“There are seasons in the spiritual sphere – sowing seasons and reaping seasons, just as there are in farming. ‘Say not ye,’ said Jesus, ‘There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest?’ – that is to say, it was four months from that time till the harvest. They sowed their wheat in December; they began to reap it in April. ‘Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.’”
– John Albert Broadus, dubbed “the world’s greatest living preacher” by Charles Spurgeon
