Reading – Luke 10

Highlight Verses:

“These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s easy to think that the time when this was written was different. The harvest was great because it was that special time when Jesus split history in two and brought the new covenant to humankind.

It’s also easy to think that the harvest is limited today. In many ways our culture is at an all-time low.

If you think that, you may want to

take another look around.

• Younger generations are seeking God in increasing numbers
• In a reversal of most past trends, more young men are seeking God than young women.
• The Gospel is growing like never before in places where it has been forbidden like Iran.
• Christian music and film is gaining acceptance.
• Forest Frank, Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll have made it on Billboard’s top 100.
• The Chosen Series has seen huge streaming numbers.
• Numerous popular celebrities have accepted Jesus as Savior recently.

The list could go on.

The point is, the world is poised for a revival (or “awakening” to use the grammatically correct term) that could dwarf the Jesus Movement of the 1970’s.

I’ve included verse 3 in the highlight verses because Satan is ticked.

He will do what ever he can to stop the harvest.

Read on. Later in the chapter, Jesus saw Satan fall like lightning.

If you are seeing opposition when you try to share the Gospel, don’t fear. That opposition is just Satan popping his head up like a “Whack-a-Mole.”

Jesus is waiting to send that mole back where he came from.

If we are willing to be sent as workers, we will see a “harvest” beyond what we could imagine.

What signs of revival have you seen lately?
What are you doing to become a “worker” in that harvest?
