignore? Is it the people on the street corners? Is it people of a different skin color or people that speak a different language? They are ripe for the harvest if we are willing to work the fields.

Application

I will work hard at looking past a person's appearance and the circumstances that they live in and I will focus on their need of a Savior.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to have Your heart and Your compassion for people no matter what they look like or how they act or where they live or how they smell. I want to help them come to You. I want them to experience eternal life. Help me bring people to You.
