The Harvest Is Ready

DEVOTION BY POSTED 11/21/2019 12:00:01 AM ON John 4:35 NASB POSTED TO THE The Spirit in Our Souls Devotion

Do not say, "There are yet four months and then the harvest"? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.  John 4:35 NASB

Their conversation concerned people who hadn’t heard the gospel. The friends offered different theories and Bible verses to back their claims. But I figured we don’t have the right to ask God that question when we have not bothered to share the gospel. If we are so bothered about God’s judgment, we should tell people about the truth that will set them free.

Jesus left us not only a harvest but also laborers who would work to bring people into the barn.

We have been commissioned to bring in the harvest, which will be lost forever or destroyed if we don’t gather them. The harvest is all around us and ready for reaping. Our disobedience could cost someone their soul.

If we believe in the gospel and the glorious end we are going to have, then we should eagerly tell people about God. God has left us with a harvest. We have the Holy Spirit who empowers us to be witnesses. With His power, we are capable of doing what the Lord requires.

What are you doing about the harvest?

    Do you think it is be a little stretch to say that our action or lack of it can cause someone to go to hell? God knows from the foundations of the earth who are His. If we don’t act our Lord will certainly find someone who will. A blessing which could have been yours is given to another.

    What a timely reminder of our responsibility! Believers must be in the "fields" sharing the gospel and reaping the harvest.
