Let's Work While it's Day

“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” – John 9:4

Billy Graham said, "The evangelistic harvest is always urgent. The destiny of men, women, and nations is always being decided. Every generation is strategic. We are not responsible for the past generation, and we cannot bear full responsibility for the next one. But we do have our generation. God will hold us responsible as to how well we fulfill our responsibilities to this age and take advantage of our opportunities."
There’s a reason why we’re still alive on Earth. As pastor Jason has mentioned several times, there’re two things, which we cannot do in heaven. One is to sin and the next is to evangelize.

Everyone of us have a testimony. We know Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. We are recipients of His love, grave and mercy. And because of that, we have a responsibility to share the Good News to all we know and also to all whom we don’t know.

Jesus told His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest" (Matthew 9:37). The observers are many. The spectators are many. The complainers are many. But the laborers are few.

Some Christians say, "I want to be a missionary. I will cross the sea for Christ." That is good, but let's also cross the street to talk to our neighbors. Wherever we go, we can be representatives of the Lord. Jesus reminded His disciples that the harvest field is all around them: "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" - John 4:35

By His grace, let’s be working to expand the Kingdom of Heaven and minimize the population of hell.
