Tag: Our testimony

This is the famous story of Jesus encountering the Samaritan woman.

At that time, Jesus told the disciples,

My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. (John 4:34)

Jesus then called them to join in the work that the Father started. He noted that other people had already been participating in the Father’s work, and then he told his disciples,

Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor. (38, ESV)

Those words struck me as I read them.

The Father has been doing his work for thousands of years. Millions of people have already labored doing his work. Now we are called to enter that labor too.

How do we do that? Through our testimony (39). And through sharing the words of our Lord (41).

So let us lift up our eyes, see the harvest, and join in with our Father’s work.
