Matthew 9:36-38
And seeing the multitudes, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and downcast like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
Jesus had compassion, once again. Get the workers. Harvest. Growing up on a farm I remember harvest as being a busy time—long days that just wore my Dad out. He would be bone tired, but relieved and I think, proud as he drove the truck full of corn, wheat, or beans to the grain storage. He knew when it sold, we would eat. His hard work had paid off. Before there can be a banquet, there must be a harvest. What are you doing to bring others into the harvest? Is the work just too hard? How many of your friends and neighbors will enjoy the banquet around Jesus’ table?
Lord, help us to be compassionate and to see others as You do. Then, help us be bold to share your good news with them, that they would be part of Your Harvest.
