So, let’s pray for the Lord to send us out into the mission field He has for us and be ready to share the gospel with someone today. All we need to do is pray for the Lord of the harvest to send us out as His laborers. And His message couldn’t be any clearer… Our mission field is wide open and ripe for the picking. In this gospel, Jesus says the harvest is great.
Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. We hear Matthew 9 echoed in the book of Luke. There are plenty of lost souls left to harvest. Leave everything else to the Holy Spirit.Īnd if you witness to someone and they don’t believe, shake the dust off and keep going. And ultimately, it’s their decision to follow Jesus or not.īut it is our job to tell them the gospel, to pray for them, and to disciple them if they decide to accept Jesus as their Savior. Only the Holy Spirit has the power to call people to Himself. We don’t have the power to make anyone believe. It’s not up to us whether they become a Christian or not. We just need to keep telling everyone we meet about Him and then the next person, and then the next. I felt discouraged and like I was not being a very good witness.īut Jesus is telling us that some will believe in Him, and others won’t. I thought they were hard-headed and couldn’t see the plain truth in front of them. There have been times in my life when the person I was witnessing to would not accept Jesus. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. It’s hard when we feel like the person we’re witnessing to won’t believe. There is always someone who needs Jesus! And if we’re willing to look around for even a minute, we’ll see the harvest is truly plentiful. And He said there are plenty of people ready to hear the truth about Him right now. An unexpected moment to talk about our beliefs and share the love of Jesus. My pastor likes to call it “a divine appointment”. And we don’t need to go to a far-off land to find it. And He put these people in our path for us to tell them the good news of salvation.
In His wisdom, God has placed us where we are in life for a reason. They may be co-workers, friends, or even members of our own family. However, when we take a closer look, we can see there are so many people in our lives who need Jesus. We surround ourselves with others who are like us and mistakenly think they are already saved. The harvest represents the people in our lives God wants us to share the gospel with.īut sometimes it’s easy to think there isn’t anyone left to witness to. Let’s look deeper into it and find the true meaning behind the message Jesus gives us in this verse. But do we really take the time to understand what Matthew 9:37-38 means in our lives? Instead of the old-fashioned vegetable picking and gathering, it’s become a fun celebration of the fall season.Īnd in church, we read this Bible verse about the harvest each autumn. This time of year, we talk about the harvest a lot. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Right now, far away from the large river, I'm still looking in these images the secret of his images.Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
