The Harvest is Plentiful

"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 9:35-38)

Jesus is talking about calling workers for the Kingdom of God. God has been calling workers since Noah was called to build the Ark of salvation, and God is still calling workers today. We live in a time rapidly closing in on the return of Christ, and we are a part of those workers called at the eleventh hour. And workers will be called until the moment the trumpet sounds.

The task is great. In India alone there are over one billion people. So many have not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and some days it just seems too overwhelming. Yet we must go and bring the truth to the lost so that God may be glorified in these last days. The reward, regardless of the amount of work or where it was done, is eternal life for those who believe.

We must all fulfill the purpose we have been called to, and work diligently and faithfully, with love and care for others.

Prayer Requests

India is No. 37 on the World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to live as a Christian. “While most Indian Christians are relatively free, many parts of the country remain key battlegrounds between Hindu extremists and Christians,” according to the list. “Violence against pastors and church gatherings continues on a monthly basis, usually in rural areas.”

Pray for the oppressed of India.
