the Labourers are few

The Labourers are few.

“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.  
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” 
Matthew 9:35-38.

Where are you when it comes to working for Christ? Here Jesus points out a simple fact. “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”
The facts even today are that approximately only 10% of all those who go to church actually do work around the church. The rest just fill the pews.
In the city were I live we seem to have a church on every corner. As a result people tend to “church hop”.
People move from church to church looking to have a “feel good moment”. When they enter church.
People want to have that up lifting experiences in church. Many don’t like it when a sermon hits home.
When a sermon convicts the individual of their sin or something their lacking in.
Many when they fail to get that Sunday high move to another church congregation in the hopes of getting the fix there.
Many people in church have a lot of things going on outside of Church. They’re involved in everything from sports, to ballet, to working. Their commitment to the work of God comes last on their list.
You only have to look at statistics within the church to see that things in the church are not that much different to the society outside.
We as Christians need to put Christ and His work first in our lives. We need to be working as much as we can for the kingdom of God. And we need to “ Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Think about it.
