Thursdays Child John 4:31-38 Patient Evangelism

I've been feeling a little guilty lately for unintentionally neglecting Thursdays Child. So let's continue on with John 4. As the Samaritan people came out to see Jesus the disciples were trying to get him to eat, He told them He gets nourished just by doing the will of God. That was great for Jesus but doesn't it really bug you when some of the holier than thou's try to pull that fake crap on you. Even though we could probably rant on that for awhile we'll keep it positive. He went on to explain that harvesting isn't just for the Fall season, and neither is planting just for Spring. Joy comes to the one who plants and the one who harvests. I feel like the people that try to evangelize others and push to get them saved in one meeting turn them off more toward Christianity. That's what Jesus is saying here. Just plant that seed. You'll probably get to bring someone else to Christ another day. If we just show the love of Jesus and plant the seed people will naturally wonder what is different about us. We'll eventually be able to respond to their curiosity and some days we'll experience the planting and some days the harvesting. So keep planting, keep harvesting, and most of all never stop searching. Thanks for searching with me, Paul
