Missionary Moment

Timothy W. Batchelor
From the beginning to the end of Scripture, the Lord was seeking to gather people to Himself. Adam and Eve sinned in the garden and they hid themselves, but the Lord came to gather them back to Himself. The very last verses of Revelation read “The Spirit and the bride say “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come;” (Revelation 22:17) Throughout the Old Testament the Lord promises that He will gather His people together (Psalm 106:47, Isaiah 11:12, Jeremiah 29:14, Ezekiel 11:17). In Matthew 23:37-38 Jesus laments that though He wanted to gather his people under His wings as a hen gathers her chicks, they would not. In John 11:52 we see that the purpose of Jesus was to “gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.” In the last days Jesus will “send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds…” (Matthew 24:31)
Jesus is a gatherer and those who are with Him are to be gatherers. In Matthew 9:36-38 Jesus bemoans the shortage of laborers in the fields to gather the harvest, so he exhorts us to ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into the harvest. So important is the gathering work to Jesus . . .
