Pentacost is the old testament harvest festival, taking place around the time when the wheat and oats were ready to be brought in. Of course this was an image and foreshadowing of the great harvest of humankind that God means to carry out through the preaching of His word.
God gives the seed and God brings about the harvest. From first to last, in things temporal and things eternal, we stand only by His grace.

God's grace is his undeserved mercy towards us.
What do we have that is not a gift flowing from God's grace?
He means for us to use all these gifts in service of our neighbour. The chief way we serve one another is by supporting the church's work: bringing more of God's grace to more of God's people. That's what it means to be a steward!

John 10:16
"And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice."

The sheep know the shepherd's voice and delight to go where He leads. Of course the world, the devil and our own sinful flesh want to pull us in another direction.
But following the shepherd means life, and following anyone else means death. So no matter how difficult the path, let us follow Him!

John 20:19
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you!”

Jesus spent a lot of His time telling the disciples not to be afraid. Our fears constantly hem us in and prevent us from following the Lord's will.
But there is no need to fear. Jesus has conquered. No fear can keep us locked up.
We have been set free by Jesus to live lives that declare His marvellous deeds.

Matthew 21:3
"If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."

Did Jesus really need the donkey?
If the man had refused to give the donkey, would the work of salvation have been derailed?

Of course not. But what an honour for the man who owned this donkey and foal!
Likewise, with us-the Lord needs none of us, but what an honour for God to choose to use our generosity in the work of His church.
