Jesus' Followers Are the Ones to Do the Great Commission.

I. The Great Commission.

Matthew 28:19 -20 “19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

A. Jesus Appointed 70 and Sent them out Two by Two into Every Cit and Place Where He Would Come.

Luke 10:1-2 “1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

B. He Told Them that the Harvest is Great, But the Labors are Few.

2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.”

C. He Told Them to Pray the Lord of the Harvest would Send Forth Labors into His Harvest.

Matthew 9:37-38 “37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

II. Satan Has Plant Tares in the Harvest Field.

Matthew 13:27-30 “27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.

A. Jesus said to the Servant to Let the Tares to Grow up with the Wheat Until the Harvest Time.

B. Then the Servant was to Gather First the Tares, Bundle them, and Burn Them.

C. Then the Servant was to Gather the Wheat into My Barn.

The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”

D. Jesus Explained that the Enemy that Sowed the Tares was the Devil and that Harvest Would Be at the End of the World.

E. Also Jesus Explained that the Reapers are the Angels.

Matthew 13:39 “39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.”

III. We Are Not to Think that We Can Wait to Be Labors in His Harvest Field, the World.

A. We Are Not to There is Yet 4 Months Before the Harvest Comes. We Are to Lift Up Our Eyes and Look on the Field

B. Because They are White and Already to Harvest.

John 4:35 “35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

C. The Angel is Ready to Come Out of the Temple and Cry With a Loud Voice, Thrust in Your Sickle and Reap for the Time to Reap Has Come. The Harvest of the Earth is Ripe.

Revelation 14:15 “15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
