]]> Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.

“he that reapeth receiveth wages” (KJV) Who is “he that reapeth?” What wages does he receive:

  1. in this physical realm? (Joy)
  2. in heaven? (Commendation from the Lord)

“and gathereth fruit unto life eternal” (KJV) is the gathering of lost souls.

“rejoice together” (KJV) show that there is no competition between the sower and the reaper; the one is just completing the work of the other and both may rejoice in the resulting fruit.

Psalm 126:5-6 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.  He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.
