White to Harvest

 

“Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed  time will come. It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert. Therefore, be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— in case he should come suddenly and find you asleep. What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!’” (Mark 13:33-36)

When the Lord Jesus says something once, it’s important. When he says it twice, we really should sit up and take notice. But what ought we do when He says the same thing four times in five verses?

Please listen, my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ: stay on the alert. The time is short. The Lord could call YOU to your eternal reward before you finish reading this. Or the last trumpet could sound before the end of the day, to call all His true sons and daughters to the place He’s been preparing for us.

Please, don’t fall back. Not even an inch. Keep pressing forward toward the mark of the high call of God in Christ Jesus. I say it again, time is short. There is still much work to be done for the Master. Seek Him for how He wants to use you in His fields that are white for harvest.
