Be a sharer of the work of Jesus
John 4 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”1
It is the duty of every saved christian to share the message of Jesus with all the people the Lord puts in their life. Here ought be the stuff we share.
1 Every man is a sinner when he is born.
2 The wage of the sinner is death and Hell forever.
3 Jesus came to pay in full on the cross the wage
4 You are saved ONLY when you turn away from your sin and turn to Jesus ALONE
5 If you turn to Jesus he will save you completely
In tonights passage Jesus is asking us to go out and start working hard for the harvest and tell our friends about Jesus and the Gospel. If you work in this your going to get wages in you life. In the bible we are not asked to look at the outside of a man but Jesus knows the hearts of man and he calls us to love everyone and live to be Jesus to everyone. As a Christian we are never ever to hate anyone, but we are called to love everyone and share Jesus with them. I need to go to confess some things because I plead guilt to hate at times. Our lifes are not ours when we make Jesus Lord they are his and we need to spend them on the work of the Lord.
In working for the Lord and on souls some are going to plant the seed and some are going to work on the seed and some are going to reap. Jesus does all the work on the saving but he uses people to share his Love and grace. In my life I saw people plant the news and Gods Love and then Jesus took the work and made me his in his time. It might be your watering the seed and the Lord might have one down the line that is going to share the thing the Lord used to save them. It might be many people are going to be used in ones heart to bring them to repent but it is important to know only the Lord is going to win the soul. I could list the people the Lord used but they did not save me the Love Jesus had for me saved me so I give Jesus all the praise and honor.
Jesus said a simular story in the book of Matthew.
Matt 9 35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Here is a thing we need to pray for and that is for missions and the work of Jesus to be done. Will you be one to do this work and go into the field and share the Love? I know you can commit to pray for more people to go out and share the things I showed in the first part of the entry, and you can share that with all your friends and tell them the news there is a way out of Hell and Jesus is ready to save your friends and you if you repent and trust in Jesus. I hope you are ready for this because look ar Anna who died at 39. Shocking but we are going to die. Please get Jesus today and know heaven is yours
