Harvestfield by Lorna Effler

Luke 10:2 -Artist interpretation: 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...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!
