John 4:36

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4:36, already.  John 4:36 ESV Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.  Here, Jesus is saying about the rewards we receive for doing God's work. When we bring souls to the kingdom of God, we are truly rewarded. Their God's reward starts immediately. They have the satisfication and the joy of bringing a soul to Jesus. It is also the deep love we have for those people whom we have brought to Christ. When we bring people to Jesus, we not only receive the reward in this world, but also in the world to come. In heaven, we have a great reward, Daniel. 12:3. Those who are wise will shine like brightness of the Heavenly expanse and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. First Peter 5:4 and when the chief Shepherd Jesus appears, you will receive the Crown of Glory that will not fade away. Revelation 22:12 Jesus is saying...

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 ...

John 4:34

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 34.  Jesus said to them, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to his work. Even though physical bread definitely is necessary. It is the spiritual need, which really counts. Tragically, this is reversed even in the lives of most Believers. Too much attention is paid on the physical bread and not on the spiritual bread. Are you spending time in the presence of God reading the word of God, which is our spiritual food. Next, we see to do the will of God.  The will of God is the single, most important thing in the world. There is definitely a will for the entirety of the world, and there is a definite will for each individual believer. Nothing happens by chance in the life of a Believer. God has a definite place purpose and position for every single believer. When a Believer as a proper relationship with God you will know God's will, for his life, God will talk to us. God will clearly speak to us His will for our life. Bec...

John 4:31,32

Praise the Lord.  Today's verse is from John 4, 31, and 32. Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him saying Rabbi eat. But he said to them, I have food to eat that you do not know about.  When the disciples arrived from the market after buying food, Jesus was finishing his conversation with the Samaritan woman, and she left to go to the town in order to spread the good news. The disciples are parallaxed, at Jesus, dealing with her, but eventually when he seemed to express no appetite for the food which they have brought. They were urging him to eat out of concern for his health. That had come a long way. And they had to go a long way. And they knew that Jesus needed strength for the journey.  When Jesus had fasted for 40 days without food, Satan came to him and said, if you are the Son of God, command that these Stones become bread. Jesus answered and said, it is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but By every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God". Food is...

John 4:29

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 29.  Come see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ? The word come is the greatest evidence of all that this woman had received  "Salvation'. When a person receives salvation, they hungrily desire to bring others to Christ. The glory of the Salvation is not obvious unless one has accepted Christ. When this happens and suddenly the glory appears and the first desire is that others should know this as well. Come see a man who told me all that I ever did is once again the epicenter of true Bible Christianity. Christianity is not a philosophy, nor a religion. It is really as stated a man, the man, Jesus Christ. Whether Jesus told her everything or not, we do not know. However, he told her enough that she was thoroughly convinced as to who and what he actually was. This is what makes Christianity so different than the religions of the world. All religions have to do is with the externals only. Here we see an...

John 4:28

Praise The Lord today's verse is from John 4:28.  So, the woman left her  water jar and went away into the town and said to the people come. Here we see the excitement of the woman, Who found Jesus see forgot the purpose she had come there, and she left the  water jar and went away into the town and said to the people come. So she became the first evangelist, the preacher of the Gospel to the Gentile Nations. And so effective was her preaching, We see that it caused a Revival. She had received the Living Water that is salvation. And then she said about this to others. God has created us with a purpose. God purpose for creating us was to share all he had, with us and he is with us. This is the pattern of. Personal evangelism, sharing what we have. God sent Jesus with a mission and with power and authority. He send him to the people not to condemn or to judge, But to set people free. This is the mission Christ has passed on to us. You and I are God's Messengers like this S...

John 4:25

Praise the Lord. Today's words is from. John 4th, chapter 25th verse. The woman said to him. I know that Messiah is coming. He who is called Christ when he comes he will declare all things to us. Messiah is a Hebrew word, and it means the anointed one. And the Greek word for Messiah is  Christos, from which Christ the english name comes. The Samaritans were waiting for the Messiah, so were the Jews. We see in Matthew 16th chapter Peter, declaring Jesus as the Messiah. Jesus asked his disciples, who do people say that the son of man is? They said different things. But then he asked this question to the disciples, he said to them. But what do you say that I am? And Simon, Peter, answered. You are the Christ, the son of living God. How did Peter know that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the son of the Living God. We have to see how it all started. John's gospel first chapter 35th on verse we see that John the Baptist introduced Jesus to his disciples and two of his disciples ...

John 4:23a

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4, 23, but the hour is coming and is now here. When the true worshipers will worship the father. And truth for the father is seeking such people to worship him. We are going to meditate on the first part of this verse today. The hour is coming and is now here. This also said in verse 21, the hour is coming. Here, the time is emphasized. It is now here. Jesus is now here. And the things are about to change. Every single prophecy of the Old Testament. All the sacrifices along with the feast days, as well as the Tabernacle and the temple stood and all pointed out to one person, the Lord Jesus Christ. He was and is the Fulfillment of all these things and all were done for a purpose of opening up the way that the Holy Spirit would come down and dwell in the hearts and lives of Believers in a manner which would not be done previously. When Jesus died on Calvary thereby satisfying the claims of heavenly Justice and defeating Satan, as well as...

