Our Christian movement was one that once soared in its efforts to share the message of Jesus with others. This feature was evidenced through our songs, church events (e.g., gospel meetings, revivals), and our missionary efforts. While many of these features remain, we often need reminders that reaching the lost is a matter that flows directly from the heart of God. In this series, we will be reminded of God’s heart for the lost so that we might be moved to reach others with the same heart.

In the Fall, it is fitting to consider themes of Harvest. Harvest is language Jesus used to describe the condition f people who felt the pain and misery of life. Jesus acknowledge that this represented a large population and thus, there would be a need for many to meet the needs of this plentiful harvest. Here, the phrase “each one, reach one” becomes even more relevant.

Jesus regularly ate with sinners (those who were far from God). These meals were the source of complaints from religious leaders. On one occasion, the complaint led to Jesus telling three impactful stories that not only explained his mealtime habits, but they also reveal the heart of God for the lost.
