Lift Up Your Eyes

“Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” – John 4:35
Looking out over Israel, how could Jesus know the field was ripe for harvest? Looking out over America, how could He know that my field and your field are ripe for harvest?
Because: God is the answer to every cry of the human heart. We do not need more money or education. We do not need a new skin color or a new sex. And we do not need human approval or acceptance. We need God come down in human form. We need Jesus.
To all who are unloved – God is Love (1 John 4:16).
To all who are exploited – Jesus is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11).
To all who are purposeless – God is Purpose Giver (Ephesians 2:10).
To all who are bitter – God is Merciful God (Deuteronomy 4:31).
To all who are scared – Jesus is Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
 
Therefore, our fields are ripe for harvest.
