The Work of Witness by T. M. Moore at the Colson Center
Work Matters (6)
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Matthew 9:37, 38
The Apostle Paul referred to the task of evangelizing the lost as "work" (2 Tim. 4:5). There can be little doubt that the Lord intended for our work to include consistent sowing of His Word into the mission field He has assigned us, so that, in and through all our work, the word of the Gospel of the Kingdom accompanies and explains the transformed lives we live before the people around us each day. Jesus said there is a great harvest of souls to be reaped for the Kingdom of God. All that is lacking is faithful laborers who will take up that work as their own and go like Jesus to seek and to save the lost.
Amen.
