The Harvest Is Ripe


Matthew 9:37-38 says

Jesus said to his disciples “The Harvest is plentiful but laborers are few. So

we need to make ourselves available to reach out to many people who

aren't saved. He wants to reveal Himself to everyone who will accept Him.

But first we need to accept the fact that we can’t do anything on our own

or with our own power. Here is some cross references- In Revelation it says.

For the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

And in Leviticus it says “When you reap the harvest in your land you shall

not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you

gather any gleaning (or to pick up leftovers) from you harvest. It also says in

Leviticus “When you come into the land I which I gave you and reap its

harvest than you shall bring a sheaf (wheat) of the first fruits of your

harvest to the priest. The Lord says that the harvest is truly great but the

laborers are few therefore we need to pray for more laborers to be sent

out into the harvest and we need to have our hearts, minds, soul and spirit

to be more like Jesus so we can be laborers for Him. So I feel like its our job

to live our lives fully and completely according to His will.
