Text: John 4:27-42
Sermon: Instructor Yang Yirae
It is the third hour of the spring water that springs up to eternal life (3). During this time, I hope that you will enjoy the living water of the Holy Spirit provided by the Lord and gain new strength. I would like to share the grace with the word “my food” based on the main text.
Background and context of the text
The Samaritan woman met the Messiah. You and I are speaking now, the Messiah! The woman drank the spring water that springs up to eternal life. The thirst of life abandoned by 5 men The thirst in life that I had to struggle with because of the unclean life I was living with even now, living with the 6th man, was solved by meeting the true husband of Jesus. If anyone believes in Jesus, their thirst in life will be solved and they will be saved. Let's get into our text. Verse 27. Just then the disciples returned and wondered what Jesus was talking to the woman, but no one asked what Jesus wanted.
The Samaritan Woman Meets the Messiah

The grain is ripe and it is time to harvest.
Do you not say in verse 35 that there are still four more months for the harvest to come? But I tell you. Awaken your eyes and look at the fields. The harvest is ripe. Here, four months! refers to the period from planting to harvest. It means that the time for the spiritual harvest has already come. It is the word to open your spiritual eyes and see. It is saying that the seeds of the gospel planted long ago through the prophets have grown and the time has come to reap. Therefore, we must not lose this opportunity and go out into the world to harvest. Harvest is evangelism seeking the elect. Evangelism is the spiritual food we must eat every day.
In verse 36, the harvester is already being paid and is reaping the fruit for everlasting life. This is so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. If you evangelize and bring in the elect, God will give you wages and give you fruits that lead to eternal life. The harvest brings joy to those who sow, and joy to those who reap. Verse 37 therefore says that one sows and the other reaps! 38 I have sent you to reap what you have not labored for. Others have labored, and you are reaping the fruits of their labor. We share in the joy when we go out and reap what others have planted and cared for over the years. If we diligently harvest and reap through evangelism, we are participating in the work that advanced leaders have worked hard for for many years. We must be good and faithful servants who diligently evangelize and reap.
Samaritan woman preaching the Messiah
In verse 39, when the woman testified that Jesus had told all of her past, many Samaritans living in the village believed in Jesus. The world hides its past and wraps itself up in lies, but true Christians must be different. Only those who have met the Lord can practice this. A woman in Samaria was satisfied with her life's thirst as soon as she met the Lord. After being saved, he took off the iron armor of heavy hypocrisy. The unclean life of living with the 6th man was not a problem. Because she met Jesus, the true husband, she was able to testify of the Lord boldly. We, too, can preach the Lord when we meet the Lord, the bridegroom.
Samaritans Believe in Jesus
In verse 40, the Samaritans came to Jesus and asked him to stay there, so Jesus stayed there for two days. Verse 41: After hearing Jesus' words, more and more people came to believe. Through the preaching of the gospel like the woman herself, many people in Samaria believed in Jesus and were saved. But what is even more surprising is that in verse 41, those who directly heard Jesus' words drank from the spring of water so that they could have more eternal life. It is also very good for us to make evangelists and have them hear the voice of God directly through the Bible.
Villagers who believe in the gospel and ignore the woman's words
Verse 42, they said to the woman, "Now we do not believe because of what you said, but because we have heard him and we know that this is really the Savior of the world! Among the words of the villagers who came to believe in Jesus as their savior, verse 42 said, “It is not because of your words that we believe!” The word here is lalia! in Greek. It is not a word of reason or oral authority, but common and worthless everyday speech. This is a derogatory expression of the evangelism of the Samaritan woman. A true woman must have been upset. Frankly, the Samaritan villagers only met Jesus after hearing the woman's evangelism. and listen to the words
He finally confessed, “I believed that he was truly the Savior of the world!
Dear fellow classmates
application and practice
Decide who you are going to be evangelized from while praying. And pray. It's even better if you do a deliberate prayer. Please evangelize so that the food of eternal life does not fall into me every day. The more we evangelize, the richer the food for eternal life in us. You can distribute the bread of eternal life to the dying souls around you. Even if you believe in Jesus for 10 or 20 years, what is the reason why you cannot preach the gospel in front of many people like the Samaritan woman? It is because, unfortunately, we have not met the Lord. Preaching the gospel is the food of the believer's spirit.
To believe in Jesus is to believe in the Bible. How can we meet Jesus? If you meditate on the Bible, you will meet Jesus by the grace of the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit of the Lord gives grace to understand the word of truth in my heart, life will meet the Lord. Don't give up and read the Bible. The Lord is always waiting for you and me. The food of eternal life! He is waiting to put the gift of salvation into our hearts. When life meets the Lord, an atheist becomes a theist. Sinners become righteous. They change from children of Satan to children of God. When those who are possessed by sin, death, and the power of Satan believe in Jesus, they will be set free forever and become sons and daughters of God's people. We hope that we will all have passion and be faithful like the Lord in the evangelism ministry of evangelizing and distributing the food of eternal life to dying souls by storing the food of eternal life in us abundantly. Praise and crown of the Lord's comfort await the evangelists. Now is the harvest time. I earnestly hope that you will become good and faithful disciples of the Lord who reap the fruits for eternal life into the kingdom of God every day.
