Jesus used lots of farming illustrations and metaphors to get eternal truths across to His hearers. Agricultural parables were readily accessible to everyone who heard Jesus teach. Today we will see that there is both urgency and joy in the life of the farmer. The harvest is plentiful. It is now. The sower and the reaper work together with joy.

In the words of Jesus, “Lift up your eyes and look!”

– Who are you praying for?

– Who are you serving?

– Who are you showing hospitality?

– Who needs to hear truth from your lips?

– Who needs to be encouraged? Taught? Exhorted?
