RIPE FOR HARVEST
TEXT: MATTHEW 9:35-38
Key Verse:
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few" (Matthew 9:37).
Many children are seeking the truth, they do not know who Jesus is neither do they understand why He died for us. The parents of some children have never taken them to Church or any Bible class where they could learn about Jesus and His life-giving words.
These children desperately need the truth, and are seeking someone to point them to the right way they should go. They are ripe for harvest. However, there are many false teachers out there carrying wrong doctrines that would lead these poor souls astray.
Jesus had compassion on sinners, and came to the world because He does not want anyone to die and go to hell. He needs faithful labourers for the work of winning souls into His Kingdom. He is calling His friends to quickly go out and seek the lost multitudes so that they would not perish. He is calling you today to rescue sinful children from hell fire.
But before you can join the Lord's workforce, you need to surrender your life to Jesus, make Him your Lord and Saviour, then you also will be qualified to join in harvesting souls to God's Kingdom.
Prayer: O Lord, help me to reach out to sinful children today.
