When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his
disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord
of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Matthew 9:36-38
Jesus saw that the people were helpless. . . His heart went out to them
and as a result, He took action! Hundreds of thousands of people needed
to know the Savior, so He sent His followers to go out to the people
and share about the Kingdom of God. Jesus' disciples were "His feet"
going out to share the Good News, "His hands" ministering and healing
the people, and "His mouth" telling others about Him. They may have
been few in number, but they had a radical impact on the world!
Today, we are called to be "Jesus' feet" going out into the world to
share the Good News that God loves men, women, and children. . . and
He wants to have a relationship with them. We are called to be "Jesus
hands" ministering, serving and spiritually healing those who are
hurting. And we are called to be "Jesus' mouth", having a ready answer
on the tip of our tongue as to why we have hope for the future.
Who around you needs a relationship with God? Are you being God's feet
and going to them? Are you being His hands and reaching out, listening,
empathizing with them, and developing a relationship? And are you
being Jesus' mouth, sharing the most important message of all time. .
that Jesus Christ died to pay the price for the sins of all men and
women?
We may be few in number, but we can have a radical impact now and in
eternity!
