John 4 – Evangelism

“Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, ‘Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?’…[Jesus said to his disciples] ‘Thus the saying “One sows and another reaps” is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor’…[The Samaritan people] said to the woman, ‘We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.’”

We need to tell people what Jesus has done in our lives. If we keep it to ourselves then we fail to plant, water, or reap the harvest growing in our neighbors lives. If we share what a relationship with Christ has meant for us, we may plant a seed of faith, or we may encourage a seed that was previously planted, or we may help our neighbor make the final decision to turn to Christ.

Everyone needs to be born again as a child of God; to recognize the light of Christ which is calling them toward God. We have a responsibility to represent the light of Christ to the world around us.
