At work today I was able to talk to a coworker about the Lord. She said she's a Christian and that she thinks we're in the end times. She said that she hopes we're in the end times. I couldn't help but to ask her if it matters. If we are in Christ it doesn't matter if we're in the end times or not. We're going to be with Jesus whether He comes for us or whether we die and go to Him, it's just that simple. The main thing we need to worry about is sharing the gospel. Jesus said in Mathew 9:37 Then He said to the disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
The harvest is the multitudes of people who are ready to come to Jesus, if He is presented to them. And the laborers? We are those laborers! What does a farmer do when his crop is ready to harvest? He brings in the harvesters (the laborers) and they don't stop working until the field has been picked clean. We also can't stop working until everyone has had the chance to come to Christ.
I'm lacking in this. I try, but I can honestly say that I don't try hard enough. If I spent as much time working on the harvest for Jesus as I do working in my own garden there's no telling what could be accomplished. I have the sneaking suspicion that many others are in the same boat as me. One way or the other we are going to be judged the King of kings, let's harvest His fields until they are picked clean!
