John 4 :35Open your eyes and look
at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
This is the word from Jesus to His disciples that the world
which is full of people seeking to find the true God is all around. Their
hearts are ripe for the harvest, they are seeking for salvation but do not know
where to turn to and which God to help them.
In fact these are lost in the quest for eternal life and are
turning to all kinds of false religion. It is indeed a sad thing to see many
educated people who are either spiritually blinded or too proud to accept the
truth of the gospel. Though their hearts are ripe for the harvest but Jesus
said that there is a lack of labourers to bring in the harvest.
Jesus is talking about spiritual workers who would go out to
seek the lost and begin to share the gospel with them. In some parts of the world,
God had already sent early missionaries to go and sow the seeds of the gospel.
Now those who have heard the gospel years before, their hearts are ready and
their souls are thirsting to hear the message of salvation and to give their lives
to Jesus.
The task is left for us to fulfil. We can now reap where we
have not sown before. John 4: 38 I sent
you to reap what you have not worked for. Jesus knows that in many areas of
the world, the harvest of souls is ripe and ready, the people are seeking. All
that we need to do is to go and share the gospel, then we will bring in the new
souls into the kingdom.
Are we ready to offer ourselves as labourers in this end time
harvest of souls? Let us answer the call and tell the Lord, Here am I, send me.
