“At that time the Lord appointed 72 others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them ‘the harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.”
Imagine being one of those sent. Who is your companion, as you go to bring the message of Jesus to someone else? Is your partner the talkative type? To whom will you go, either knocking on a door, stopping by a hospital, saying hello to someone on the street? Isn’t it interesting to wrestle with the answers?
Well, you are one of the lucky ones, not among the seventy-two, but among all the baptized to work in bringing in the harvest. If someone doesn’t do his or her part, the harvest fails, dies, or simply rots. It is out there and the Lord needs people to follow His call as priests and deacons, as religious and committed lay workers, as missionary disciples. The good thing is, we do not do it alone but the Lord accompanies you.
There is work to be done He is asking you to do it. Talk to someone about it today and fulfill your potential.
