“The Fields Are White For Harvest: Sowing, Watering, and Reaping”

John 4:31-427.3.11

When it comes to salvation of one’s soul, Jesus ushered in the Messianic

age, the time of salvation, which would be a time of abundant harvest.

Salvation had come in Jesus, and many would turn from their sins

and believe in Him, the only way of salvation!

We can be involved in the work of God in 3 ways:

• Sowing (preaching)• Watering (teaching)• Reaping (conversion)

What does this mean for me?• Don't be discouraged if you don't see someone

trust in Jesus for salvation right away.

• You can only water what has already been sown.

• Celebrate even 1 soul reaped in God's harvest, but realize there are many more still out there.
