The Gospel of John 4:34-35 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” (John 4:34-35 KJV)

This enigmatic declaration of the Lord Jesus Christ continues to lift us up to another level of revelation. He talks about His earthly ministry that the Father has sent Him to do. Its execution is what gives Him sustenance of strength while in the flesh. His commitment to finish the mission He was tasked to fulfill is the driving force providing stamina in His pursuit as He watch the field of harvest is come. No time to delay saying, "there're still four months then comes harvest". The field of Samaria is ready dry and white for harvest. Urgency gives Him the adrenaline to move quickly.

He was referring to the thirst of the Samaritans' souls waiting for His coming, as revealed in the woman's confession: “The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”” (John 4:25 NIV). And, behind the scene, unbeknownst to the disciples, a gathering convergence of hungry Samaritan souls is in the making. That's the picture of us too! There is spiritual famine in the world today. We can see that in the crumbling social climate and degenerating culture of this generation. This harvest example of the Samaritans is for our awakening. Securing our salvation is the Lord's sustaining food.

In this grace dispensation generation we are in, as we remember the Lord's redemptive sacrifice on the cross during this time of remembrance of His death and resurrection, let us honor Him by receiving His salvation by grace through faith in Him. As doing the will of the Father is the Lord's source of food, we are reminded by His Words, as it is written: “Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
