“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work. John 4:46
This verse is wedged between the story of the woman at the well who’s spiritual thirst was quenched for a lifetime, and Jesus’ call to fields ripe for harvest.
While passing through Samaria Jesus ministered to a lone woman while the disciples went in to town to buy food. A great deal occurred while they were gone. (Read John 4:1-26) The disciples returned with dinner but the woman who found Jesus had also returned with everyone she could find. (Evangelism can be that easy!) Jesus’ friends encouraged Him to eat but His response is the verse you read above.
If we want to be like Jesus our true satisfaction, should be drawn from arising daily and serving the LORD in any opportunity granted.
Have a great weekend,
