John 4:35-38
35 Do you not say, “There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
God sows through us as He did through others from Eden until Christ. So now with the gospel the crops are ripe for bearing fruit for the food we should labor. No matter who plants or waters, it is always God who brings the harvest for eternal life in Christ. Our duty is wages, the souls of men are eternal life fruit of the harvest, and God's glory brings rejoicing together.
