In Matthew 9:18-38, we read about Jesus' healing ministry.
At the end of Matthew 9, there's a reminder to us that the Lord's work
is to be carried on by His followers - "The harvest is large, but the
workers are few. So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers
to harvest His crops" (Matthew 9:37-38). Jesus wasn't saying, 'Look at
what I am doing and see how great I am." He was saying, 'Look at what I
am doing and learn from Me - learn how to see the crowds with
compassion, to see them in their trouble, to see how helpless they are -
"like sheep without a shepherd" (Matthew 9:36). We are to be looking at
Jesus and learning from Him. We are to be looking at the world and
seeing how we can serve the world for Jesus' sake (2 Corinthians 4:5).
