Episode Description

Matthew 9:35-38, what Jesus knew to be true (the Kingdom of God is Good News) was not communicated because He wanted to win an argument, but because He loved these people. So much of our society wants to "be right" or "prove their point" but it comes from a place of pride. The christian is not led by their opinions, but by a deep conviction that the Gospel is the best news on the earth - that it has transformed them - and a belief that others need to hear of the new life that they long for. But Jesus also presents the problem - while their will be many who need to hear (the harvest is great), there are few workers. Jesus specifically asks the disciples to pray... this is one of the few times that Jesus says "Pray for this!" That should move us to believe it's pretty important.
