How do we know that Jesus is sending us to reap souls?

In John 4:38, Jesus declares, 'I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor. Other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.' This indicates His intentional call to the disciples—and by extension to all believers—to participate in the gathering of souls for His kingdom. The authority and the mission given by Christ is backed by the work He has already accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection. The assurance that He is sending us rests on the truth that God has been at work before, preparing hearts and planting seeds of faith. Therefore, Christians can confidently engage in sharing the Gospel, knowing that God orchestrates the opportunity for witnessing.
