They are ripe for harvest

John 4:27-42

Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,  “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” They came out of the town and made their way toward him. 

Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

She sees Messiah as the answer to everything - and he stands before her. As a result of this seemingly insignificant encounter, many others believe some through the woman's testimony, more through Jesus's own words.

Why?

What matters is that worship should be from the heart and with true faith.

This woman found the Messiah, and through her saying many people turned to Jesus and believed in Him.

My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Jesus's mission from the Lord is beyond all his eating and drinking.

It is the time for the ripe for harvest, for God is working, and we can reap the harvest. Don't wait, just do it.

How?

After listening to so many talking and discussions, it is the time for doing, preaching the gospel to people.
