Commitment

Revelation pictures the harvest that comes quickly on the heels of the final threefold message of warning. The decisions made from this warning message are then rewarded at the harvest—either for good or bad. Will you choose to accept Jesus’ substitution for you that you may be dried and ready for the harvest of the wheat?
