JOHN 4 : 35 - 36

LOOK !

John 4:35-36 (ESV)35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet

four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up

your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the

one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life,

so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

Either Wheat •Or Barley

Look - no more green !

They are white –

ready for harvest !

Harvest is not just a romantic idea – it is hard work – the hardest part of farming!

‘There are yet (still) four months, then comes the harvest’ …

so relax lah!

Even if the exact time for harvest is not yet – know that harvest is

coming and you must get ready for the harvest!

To prepare only at

harvest time is too late. The crops

will not wait for you to be ready – they

will die!

Farmers must prepare for harvest !
