<p>20:5&nbsp;<em>Again He went out</em>- The very same words used of how the Lord &lsquo;again went out&rsquo; to teach the Gospel (Mk. 2:13).</p><p><em>About the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise</em>-&nbsp;<em>Peri</em>&nbsp;(&ldquo;about&rdquo;) used in relation to time doesn&rsquo;t have to mean &lsquo;roughly at&rsquo; that time, it could mean that throughout the sixth, ninth and eleventh hours, the Lord searched for workers. In this case we see an indication of His urgent need for workers. The harvest really is there to be brought in, all complaints that &lsquo;nobody is interested&rsquo; are simply a reflection of a serious mismatch between the potential harvest and the approach being taken to harvesting it. Typically great effort is expended on trying to get people to sign up to a denominational position and be regular attenders at meetings- and if that fails, the feeling is that evangelism has failed because the harvest is simply not there, &lsquo;nobody is interested&rsquo;. But the clear impression from this parable and others is that the harvest is indeed there- the problem in harvesting it is with the labourers. The work of harvesting isn&rsquo;t the same as doing a public relations exercise for a denomination. We may or may not succeed in getting folks to sign up for our denomination or fellowship; but the work of harvesting men and women into Christ isn&rsquo;t necessarily the same thing as that. And that work is guaranteed of success.</p>
