The Gospel Harvest

Jesus is the greatest preacher who has ever lived. His words came to multitudes, but he also commissioned others to preach the gospel by virtue of their union with him and under his authority. For Jesus and for his appointed heralds, the word sifts and sorts the hearers. There is no doubt that there will be a great harvest, but also no doubt that the hearing of the word will always be mixed. We should take great encouragement from the parables about the sower and the seed, and not lose heart in the preaching of his word.
