To those whom Jesus calls to be his disciples, he issues the invitation, “Come follow me.” And we know that if we persevere and live out this call, Jesus will lead us all the way to heaven.But for Christians today, living in the midst of a world environment hostile to Christian ideals and values, it is not that hard to get lost or sidetracked. It is not that hard to lose sight of Jesus. And some ultimately miss out on their intended final destination.How can we respond faithfully to Jesus’ call and receive the fullness of his life? How can we persevere in our faith and make it to our eternal reward?The key is in “keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.”

Jesus has said, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Lk 10:2)Today the fields are ripe for harvest. God has prepared a massive harvest that can compare with the heady missionary days after Pentecost.God today is sounding a call to all His people to participate in bringing in this harvest. It is a call of the utmost importance and urgency.And God looks to you to respond.
