JESUS IS CALLING US

"Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."

John 4:35
King James Version

T. W. Dennington wrote the hymn "WORK TODAY FOR JESUS". The words in this hymn should make us realize we need to be working for Jesus.

"Who will labor for the Master? Who will hear His call today? Who will gladly reap the harvest? Who will now the call obey?
Come, come, work today for Jesus; White the harvest, look around about thee; Come, come, work today for Jesus, Precious souls thy hire shall be."

Jesus is not only calling us to work for Him, He is also calling us to rest when we grow weary. Fanny Crosby wrote the hymn "JESUS IS TENDERLY CALLING YOU HOME". I love the words in this beautiful hymn.

"Jesus is calling the weary to rest, Calling today, calling today, Bring Him your burden and you shall be blest; He will not turn you away."

Let's work for Jesus and then let Him give us rest. He loves us so much that He died for us. What a privilege is ours to be part of the family of God and to have Jesus as our Saviour.
