Real Conversations (Luke 8-10)Sample

When we think of a harvest, images that come to mind are overflowing baskets, trees adorned with fresh fruit, and perhaps even the iconic cornucopia of Thanksgiving. However, a lot more goes into the harvest than just picking fruit. There are hundreds of hours of care and cultivation leading to the overall yield of the crop.
In Luke 10, we see the laborers of the harvest being sent to gather the fruit of God’s labor. Since the beginning of Genesis, God has pointed to and prepared the way for the coming of His Son to reconcile His people to Himself. The people’s need for a Savior has become abundantly clear through the prophets and the Law.
The last element needed was the water of life – Jesus, the Son of God. The long-awaited harvest had come, and the disciples of Jesus were called as “pickers.” Today, we get to see and enjoy the fruits of God’s work through redemption, life change, freedom from the chains of sin, and so much more! Let’s prepare and get to work so we might bear witness to all He has done.
Questions
1. How have you seen God’s work bear fruit in those around you? How long did it take for the harvest to be ready?
2. How can you pray for the harvest in your community, and what do you need to do to be ready?
Prayer:
God, thank You for Your faithfulness and care in preparing us; open our eyes to the fruit of what You are doing and how we can be laborers honoring You. Amen.
