Harvestfield (Luke 10:2) |

Fields of green as far as the eye
can see emphasize a narrow path of beautiful lilies, visually
leading us to the mountains. Gazing upward, the clouds indicate
this day is soon to end. Plentiful to harvest are fields of
lentils where blue blossoms have developed into pods. The sea of
lentils represents “the world”.
Planted in the middle are lilies, portraying the faithful
believers of Jesus Christ in the world. These flowers are
symbolic of rebirth and the “resurrection of Christ”. The death
and resurrection of Christ allows for spiritual rebirth.
Inviting His spirit to dwell in us makes us a new creation …
with an eternal inheritance: treasures of Heaven, where thieves
cannot steal, nor moths destroy.
Lilies shaped as trumpets, sound praise to the Lord. As we
follow the path we notice the lilies are transformed into
people. Washed by the blood of the Lamb these people are clothed
in robes of white, signifying they are the righteousness of God.
People have their arms raised in praise and worship, they are
praying, preaching, teaching: proclaiming the good news of Jesus
Christ to the world. The path of the righteous leads to the
majestic purple mountains, symbolic of God all-powerful! The
path is narrow for many will choose not to follow … yet others
are hungry for God.
The “spiritual” harvest is ready
–
though the workers are few. Every believer is called to this
mission of proclamation. So let us not grow weary but endure,
and pray for more laborers. For God does not desire that any
should perish, but that all would repent and spend forever with
Him … spread the Good News. |
