The Harvest Is Big, You Are Sent

There are more people around you who need Jesus than there are people telling them about Him. That is not a guilt trip. That is just the count.

Matthew 9:37-38 says, "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." Jesus never said the harvest was unresponsive. He said the workers were few.

Most believers hear the word labourer and picture somebody with a title and a stage. But Jesus was talking to ordinary followers, and He was talking about them.

Matthew 5:13 says, "Ye are the salt of the earth." Not you should try to be. You already are. Your workplace, your hostel room, your group chat, that is a field nobody with a title is walking into.

Here is what takes the pressure off. Acts 1:8 says, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me." The power came first, then the witnessing. You are not working this up out of courage you do not have, you are drawing on a Spirit you already received.

You are not being recruited today. You were already sent, and the One who sent you is living inside you.
