📖 "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (the Gospel) of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. When He saw the throngs, He was moved with pity and sympathy for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.” -Matthew 9:35-38 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
Jesus was all about His Father’s business when He was here on earth. He went about teaching, preaching, and healing. Despite His efforts, Jesus still recognized that He could not do it alone. Later, He commissioned His twelve disciples and seventy others to go out and do the same thing that He was doing. Jesus was moved because He saw the state of the people. Despite all He was doing, so many more people were distressed, dejected, and helpless. Things have not changed. The same devil that harassed and oppressed back then is still doing it today. The harvest is still plentiful, but unfortunately, the laborers are still few. We must step up as believers. We must receive the ministry of reconciliation that has been given to us. We must continue the work of Jesus and go about teaching, preaching, and healing. We must go out and reap the harvest of souls that are ready to receive Jesus. The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few.
