Psalms 148, 149, 150
Hebrews 6:17-7:10
John 4:27-42
John 4:27-42
I think the disciples and I have a similar attitude to food. It occupies quite a large amount of our thinking. What shall I eat next and when? Planning food is almost as exciting as eating it. The disciples asked where to prepare the Passover feast, they were anxious that the crowds ate after listening to spending the day listening to Jesus, they had a fish fry on the beach in Galilee - more than once, yes food was uppermost in their minds. Jesus on the other hand was totally absorbed in his work. An 'Einstein quote' which I heard goes "Einstein met a friend in the university quad. At the end of the conversation Einstein asked "Which way was I going when we met? After the answer Einstein replied "Ah, then I must have already eaten lunch"." Einstein was so caught up in his work that food was irrelevant. It was the same though more so with Jesus. Jesus was on a tight schedule. He had work to accomplish.
We are part of his harvest. We have been reaped and now we need to sow with the same sense of urgency that jesus possessed as we are his representatives in the here and now.
