Matthew 9:27-38
SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT
OBSERVATION
⬆️ Jesus saw the suffering, pain, and sorrow of His people and was moved with compassion for them (v. 36).
⬆️ Jesus cares about both our spiritual and physical needs (v. 29, 35). He heals our spiritual brokenness (sin) and also addresses our physical ailments.
⬆️ Jesus asks us if we have faith and assures us that according to our faith it will be done to us (v. 28-29). HOWEVER, we must remember the fact that Jesus has never asked about the size of our faith. He said that even with a tiny faith like a grain of mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for us (Matt 17:20)
⬇️ The world is full of people who need spiritual salvation and physical help. They are seeking God and asking His help (v. 27, 36-38).
⬇️ There are those who deliver the Gospel and lead people to Jesus, as well as those who oppose and slander God's work, hindering people from coming to Him (v. 31-34).
⬆️ (38). Jesus desires for more people to join His work of spreading the Gospel, bringing, healing, and helping others. He is looking for laborers for His harvest (v. 38).
APPLICATION

Today, Jesus invites me to join His work. Yes, living a life of compassion following Jesus' example isn't easy, but it brings immense joy and meaning. I must strive to practice His compassion and make the world a warmer and more loving place, a true Kingdom of God.
So, I will practice Jesus' compassion by being attentive to those around me, empathizing with their pain and sorrow, and engaging in good work to help those in need. I will be involved in our church outreach for ...

SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT
35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;
38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
