“As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” John 20:21—-to put in a sickle, to reap. All over the world there are crises in lives; they are all around us, unbelieving and Christians. We meet them by the score every day we live, but unless we are set on obeying our master’s orders we shall never see them. Supposing the crisis comes in my father’s life, my brother’s life, am I there as a laborer that that harvest may be reaped for Jesus? Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations”: and we cannot disciple others unless we ourselves are disciples. The evangelical emphasis has too often been, “So many souls saved, thank God, now they are all right,” the idea being that we have done this thing for God. It is God who saves; we have to do the discipling after people are saved. By Oswald Chambers. Oswald is one of my favorites! Praise God!
