 And this is day one of the 50-day countdown to Pentecost. It's a harvest season. And Jesus' chosen metaphor for the work of his disciples was a harvest of people for the kingdom. He's standing there with them one day and he says, Don't people say it's yet so many months and weeks until the harvest? Look around you. The fields are wide under harvest. And what he was talking about was a harvest of people for the kingdom of God.
