John chapter 4 verse 35.

Do you not say there yet four months then comes the harvest

look I tell you lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest.

I love this verse especially when you think about its context so Jesus has just

finished having this conversation with this woman at the well or he has

told her about living water that will never leave her thirsty again.

She has realized who he is and she has run back into town to say,

come, you've got to see this man you've got to meet this man who could be the Christ and all these people are coming out of the town to meet him

meanwhile Jesus is having this conversation with his

disciples and they're telling him to eat because he's not eating anything he says

in the verse right before this my food is to do the will of him who sent me

and to accomplish his work. In other words, I'm eating,

I'm doing what the father has sent me here to do. And then he says, do you not say there

yet four months, then comes to harvest, like the harvest is coming in the future he says I tell you

open up your eyes the fields are white for harvest and in the background you have a whole town

that's coming out a town that by the way the disciples had just gone into to get food.

They had missed it. They'd missed the harvest right in front of them, ripe, ready to hear the good news of the kingdom, the good news

about who Jesus is. They hadn't brought anybody back to see Jesus. Here's a woman

who's bringing all these people back to hear Jesus.

All these people out to see Jesus, ripe fields.

So do we see like this?
