Ready for Harvest A harvest can sneak up on you! Especially when it’s a new field! Imagine Jesus, a Jew, a man, a righteous rabbi, talking openly with a Samaritan woman who was immoral and known for her many marriages. But she was thirsty for “living water.” So taken was she by Jesus’ words, that she went to her village and invited many friends to hear for themselves. With this band of white-robed Samaritans approaching, Jesus pointed out the “whitened harvest” to his Jewish disciples. Many of these despised Samaritans believed in Jesus, exclaiming, “We know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world” (John 4:42). Are there any “Samaritans” in our community? Who are the “despised foreigners”? Who are the racial half-breeds? Who are the immoral? Lift up your eyes and look at these unlikely fields. Are they white for harvest? Ask the Lord of the harvest. He knows! Ask Him for a “key contact” like the woman at the well, an influential person with many “friends.” It could be harvest time!
