The Harvest Is Plentiful But The Laborers Are Few

Kumar begins by emphasizing the importance of remembering the heavenly vision given to Lord Jesus Christ and its continuation through His work on the cross and the ongoing mission of the church. He highlights that Christ's work of redemption is complete, but the work of building and preparing the church for His return is still in progress, with the ultimate goal of presenting a pure bride to Him. Kumar stresses that Jesus intercedes for us and that the church must reflect this heavenly vision through active participation in God's ongoing work. He urges believers to recognize the urgency of the approaching day of judgment, citing scriptures like Hebrews 10:23-25, which call for mutual encouragement and love, especially as the Lord’s return nears. Using a practical analogy of crushing grapes to produce wine, Kumar illustrates how human beings are being crushed in God's wrath, referencing Revelation 14:14-20, where the blood of the crushed grapes symbolizes divine judgment. He warns that many around us are destined for destruction if they do not know Christ and emphasizes the need for believers to actively participate in evangelism, following Jesus’ example in John 4:34-38. Kumar concludes by encouraging self-examination, prayer, and stepping out of comfort zones to fulfill the church’s divine mission, trusting in God's grace and gifts to serve effectively in His harvest. He calls the church to be diligent laborers in these final days, working together in love and unity to build His body.
