A Call to Kingdom Laborers in These Last Days

"Then He said to 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 9:37–38 (NKJV)

Narration

The dusty roads of Galilee echoed with footsteps of weary travelers. Jesus, moved with compassion, saw not just crowds—but a harvest. Their souls were ripe, their hearts searching, and their lives ready for the transforming power of the gospel. It was not just a season—it was the time.

In every generation, God opens a window—a moment where fields are white and ready (John 4:35). We live in such a time again. The world groans for truth, and the Kingdom of God is calling its citizens to labor—not with sickles of steel, but with hearts ablaze with mercy, faith, and the message of salvation.

Exposition & Interpretation

The harvest is not a metaphor of mere evangelism; it is the culmination of God’s divine purpose—to gather souls into His Kingdom. It is a call to urgency and faithfulness. Jesus didn’t say the field would be ready later—He said, "it is already white for harvest" (John 4:35). This means believers must act now.

In Luke 10:2, Jesus repeats this call as He sends out the seventy: “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” The need for workers isn't new. What is needed are those who will say, "Here I am, send me" (Isaiah 6:8).

You may not be a preacher on a stage—but your kindness, your story, your prayer, your giving, your testimony—are all tools of harvest. The Spirit equips each believer uniquely to sow, water, and reap (1 Corinthians 3:6–9). And remember, every soul matters.
