Mt9

Jesus' one prayer request was that God would raise up laborers in the harvest of souls. Are you an answer to that request? Are you seeking to introduce others to Jesus?

This chapter begins with a group of friends who bring their crippled buddy to be healed by Jesus. Jesus saw "their" faith and healed the crippled man. This man could have never had this encounter with Jesus apart from his friends. They were the ones who provided the opportunity for him to meet Jesus. In many ways, we are the ones who have a similar opportunity with those who we consider friends. They might not be crippled but, without Jesus, they have an even more deadly disease!

Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few." Are you a laborer for the kingdom. Have you introduced anyone to Jesus? What could be more important than that? What could be more satisfying? Make it your goal to be working in God's harvest this year.
