Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into this harvest.”
Matthew 9:35-38
There is so much to do to help people. When Jesus went out He saw the people who were sad and broken and sick and He ministered to them.
When we meet someone who is having a rough time, we are not to run away, but to run to them. We need to listen to them and encourage them. If we know where they can get help, we need to offer that information to them.
And, above all we need to remember their names and pray for them.
