The Harvest is Plentiful, But the Workers…
Luke 10:2 and a Soybean Field, Nemaha County, Nebraska.
“And He was saying to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’” Luke 10:2
The Harvest Is Plentiful and Needs To Be Worked
Many years ago I worked for an evangelistic organization called Campus Crusade for Christ. I worked as a photographer for their magazine Worldwide Challenge. Being on the staff of a very evangelistic focus organization gave me a harvest mindset, and I often looked for opportunities to tell others about Jesus.
I left Campus Crusade for Christ many years ago, and to be honest my evangelistic mindset faded significantly. I still have a heart to serve God and I do it, but I don’t look for evangelism opportunities like I used to.
It seems the longer we live as Christians the less we share the Gospel with people who don’t follow Christ. We tend to only surround ourselves with other believers, but Jesus calls us to work the harvest. May God help us all to look for opportunities to speak to others about Jesus.
Read all of Luke 10.
Pat you are right, as I make a mile stone birthday, I ignore every chance to share who Christ is and what He has done for me. I’m allowing the hatred of the world toward Him to close off the work of the harvest. I pray the Lord will bring Ng you back to be His harvest worker for the Lord. We live in a time where Christ, His atonement and His desire to set His people free is almost forgotten.
