We will witness Jesus as he speaks of the will of God and the Harvest in Samaria and then heals a Royal Canaan’s Son in Galilee and through his words he will reveal the truth. True satisfaction comes from receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior and doing his will.
In verses 31 through 38 we see Jesus as he speaks with his disciples about spiritual food, doing the will of God and the Harvest. From these short seven verses, we see how a true believer receives spiritual strength and nourishment from doing the will of God. Just as Jesus found his sustenance in God so can we when we do His will.
What is God’s will for you in your home, with your children, spouse or close relatives?
In the next three verses we encounter another lesson out of the scriptures. We witness the Samaritans as they hear the woman’s testimony, come to Jesus, urge him to stay and believe. Many people came to believe simply from the witness given by this woman. It is the same today as it was in the time of Jesus. We are called to witness for the truth... witness for the Christ and through this witness many have the chance for eternal salvation.
Salvation comes from hearing about Jesus, coming to him and asking him to stay as your Lord and Savior.
What role does God want you to play in each of these stages with the people around you?
In the last eleven verses of John 4 we see Jesus in his full glory performing a great miracle. Through his actions in love we see how this healing transcends one and effects many. Jesus heals the son of a Royal Canaan and he and his house believe through this miracle.
From this section of scripture we learn the powerful lesson that Jesus answers prayers for those who have faith in him.
What prayers do you need to bring before Jesus in faith? How do your prayers need to change so that he is glorified?
What does it take for God to be satisfied in your life right now?
Amen
