Joyful Harvest

The Harvest is so great!

Matthew 9:35-38 (TLB)

³⁵ Jesus traveled around through all the cities and villages of that area, teaching in the Jewish synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And wherever he went he healed people of every sort of illness. ³⁶ And what pity he felt for the crowds that came, because their problems were so great and they didn’t know what to do or where to go for help. They were like sheep without a shepherd.

³⁷ “The harvest is so great, and the workers are so few,” he told his disciples. ³⁸ “So pray to the one in charge of the harvesting, and ask him to recruit more workers for his harvest fields.
