CHRIST the REAPER: “He who reaps…gathers fruit for eternal life” (Jn 4:36). This the Lord told His disciples just after the harvesting of the woman at Sychar. When Dr. A.T. Pierson asked George Müller if he had ever asked God for anything that had not been granted, he replied, “Sixty-two years, three months, five days and two hours have passed since I began to pray that two men might be converted. I have prayed daily for them ever since and as yet neither of them shows any signs of turning to God.” “Do you expect God to convert them?” “Certainly,” was the reply. “Do you think God would lay on His child such a burden for sixty-two years if He had no purpose for their conversion?” Not long after Müller’s death, Pierson was preaching in Bristol and told of this conversation. At the close of the service, a lady said, “One of those men was my uncle. He was converted recently and died a few weeks ago. The other man was brought to Christ in Dublin.”
