Jesus looked at crowds and saw souls in need of compassion - people who were distressed and dejected like sheep without a shepherd. As Christians, we're called to see beyond the superficial aspects of others and recognize their eternal value. God's compassion reaches the world through us as the body of Christ. While the harvest is abundant with people ready to hear about Jesus, workers are few because many have signed up for church attendance rather than service. The solution is to pray for workers and then become those workers ourselves, taking concrete steps to reach those around us who need Jesus.
