John 4:35 The Message       “As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It’s harvest time!”

Jesus likened people to the harvest. They are ready to hear truth – the truth about God’s love.

A farmer only has a certain amount of time to reap the harvest before it spoils. So it is with people as well. We never know when a life can be snuffed out. God desires all to be saved. The enemy desires all to be taken to hell. The only thing that prevents people from going to hell is a personal relationship with the Lord.

God sent Jesus to pay the price for our sin so that we could be spared from hell. Jesus willingly suffered and died for us but we must willingly accept what He did for us. Countless people don’t know this! What a great way for the enemy to cash in and take people to hell.

There is an urgency for people to be saved. God’s heart breaks every time someone dies and goes to hell. Our hearts should break also.

I recently watched a youtube video of Penn Jillette, a Las Vegas entertainer who happens to be an atheist. A Christian witnessed to him and what Penn said was very powerful. It’s worth watching! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhG-tkQ_Q2w
