Harvest

My food is to do the will of Him who sent me. Jesus told them, "Don't you say, 'there are still four months, then comes the harvest? Listen to what I am telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest. The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruits for eternal life, so the sower and reaper can rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true: 'onre sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap what you didn't labour for; others have laboured, and you have benefited from their labour." Jn 34-38

The time had come when sowing and reaping coincided. John the Baptist sowed the seed, Jesus and His disciples reaped.

This echoes the prophesy in Amos: Hear this! The days are coming - this is the Lord's declaration - when the plowman will overtake the reaper, and the one who treads the grapes, the sower of seed.' 9:13 This scripture refers to the messianic age, a time of swift, abundant harvest. (HCSB commentary)

It this day do you know what part you play? Are you doing your part? or has sin waylaid you, deceived you into a life of self? If so it is easy to remedy, repent and start again, you will be free to start without recrimination. You do not need to beat yourself over the head or pay penance, it is finished, He has paid for you. Get up and begin!Amen!
