People have different perspectives. Our assessments aren't always true.

...We must be willing to look at things from God’s perspective.

 
When Jesus met a Samaritan woman at a well, He tells her that He’s the long-awaited Messiah she has mentioned. The lady leaves her water pot, goes to the city, and tells her friends about the One who has just changed her life.

 
Jesus’ perspective: Witness – save all who come unto him.

 
Returning from buying food, the disciples marveled that Jesus was even talking to this woman. Jews didn’t mix with Samaritans.

 
The disciples’ perspective: Prejudice

 
But Christ changes their perspective. He tells them about a ripe harvest of lost souls and commissions them to go into the entire world and preach the gospel.

 
John 4:35 …. Lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

 
What is your perspective? Do you see souls dying, facing eternity without Jesus? People need the Lord. Tell them about Him and what He’s done for you.
