Matthew 9: 35- 38: 10: 9- 10
In our text, Jesus uses a metaphor to convey a powerful message to his disciples.
Within the confines of this chapter, we find Jesus extremely occupied with his father's business,
In the latter part of verse 35, Jesus is preaching the gospel of the Kingdom and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
a. Verses 2-7 He heals a paralyzed man.

5.
In verse 37 Jesus metaphorically describes the multitude as a harvest.
a.In Jewish culture harvesting was a great task!!
b.
Gathering the Harvest usually took place between April and June!
6. Look at John's analogy of the Harvest,... John 4:35 Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then comes the Harvest?
Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest!
7. What Jesus is saying in Matthew 9:37 and John 4:35
There are scores of people in the world ready to be gathered into God's storehouse, but there are only a few of God's people willing to do the job!
WHY????????
Agriculture in Jesus day was tough work!
John 4:36 & 37 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper may rejoice together.
37.
For here the saying holds true, One sow and another reaps.
All of this says to me, that the seed must be sown in order to reap the benefits of God’s Great Harvest!!
This is not what Jesus would say if he were here, but what he is saying because he is here!
We are Bound By God's law of sowing and reaping when it comes to evangelism!

ENLARGE YOUR FIELD read it (v.
35-36)
When Jesus saw the multitudes, he had compassion for them.
1. Can you see the multitudes?
Distressed and stressed out
Perplexed by religious matters
Who are upset and frustrated.
Lonely and unhappy.
Lost and confused
B) These are times of fast food and slow digestion;
Tall men and short on character;
Steep profits and shallow relationships.
C) We spend too recklessly;
laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly,
stay up too late, get up too tired,
read too seldom, watch too much TV and pray to Seldom.
D) We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.
We've conquered outer space, but not Inner Space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
E).
There is a multitude of people that need the Lord!
F).
People are all stressed up and have nowhere to go!
G).
This is when our compassion should kick in, WE HAVE THE ANSWER to all manner of spiritual sickness and every Spiritual disease among people!
JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
H).
We should see people as Jesus saw them.
He saw them distressed, lost, and downcast!
He saw them as sheep having no Shepherd.
Hopeless without Him!
When we see people as Jesus saw them we will ENLARGE OUR FIELDS.
How can we enlarge our fields?
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore and teach All Nations
Mark 16:15 Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature
EXPAND OR EXPIRE
II.
EXPAND YOUR FORCES read it (v.
37 & 38)
When we get a larger view of the Lord's fields then we will need more workers
