If you love to travel to different places and found out that there is a promo for an airplane fare? What's your immediate response. Would you grab it now or later?
Here is a story of a Samaritan woman who immediately went home without hesitation. And share Jesus to the people at her home town.
27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”
30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
The Samaritan woman didn't wait until the next hour. She then went home immediately and shared Jesus to the people in their community. I guess with too much excitement, she even left her water jar so she can share Jesus to her friends and loved ones. As a first timer of meeting Jesus, the woman didn't care of the earthly things and left it behind away to spread out the she met the Messiah called "Christ".
36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Just like the Samaritan woman, after she heard Jesus telling her "I, the one speaking to you—I am he.” John 4:26:) She then returned to her community and shared Jesus to the people.
The overall goal of sharing Jesus around you is for them to have eternal if they believe. If they don't, don't force the issue. Not your fault. It's not you that will go to Hell but it's them. Besides It's the Father that draws people to His Son Jesus as mentioned in John 6:44.You don't have to be a degree holder , master or a doctorate degree in Theology. You just need to have willing heart to share the gospel. Like the woman who eagerly went home and share Jesus to her friends.
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.
41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “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.”
Look what happened because of one Samaritan who even didn't mind leaving her jar just to went home immediately and share Jesus. She probably was so thirsty that time but she didn't mind it. She was just so excited and spread the news about Messiah that they've waiting for.
She never setup a crusade or something that can attract the people in her community. She just purely shared Jesus to them. And see, more people believed in Jesus because of her.
Share Jesus now. Not later, nor tomorrow. Do it now. Why wait for tomorrow if you can do it today?
John 4:27-42
Here is a story of a Samaritan woman who immediately went home without hesitation. And share Jesus to the people at her home town.

What do you have in life that prevent us of sharing Jesus to the people around you? Left it behind and go out and spread the love of Jesus and tell them to have faith in Him as their Savior and Lord.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
While the woman was still at her place in Samaria. Let's go back to Jesus disciples as they already arrived. They offered Jesus something to eat. Well, it's good to be hospitable but surprisingly Jesus response was quiet odd that didn't understand.The food that Jesus wants is more important that why they've offered. A spiritual food which an obedient to the will of the Father and finish his work.

What's our priority?
What's more important to us? Is it the earthly things that won't last or the heavenly things that will last forever. To where we mostly invest our time? to the things in this world or to the things above which is more rewarding? Jesus was so and more concerned of the lost souls than any material things. Because if they don't hear the gospel of salvation they wouldn't know they need Him as their Lord and savior. And their life will end up to the eternal destruction of their souls.
Jesus was telling His disciples to take the opportunity to reach out those who are lost. He compared them like the fields that are already ripe for harvest. In other words, it's the right time to go out and share good news about Him as the Savior of the world.The Messiah that the people of Israel has been waiting for. Share Jesus to the people around you now. Not later, not tomorrow but today.
36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
