“Go... and
Make Disciples”
A FARMER faces a real challenge. Some months earlier,
he plowed his fields and sowed seeds. He watched with
great care as the first blades appeared, and he rejoiced
as the plants matured. Now all his hard work is rewarded,
for the time to reap has arrived. His dilemma is this:
The crop is too abundant for him to gather it alone. To
meet this challenge, he wisely decides to hire some workers
and send them out into his fields. After all, there is
only so much time to gather his precious crop.
2 In the spring of 33 C.E., the resurrected Jesus faces a
similar challenge. During his earthly ministry, he sowed
1-3. (a) What does a farmer do when the crop is too abundant for
him to gather it alone? (b) What challenge does Jesus face in the
spring of 33 C.E., and how does he meet it?
What can the farmer do if the crop is too
abundant for him to gather it alone?
