Title: Let's Be Harvesters (Matthew 9:35-38)
Contents How and for what are we living in the last days to live? It is an era where we cannot help but worry. The things we seek and live will be of no value and useless when the Lord comes. Even at the end of our lives, it will be.
If you don't reap now, you may lose your chance forever. We must be harvesters. How to become a harvester?
1. You must know that you are a harvester.
We must know that Jesus called us to be harvesters at a time when "the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." Now is the time of the spiritual harvest.
There are many people in this church and that church. But the harvesters are lacking. The reason is that everyone is just watching. There are many spectators everywhere, but not many workers. This is the church's troubles. (Job 1:14)
If you turn away from the Lord's work, one day the Lord will also turn away from your earnest pleas.
To do this work of sharing the gospel and leading souls to the Lord, you must have the spirit of martyrdom. Because Satan also interferes even more strongly. May we all become harvesters in the name of the Lord. I hope you have a sense of calling and duty as a harvester yourself.
2. You must have pity on the soul.
The Lord preached and taught the gospel of the kingdom in every city and village, in the streets and in the synagogues, and healed and healed all the sick and the weak.
When the Lord saw humans living without God, He saw them as poor humans who were bleeding and exhausted. So it was embarrassing.
The etymology of “have pity”, “have compassion” and “have pity” is a source of sympathy and emotion. It means that the intestines, lungs, heart, and liver work. It can be seen as meaning "his heart was touched" and "his liver melted".
Dear saints, Our eyes must also be opened to see the millions of people dying around us without Jesus. They should be able to see what this is in the end. Those souls should be pityed.
3. We must boast only in Jesus.
People are all proud. There were also Jews. Because of the pride of the people of Israel, Hebrews, Pharisees, the Law and circumcision, even when Jesus Christ came, we could not receive Him as the Messiah.
John the Baptist undoubtedly devalued the pride of the Jews. The Apostle Paul, too, gave up his boasting without any regrets (Philippians 3:7-8).
Pride is a stone to go through. Self-pride, pride, arrogance, arrogance, and self-absolutization are the enemies of the gospel. As long as these are in place, you cannot receive Jesus.
Now let's just brag about our Jesus. Let's do it cool. Let's try it so that others will be envious and puzzled. In season or out of season, we must preach what we have seen and heard and know. We should not be ashamed to become Jesus' hands and feet, crossing rivers and mountains, and entering and leaving from house to house. It is the soul that was saved by force, the church revival, the Heavenly Father.
