John 4:35


Praise the Lord! Today's verse is from John 4, 35.
 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 
 Here, Jesus is comparing the agricultural terms of harvest to the Harvest of souls, that is, people turning to the Lord. In Israel, there was a period of about four months between the end of sowing season and the beginning of the Harvest. Jesus was saying that they need not wait so long. At that time, and in that place, a harvest was there for the reaping he was referring to the readiness of the Samaritans and others to believe in him when they heard the truth. We see in verse 39 many of the Samaritans of that City believed in him because of the word of the woman.
In our time too, there is always a harvest ready somewhere always people prepared by God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. God's servants should seek for them with Zeal and confidence in God. 2000 years from Christ's day to this hours have been a time of continual spiritual Harvest on Earth. In Matthew 9, 36-38, we read when he saw the crowd he had compassion for them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without Shepherd. Then, he said to his disciple, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
In this verse, we see the condition of the people they were harassed helpless, and like sheep without a Shepherd. Today also, we see the same condition. People are confused, they helpless. They are not having the right  Shepherd to guide them today. Also, the Harvest is plentiful. People are ready to accept Jesus, but the laborers are few.
I have been in Kerala for the last two and a half years. I also see a great need where people wanted to know the truth, and people wanted to be guided into the right direction. Let us pray for them. 
Prayer 
Holy Father. I thank you Lord that you are the same God and people are the same. Oh God, they need you and I pray God that you will bless your people. Lord, you will send your laborers into your kingdom, Lord, that people will be saved and the name of Jesus will be glorified. We ask all of this the loving name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Amen. Amen.

John 4:1,2

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4th chapter and verses one and two. We are studying from the fourth chapter of John from today. Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees have heard that Jesus was baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples. In this verse we again see about baptism Jesus and his disciples along with John was baptizing in the same place. It is not written whether Jesus and his disciples followed the baptism of John. We do not know. The difference between John's baptism and the Christian baptism is given clearly in the Bible. In Acts 19:3,4, we read " 'Unto what where you baptized?' And they said 'unto John's baptism' . Then Paul said, 'John verily, baptized with the baptism of repentance saying unto the people they that they should believe on Jesus Christ who is to come after him' ". John was preparing a people for Jesus coming. And they repented of...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 5. As he came to the town of Samaria. Called psychar near the field that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph. Hallelujah. In this verse, we see that John the author of this book, had an accurate knowledge of the land of Israel, And also he knew the history of that land. In Genesis 33 19. We see that when Jacob came back to the land of Israel from the house of Leban his father in law, he brought This place For a hundred pieces of silver. It was called the city of Sheikhim.  Jacob says he had given Joseph one portion above his brother. In Genesis 50:25. Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here. We see the hope and the confidence Joseph had that Israel People will go back to their land which happened through the hand of Moses. Joseph knew the promise that God had made to Abraham to Isaac and to his father, Jacob, Concerning the land of Canon...
