8. is a humanly incurable
disease that ultimately leads
to death

9. 8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of
seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.

10. 9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be
done again;
there is nothing new under
the sun.

11. 10 Is there anything of which
one can say,
“Look! This is something
new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.

13. John 4:27-38

14. John 4:27-38
27 Just then his disciples
returned and were
surprised to find him
talking with a woman.

15. John 4:27-38
But no one asked, “What
do you want?” or “Why
are you talking with her?”

16. John 4:27-38
28 Then, leaving her water
jar, the woman went back
to the town and said to
the people,

17. John 4:27-38
29 “Come, see a man who
told me everything I ever
did. Could this be the
Christ?”

18. John 4:27-38
30 They came out of the
town and made their way
toward him.

19. John 4:27-38
31 Meanwhile his disciples
urged him, “Rabbi, eat
something.”

20. John 4:27-38
32 But he said to them, “I
have food to eat that you
know nothing about.”

25. Like drug
addicts,
Christians are
always
obsessed with
finding the
next “high”.

26. John 4:27-38
33 Then his disciples said
to each other, “Could
someone have brought
him food?”

27. John 4:27-38
34 “My food,” said
Jesus, “is to do the will of
him who sent me and to
finish his work.

28. John 4:27-38
35 Do you not say, ‘Four
months more and then
the harvest’?

29. John 4:27-38
I tell you, open your eyes
and look at the fields!
They are ripe for harvest.

30. John 4:27-38
36 Even now the reaper
draws his wages, even
now he harvests the crop
for eternal life,

31. John 4:27-38
so that the sower and the
reaper may be glad
together.

32. John 4:27-38
37 Thus the saying ‘One
sows and another reaps’
is true. 38 I sent you to
reap what you have not
worked for.

33. John 4:27-38
Others have done the
hard work, and you have
reaped the benefits of
their labor.”
