Matthew 9:32-38
The crowd was amazed and said,"Nothing like this has ever seen in Israel." The man who had been mute spoke.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest filed.
This is Matthew's second teaching section and other parallel passages.
Jesus' pity for the people, God's 'harvest', leads straight into the account of his selection of the 'Twelve'
Why?
Jesus who 1)preaching the good news of the kingdom. 2)driving out demon-possessed men, 3)healing every disease and sickness, Who can do it like Jesus, Jesus is son of God.
Crowd follow Jesus, but Jesus had not proud or joy but with compassion on them. Like there are crowd in Tainan who like sheep without a shepherd, They are harassed and helpless.
Harassed and helpless: Wondering and no way to go, lost direction, grasping anything they can touched.
All of those harvest are belong to the Lord, so to be God's work needs pray to the Lord and work with the Lord.
How?
Preaching the goo news of the kingdom, this is my mission from the Lord. Do it like Jesus.
