The Laborers Are Few

Summary

The view of the world that Jesus models for us is compassion. We should not look to wage a war with people over various issues. We should not view the culture with an: us versus them mentality. Instead, we should see all people in the world as harassed and helpless. All people are in need of a shepherd to guide them through the reality of sin and brokenness. All people need a savior. The world is not simply a battleground on which to win a culture war, but a great garden with souls that need to be harvested. As Jesus sends out His disciples, He sends them out with this mission in mind: call the sheep back to the shepherd. Many will ignore you. Some will ridicule you. The mission doesn’t change. All people need to be called into loving relationship with their Father God.
