John 4:35
Don’t you have a saying, It’s still four months until harvest? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

The corn is knee high on the fourth of July, but that’s not when you harvest it. You do that a few months later. But Jesus knew that when it came to people, it was a little different because it’s always time to harvest. Always time to tell people the Good News that Jesus saves. It was true then and it’s still true today. Now is the time to harvest!

Leviticus 23:22
When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God.

They were called to remember. When the Israelites were harvesting their crops, they were required to remember to leave a portion for the poor. It was a very practical way to remind the people of their own dependence on God and their responsibility to care for others. And even though many of us don’t harvest crops anymore, our responsibility is still the same: to remember the poor.

Luke 10:2
He told them, The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.

When supply doesn’t meet the demand, then you have a big problem. And that’s what Jesus was telling His disciples. The world was ripe for salvation, but there weren’t enough people to bring in the harvest. And 2000 years later, the problem still hasn’t changed. The world is still ripe, the harvesters are still few…and prayer is still the answer.

Revelation 5:13
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!

This will be a moment in heaven no one will want to miss. It will be a cacophony of sound when every creature will say the same thing. And they’ll be saying it to the One who deserves all the honor, all the praise, and all the glory forever. He’s the only One who’s worthy to sit on the throne and to receive this special blessing.

Acts 1:11
Men of Galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.

When Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples just stood there with their mouths hanging open in shock. And it wasn’t until a few angels showed up that they remembered their focus wasn’t to be on the heavens, but on the mission, Jesus entrusted to them. The same mission that’s ours to carry out today: to go make more disciples.

John 3:13
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

A man focused on fulfilling every single aspect of the law, met the only Man who could. And he met him at night in secret because Nicodemus wanted some answers. The problem was the Answer was staring him in the face, but he couldn’t see it yet…the Son of Man straight from heaven.
