1. My food is to do the will of God (31-38)
Jesus gave his whole heart and energy to save one Samaritan woman. He must have been exhausted. But he was full of joy saying, "My food is to do God's will and to finish it." He opened the disciples' eyes to see the spiritual harvest field ripe for harvest. Surely many prophets such as Elijah, Elisha and Amos sowed the word of God and Jesus harvested. Now Jesus sowed the gospel seed in a Samaritan woman, and the disciples could enjoy the plenty of harvest. We must be joyful when we harvest because of others' hard labors. We must also sow joyfully not only for us but also for the future harvesters.
2. Now we believe not because you have said... (39-42)
The witness of a woman whose life was changed caused the whole village to believe in Jesus. But they did not stop there. They themselves invited Jesus to listen to his word more. Later they confessed, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world." Their faith was upgraded from indirect, second hand faith into direct and personal faith.
