Do you ever grow tired and weary of doing good? In John 4:32-38 Jesus was faint so the disciples went to purchase food. When they returned, they were astonished at the change in Him. He was sitting up, face animated, eyes kindled. He told them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know." From this passage with its images, we may discover several laws of spiritual work.
1. Spiritual work is refreshing to the soul and body (vs 34). If we love spiritual work, it will kindle our souls.
2. There are seasons in the spiritual sphere, of sowing and reaping, just as in farming (vs 35).
3. Spiritual work links the workers in unity (vs 36)
4. Spiritual work has rich rewards (vs 36-38).
Conclusion: God will reward all we do, and all we try to do, and all we wish to do. He will be our reward forever and ever.
