Welcome to the Parish of Modbury and Golden Grove

Volunteers for Jesus Matthew 9: 35–10:8

 

In today's Gospel, Jesus looks upon the crowds with deep compassion because they are "harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." He sees their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and His heart goes out to them. Jesus then tells His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few," calling them to pray that God would send workers into His harvest field. What is striking is that after telling them to pray, Jesus sends the disciples themselves. Those who pray for workers become the workers. Jesus equips them with His authority and sends them to share God's love, healing, and hope with others.

 

The same call comes to us today. God places people around us who need

encouragement, compassion, friendship, and the good news of Jesus Christ. We may serve through organised ministries in the church or through simple acts of kindness in daily life. Jesus reminds us, "Freely you have received; freely give." Christian service flows from gratitude for God's grace. We do not serve to earn God's love; we serve because we have already received His forgiveness, mercy, and salvation through Christ.

 

As followers of Jesus, we are invited to become willing workers in God's harvest, sharing His love wherever He has placed us.