English John 4:11

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 11 the woman said to him sir you have nothing to draw water with and the well is deep. Where do you get the living water?  Jesus was speaking of spiritual things, but the woman was thinking in material terms, In chapter 3 of John. We saw Jesus speaking to Nicodemus of born again experience and he took it in the material sense. Nicodemus asked "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Hallelujah. Usually The Travelers in those days used to carry a bucket and a rope to draw water, but the woman says, you don't have anything to draw water. Then she asks, Jesus, these questions, where do you get the living water man? Today, also, millions are asking where do you get the living water? They might not ask the same question. They might be asking, where do I get mukti? Where did I get Shanti? in fact they are asking where do I get salvation? Or they are saying, what ...

English John 4:10

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4, 10, Jesus answered her. If you knew the gift of God, And who it is that is saying to you give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living Waters. Hallelujah. What is the gift of God to men. It is the salvation of our soul by which we have the eternal life. Romans 6 23 says the wages of sin is death. That is the Eternal superation from God. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ. Jesus, our lord. This gift is a free gift to us, but for Jesus, he had to pay a costly prize. 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV [18] knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, [19] but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  Jesus is saying to the woman if you knew who it is, that is saying to you to give me a drink. At that time, she did not know who Jesus was though later she knew. In John 1 1, it says, in ...

English John 4:8

 Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4 :8 For his disciples who had gone away into the city to buy food. The disciples of Jesus had gone to the Samaritan City to buy food. Something is beginning to happen to them before they had met Jesus It was entirely unlikely that they would talk to a Samaritan, but today they have gone to buy food from the Samaritans Market. There was a change in the disciple. The barrier of cast is going down today. We see the lives of millions changed when they had come to Jesus. People who had being addiction to alcohol and even to drugs, have changed their lives. 2 Corinthians 5:18 says. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, the new has come all.  Have your life being changed by Jesus today? Isaiah 43 18 and 19, says, do not remember the former things or consider the things of old, see I will do a new thing now It will spring forth. Ezekiel 11:19 I will give them a new heart and I wil...

English John 4:9

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is John 4 9. The Samaritan woman said to him. How is it that you a Jew? Ask for a drink from me a woman of Samaria. For the Jews had no dealings with Samaritans.  This Samaritan woman was astonished to have a Jew asking for water from her because she was a woman and also, she is a Samaritan. The Jews have no dealings with Samaritans, this we have already discussed about it. At first, to this woman, Jesus was simply a thirsty Jew, asking her for water, but as the story unfolds, we see her understanding of who this is developing. First, as the one who makes great promises Jesus promised her the Living Water. Then she acknowledges him as a prophet in verse 19. It says I perceive that you are a prophet. And finally, she knew him as the Messiah, the savior, the savior of this world, the Redeemer of this world and that is in verse 25, 26 and 29. Increasing understanding of who Christ is, this is a common experience for all believers because it's the Ho...

English John 4:7

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4:7. A woman from Samaria. Came to draw water. Jesus said to her, give me a drink. Jesus, the creator of universe and the judge of all, man meets one of the wildest of Sinners. But he is there not to condemn her but to seek and to save her. We see Jesus as the barrier Breaker. As we have seen before the Jews, hate the Samaritans, the Jewish Samaritan. Quarrel  had been for more than 400 years. The Samaritan woman was astonished that Jesus a Jew should speak to her a Samaritan. But there is still another way in which Jesus was tearing down the barriers.This Samaritan was a woman, a strict Rabbi was forbidden to greet a woman in public. He might not even speak to his own wife or his daughter or his sister in public. To be seen speaking to a woman in public, was the end of his reputation? And, Jesus spoke to the woman. Not only the she was a woman but she was a woman of notorious character. And Jesus spoke to her. Here was Jesus breaking thr...

English John 4:6

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 4:6 Jacob's, well was there, So Jesus varied as he was from his journey was sitting beside the well, it was about the sixth hour.  Jacob's. Well, was there, there is no reference in the Old Testament about this. Well, Even today, this place and the well is a pilgrim spot in the Palestine city of neblas in the West Bank.The well currently situated inside an Eastern Orthodox Church and a monastery. Jesus was varied because of his journey as it was the sixth hour sixth hour is 12 noon according to our time because Jewish time starts at 6:00, am in the morning. Jesus, sat by the side of the Well, exhausted by the journey. It was very significant that John who stresses the deity of Jesus Christ more than any other gospel writers also stresses the humanity to the fullness. He does not show us a figure freed from the tirelessness and the struggles of humanity. Jesus was God, but at the same time, human He was thirsty. He was hungry. He w...

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...
