9:36:38 - what are people supposed to think of this" The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. How can unsaved persons understand this passage" We need to explain the love of God in ways that the 21st century can understand. Matthew 15:32 - Message is care for those who need. It is interesting that Jesus speaks of 3 days of felowship - he was able to know them - and felt compeled to feed them. Matthew 20:29:34 - Key here is that the blind men asked not for their physical sight - but for the ability to have their eyes opened - and MOVED with COMPASSION. That was the right answer for Jesus. I wonder if they had just wanted their eyesite restored, if Jesus would have stopped... remember, their was LOTS of pain and struggle then. The right heart is the difference. Mark 1:40-42 - The leper asked Jesus ``if He was willing``. Once again, moving Jesus to action - due to the heart of the person. Luke 7:12-15 - Can you imagine!! This reminds me of God`s ability to heal us from anything. It gives us hope for a body restored - in heaven. I think the fact that Jesus felt that much compassion for the widow - gives us hope as we pray for our BIG moments of need. But this is more a heavenly promise to me. HOPE!
