“And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.”
'Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. — the harvest imagery applies to missionary work: the reaper (evangelist) receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life. The eschatological note—sower and reaper rejoice together—suggests that the harvest belongs to the end time, yet it happens in the present through Jesus' revelation.
