10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest (Luke 10:1-2).
As was mentioned in the post from 2 days ago, God uses people as instruments of grace. We are those people, and it is God’s will that we should try and be good workers and servants for the purpose of spreading the Gospel. The spread of the Gospel is the spread of God’s love to people in a world that desperately needs God to be a part of their lives. When God enters into the life of someone, they are forever changed; this change is one in which they are restored and renewed. God uses the harvest as a metaphor for the gathering of people to Himself. This gathering is the restoration of the creation in Christ.
