*UNDERSTANDING THE ACTS AND WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST (98)*
_Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."_ (Matt 9:37-38). Jesus' amazing sermons and miracles lead to huge groups gathering around Him everywhere He goes. As He looks out over the crowd, our Messiah is filled with a profound and deep compassion. He sees how lost the people around Him are, like sheep being led astray without a shepherd. By seeing people lost, Jesus isn't telling us about the lack of Google maps back then. Instead, this is God's metaphor. It describes how every person is spiritually lost without the Good Shepherd - that is, without Jesus. In addition, Jesus is also holding the failed spiritual leaders of Israel accountable for willfully leading people astray.
Jesus then turns to His disciples, telling them the harvest is already abundant. However, there is only a small handful of laborers willing to go out to gather the ready crops. By this, the Son of God is actually saying there's in fact a ripe harvest of spiritually lost people. They are hungry to know God's Kingdom and yearn for a good shepherd to lead them. However, rather than point them to Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, most believers do not actively reach out to share the Good News of salvation with them. But Jesus offers a heavenly solution to this labor shortage. He tells His followers to humbly pray to God, asking Him to call upon more workers to share the Gospel and bring home the spiritually lost.
God doesn't technically need our help for anything. I mean, He's God after all. However, He has chosen to freely invite all His believers to be joyous co-laborers of His spiritual harvest. Thus, any follower of Christ can get involved in God's work in helping the lost back home to the Father. Yes, this includes each of us today! Amid the chaos and untruths of modern life, people are in need of Jesus to bring true peace to their lives. Perhaps now more than any other period in history! Let's be aggressively intentional with evangelism.
*EXCELLENCE KEY* 🗝️
_God welcomes all of us to be proactive in spreading the Good News of His Kingdom to others. We should take initiative, as the Holy Spirit leads._
