Matthew 9:37 (NKJV) 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
The harvest is plentiful. It’s ripe and ready.
The world has never been as corrupt and vile as it is now. It’s possible that there are areas of the world that are even more corrupt than Sodom and Gomorrah was when God destroyed it.
That might make it seem like it would be harder to harvest, but in reality it means that people are searching. In many cases they don’t really even know what they’re searching for, but they are searching nonetheless.
The question now is “are we offering them hope in Jesus?”.
We can offer them lots of other things; good music, fancy church buildings, nice-sounding clichés and a lot of other things that look good on the surface, and might even make them feel better for a little while.
But will these things lead them to Jesus? Will they cause them to see their lost condition and recognize their need for a Savior?
As the body of Christ, we need to make sure we’re pointing people to the source of life. It’s our obligation and our duty.
It’s easy to give them the other things mentioned above because they might make them feel better for a time. Ultimately, though, we need to be sure that everything we do is with the end goal of leading them to eternal life in Christ.
Are we doing this? Are we prepared to reap in this massive harvest of souls? Let’s make sure we are. And if we’re not, it’s never too late to start!
