"If we but realized how earnestly Jesus worked to sow the world with gospel seed, we, living at the very close of probation, would labor untiringly to give the bread of life to perishing souls. Why are we so cold and indifferent? Why are our hearts so unimpressible? Why are we so unwilling to give ourselves to the work to which Christ consecrated His life? Something must be done to cure the terrible indifference that has taken hold upon us. Let us bow our heads in humiliation as we see how much less we have done than we might have done to sow the seeds of truth. 8T 46.2"
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;"
EGW's passage echoes the sentiment of Matthew 9:37 regarding the need for laborers in the harvest field. She emphasizes the urgency of sharing the gospel and laments the lack of zeal among believers.
