“REAPING THE HARVEST”
There is a harvest within the world that we could never put a price on; we will never know the magnitude of the harvest on this side of eternity. We will know the full magnitude once we reach the glory of eternal heaven. This harvest is the harvest of souls and all that those souls have the potential of rendering to the kingdom work of God!
The field where treasure is found is the world. The man in the text of Matthew 13 was not after the world; He was after the hidden treasure in the world. This world is filled with treasures that remain hidden. I believe that there are still treasures hidden from the work and labor of the likes of John Calvin, John Wesley, Johnathan Edwards, and George Whitfield. These men blazed the trails in prayer and powerful preaching during the Great Awakening.
Much of the hidden treasures that we harvest today were hidden in the buried seeds of Christians from days gone by. As we seek to reap the harvest in the world today, may we be ever so diligent to bury the treasure of God’s word and His work all over the field for like-minded believers to harvest in the next generation. There will never be another Billy Graham or Dilly Sunday, but remember this, there will never be another you either. As you work to reap the harvest, be sure you are sowing seeds all over so others will have a harvest to reap in the years to come.
Matthew 13:44—”44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath”
