John 4:31-45 / Jesus knew his mission. Christ had devoted his faith, his

time and his energy into doing exactly what the Father asked - and it was

deeply satisfying to him. The twelve disciples on the other hand, they were

just getting started; they were easily distracted and often misunderstood

the goals of their work. In this sermon, we listen as Christ helps correct

their temporal thinking and gives them eyes to see just how fulfilling it

can be to labor in the fields of the Lord.
