The Laborers are few!!!!

Matthew 9:36,37,&38

 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 

Then saith he unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. 

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into the harvest.

I have read this many times and I did not quite understand it until now. 

The harvest are the people who are seeking to be saved. The laborers are the ministers and preachers of Jesus Christ. So as a people we must pray that God will send us ministers and preachers who are willing to (toil because it is hard work) send us the true word and save those who are lost, or broken or scattered. Without a shepherd we cannot go forward or backwards. So many of us are dependent on others to move forward, but as soon as we know the word and understand that Jesus came and died for our sins, we are to go out and minister to others. The dread of eternal fire should be in our hearts and on our tongue. Willing to save souls and as the bible says," not willing to see not even the hem of their garment be burned by the flames. This is not make belief, Gods word is true and we will all one day see him either to be saved by him or to be condemned by him. May This reminder be a Blessing to someone.
