Fall Colors: White

SEPTEMBER 5, 2020

Do you not say, “There are still four months and then comes the harvest”? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
John 4:35

 Recommended Reading: John 4:27-38

The Lord had a special burden for Samaria—the little territory north of Judah inhabited by those who had survived the Assyrian Invasion of 701 B.C. and who had intermarried with pagan settlers. The Jewish leaders disparaged these people, but Jesus visited the region, told a parable about a Good Samaritan, and directed His disciples to take the Gospel there after His resurrection (Acts 1:8). In Acts 8, the evangelist Philip led a revival in this region. Paul and Barnabas also made a trip into the area (Acts 15:3).

Jesus foresaw all this in John 4, when He led His disciples through a village in Samaria. There He sat by the well talking to an immoral woman, evangelizing her. Deeply moved, she went into town and told everyone about Him. As the townspeople returned to meet Him, Jesus told the disciples that even though it wasn’t harvest time, they were seeing a spiritual harvest.

Where others saw riffraff, Jesus saw revival.

Let’s look at the world like that today—white for harvest!

As there are no little people in God’s sight, so there are no little places.

Francis Schaeffer
