When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 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.” Matthew 9:36-38

Jesus wanted His disciples to see the need of the multitudes. They were sheep without a shepherd, and they needed to be led and guided. There was a plentiful harvest, and there were few workers to bring it in. Jesus wants the disciples to recognize the need for workers.

We practically deny the truth of Jesus’ words whenever we think, “He wouldn’t want to hear about Christ!” “She would be offended if I talked to her about spiritual things!” How do you know that? Jesus said that the harvest is plentiful. It’s God’s job to open hearts to the gospel (Acts 16:14). It’s our job to go into the harvest field and seek to reap a crop. So Jesus saw the great need of lost people. He saw the great harvest of lost people.

The opportunities are vast, for the harvest is plentiful, but to be an instrument for the Lord you have to first see the need and have the compassion of Christ for sinners. Second, beseech the Lord for workers to meet those needs, and then third, do whatever the Lord wants you to do. Ask the Lord what is your purpose. State your intentions.

I challenge you in each of these areas. First, get on your knees and pray for the Lord to open your eyes to what is around you, what is happening currently and fill you with His compassion for this sinful world. Second, stay on your knees and plead with Him for workers to labor in his vineyard and third, seek out what He wants you to do, seek out your purpose he has bestowed upon you and then do it whether it be something grand or small. If you are faithful in a little, He will entrust to you greater work in the future.
