I love how Jesus likens those of us who he calls to salvation (the elect) to laborers. Sadly, the predominant mentality of many Christians is that the Holy Spirit works for us – to bless us, heal us, fix us, meet our needs, etc. But we are born again to become part of God’s master plan for world evangelization and discipleship – calling others who are idle to join in the labor.
What a powerful parable of the story of Israel, God’s chosen people. They have worked hard to preserve his precepts, and now the Gentiles are invited to carry the burden.
