John 4:27-38

Fields Are White to Harvest John 4:27-38 And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman; yet no man said, "What sleekest thour? or, Why talkest thou with her?" The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and faith to the men, "Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" Then they went out if the city, and came into him. In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, "Master, eat." But he said unto them, "I have meat to eat that ye know not of." Therefore said the disciples one to another, "Hath any man brought him ought to eat?" Jesus saith into 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. And he that reapeth received wages, and gathereth fruit into life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labours." (Thought) Jesus is telling His disciples that the food that He has to eat no one knows of. What Jesus is meant to do is the will of the one Who sent him. He is to finish His work. Right then Jesus was telling them that the harvest was ready to reap. He was sending the disciples to sow what has been reaped. Someone else has labored to get the harvest but His disciples are the ones which will receive the harvest. We too must be about our Savior's business, we are the ones which are on this earth and the Lord sends us to where the harvest is ready to be harvested. We can tell others about the eternal way. Are we looking for the fields?
