We can’t make something ripe. It’s going to take time. We can’t make someone ripe for Jesus. It’s going to take time. And so we have to lovingly, patiently wait until someone is ripe, and then we pick them. We tell them about Jesus, we love them, serve them, inform them, instruct them, and then their heart’s open to Jesus as he’s been preparing them. You’re going to see a guy today who is in the process of becoming ripe for the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a man who is in process, and then God is going to send another man for the harvest, to pick the ripe fruit of this man’s life and to introduce him to Jesus. It’s an awesome text. Let’s read it. It’s Acts 8:26-40 And today, we get to see the God—yes, he loves crowds, and we’ve seen thousands saved through the book of Acts. But today the camera hones in on one guy. You know why? God doesn’t just love numbers, he loves faces and he loves you and he knows your name.
