Luke 10:2 Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest… Note here — 1. That God's Church is a harvest field. 2. That the ministers of God are labourers in His harvest, under God, the Lord of the harvest. 3. That to God alone doth it belong to send forth labourers into His harvest, and none must thrust themselves in till God sends them forth. 4. That the number of faithful labourers is comparatively small and few. 5. That it is the Church's duty to pray, and that earnestly and incessantly, to God the Lord of the harvest, to increase the number of faithful labourers, and to send forth more labourers into His harvest. (W. Burkitt.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
