Matthew 9:37-38 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. “Harvest”... Luke 10:1-2. The Lord spoke of the spiritual harvest of souls for salvation. “Pray ye therefore”... Jesus affirmed the fact that believers’ prayers participate in the fulfillment of God’ plans. The Scripture above reminds me of the song about the harvest. Some of the words are... My house is full, but my fields are empty. Who will go and work for me today? It seems all my children want to sit around my table. No one wants to work in my field. The harvest is really the end of the world. We, laborers, must hurry to reap the wheat. Many believe, as I do, that the Lord Jesus will be coming back soon and will take the wheat (Christians) to the great barn in the sky. We ministers of the Word must work for time is drawing very short to work. Those trying to get into the family of God must come soon, or be left behind. The 13th chapter of Matthew talks about the seed that is planted by the Son of man. It tells of how it grows up with the tares until harvest time. The seed is planted, then someone comes in and waters it, but God gets the increase. The wheat that grows is symbolic of the Christians. Some plant the Word, someone else comes along and strengthens it, then after all is said and done that Christian belongs to Jesus. The Christian grows in the midst of the world filled with evil people (the tares), but then at harvest time, Jesus comes to receive His own. The tares are gathered and burned. The wheat (Christians) are carried away to heaven to be with Jesus. I think verse 43 of the 13th chapter of Matthew says it all: Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. There is little time left to get the Word out. Everyone who can speak at all of Jesus, need to be about the Fathers business. Work for the night is coming, when mans work is done!!!!!
