Easter 2016 reflections: Lord of the Harvest by ric Gustafson
Today's bible reading is Matthew 9: 36-38. Our natural tendency is to shy away from helping people in need. We are not hard hearted but feel that helping others can be demanding. Helping others is exactly what Jesus wants us to do. Jesus had compassion when he saw helpless crowds. He asked his disciples to pray that more compassionate people would serve them.
We are chosen by God through his Son to be his workers in the world. Our mission is clear. We are called to care for others in the name of Jesus. We are called to meet the spiritual and physical needs of others.
Praise God that I can be a laborer in his Harvest.
