The Day Jesus Crossed the Line, Part 7

TEXT: John 4:28-34

Ray Stedman said, "There is a deep satisfaction in obedience to what God wants that is just like eating food: it fills you up; you feel satisfied, ministered to, fed. Many have discovered that there is nothing like obeying God to give a deep sense of satisfaction to life."
 
After the Samaritan woman accepted Jesus' message and went back to tell the people in her town, Jesus addresses His disciples (who had arrived as Jesus was talking to the woman). They had come back from getting food, and say to Jesus, "Master, eat." All the while, they are wondering about what has transpired between Jesus and the Samaritan woman.
 
Jesus says to them, "I have meat to eat that ye know not of." This sets the disciples on a new round of wondering. "Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?" Jesus says to them, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."
