This message flips our perspective on people we often overlook. Instead of seeing crowds as draining, needy, or inconvenient, Jesus calls them the harvest—valuable, wanted, and worth our effort. Matthew 9 shows Jesus moved by compassion, not frustration, and He invites us to see people the same way.
The church isn’t a storage bin for the already-fixed; it’s a place where the broken and the workers stand side-by-side. As we head into the holidays, this challenge becomes even more urgent: notice the unseen, respond with compassion, welcome the hurting, and stop being picky about who deserves our time.
Sow generously. Love widely. Create space for growth.
Because the harvest is bigger—and closer—than we think.
