DISTRACTED VISION
     "Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest?'"

• the Christian's vision can be DISTRACTED by the SINFUL and the SECULAR

• the Christian's vision can be DISTRACTED by SELFISHNESS and STUBBORNNESS

DIRECTED VISION
     "Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest."

• Christ directs our spiritual eyes to the RIPENESS of the harvest

• Christ directs our spiritual eyes to the REAPING of the harvest

• Christ directs our spiritual eyes to the RETAINING of the harvest

• Christ directs our spiritual eyes to the REINVESTING of the harvest

DIGESTED VISION
     "Even now... even now..."

• there must be spiritual OWNERSHIP... we must CATCH the vision

• there must be spiritual OBESSION... we must be CONSUMED by the vision

DETERMINED VISION
     "The reaper... harvests the crop for eternal life..."

• we must work toward our vision with DEDICATION and DETERMINATION and DILIGENCE

• we must work toward our vision with DISCERNMENT

DELIGHTFUL VISION
     "The sower and the reaper may be glad together."

• there is joy in seeing an INDIVIDUAL REDEEMED

• there is joy in seeing the INCREASING RANKS

• there is joy in seeing our INVESTMENT REWARDED
