THE HARVEST AND THE HARVESTERS Lesson 12 for March 22, 2014

LABORERS NEEDED “Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”” (Luke 10:2) Jesus saw the Gospel seed growing in the hearts of the crowd around Him. But who would lead them to the Savior? Laborers (both pastors and laymen/laywomen) are needed to harvest the precious seed.

LABORERS NEEDED “Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”” (Luke 10:2) “Our churches are languishing for the want of whole-hearted, self-denying workers. Our smaller churches are losing their vitality because their members do not seek to work for those around them. God can work with few as well as with many, but personal responsibility does not seem to be comprehended as it should be by the members of our churches. Can God bless the church that is indolent and selfish?” EGW (The Review and Herald, June 16, 1891)

BEING GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” (John 14:26) Why does God want to use men and women to spread the Gospel? Isn’t the Holy Spirit able to do that by Himself? Could the angels do that better than us? The testimony of humble repented sinners—who are guided by the power of the Holy Spirit—may persuade other sinners like no angel could do.

BEING GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” (John 14:26) Not everyone is called to mass evangelism. For example, the stories of Andrew, Philip and the Samaritan woman show the power of simple and passionate testimonies. We are called to do so.

WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Luke 24:49) A good laborer must be guided by his employer. The Spirit caught Philip away and took him to Azotus (Acts 8:39-40) The Spirit didn’t let Paul preach in Asia. He guided him to preach in Europe (Acts 16:6-10) “We cannot use the Holy Spirit; the Spirit is to use us… Only to those who wait humbly upon God, who watch for His guidance and grace, is the Spirit given” (EGW, God’s Amazing Grace, July 23)

RECEIVING AUTHORITY “So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”” (John 20:21-23) As the Father commissioned Jesus, so Christ commissions His disciples. Through the Spirit, the Father invested Christ with divine power. Through the Spirit, Jesus likewise invests His disciples with divine power commensurate with their earthly assignments. Every necessary skill, talent, capability, and strength has been supplied. Jesus delegated His authority to His disciples. We must also delegate it to others. No one can do God’s work by himself.

SEEKING THE LOST “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10) Men took the wrong path and don’t know how to get back on the road. Jesus came to seek the lost and to take them back home. He wants us to become finders of the lost. He wants us to love and to reach the lost, regardless of the kind of people they are or the kind of lives they live.

EGW (Christ’s Object Lessons, cp. 15, pg. 197) “In this work all the angels of heaven are ready to co-operate. All the resources of heaven are at the command of those who are seeking to save the lost. Angels will help you to reach the most careless and the most hardened. And when one is brought back to God, all heaven is made glad; seraphs and cherubs touch their golden harps, and sing praises to God and the Lamb for their mercy and loving-kindness to the children of men.”
