Weekly Reflection

The Laborers are Few

07-06-2025  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1

The harvest is abundant," Jesus begins, likely sending feelings of joy and anticipation rippling through the gathering (Luke 10:2). "But the laborers are few," he continues, "Behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves" (10:2-3). That puts a damper on things! Then he sends them off on this daunting work with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

But he has given them something much greater than what they could put in a money bag or sack: the power to proclaim that the kingdom of God is near. Indeed, they return rejoicing, having cured the sick and driven out demons. These are truly signs of the kingdom. We are those laborers for the kingdom now. We can bring peace to our households by offering forgiveness and understanding. We can heal suffering by giving comfort and care to those in need.

We can drive out the demons of sin, injustice, and oppression when we work to defeat them. It is not easy. Saint Paul attests to that when he says that he bears the marks of Jesus on his body. But the reward is great, for the power of Jesus' cross, of which Paul boasts, makes God's harvest of souls into the kingdom abundant.

What will you do to help manifest the kingdom of God in this world?

Los Obreros son Pocos

La cosecha es abundante", comienza Jesús, probablemente infundiendo alegría y anticipación en la reunión (Lucas 10:2). "Pero los obreros son pocos", continúa, "iMiren, los envío como corderos en medio de lobos!" (10:2-3). ¡Eso empaña las cosas! Luego los envía a esta ardua tarea con solo la ropa que llevan puesta.

Pero les ha dado algo mucho mayor de lo que podrían meter en una bolsa o un costal: el poder de proclamar que el reino de Dios está cerca. De hecho, regresan gozosos, tras haber curado a los enfermos y expulsado demonios. Estas son verdaderas señales del reino. Nosotros somos esos obreros del reino ahora. Podemos traer paz a nuestros hogares ofreciendo perdón y comprensión. Podemos sanar el sufrimiento brindando consuelo y cuidado a los necesitados.

Podemos expulsar los demonios del pecado, la injusticia y la opresión cuando nos esforzamos por vencerlos. No es fácil. San Pablo lo atestigua cuando dice que lleva las marcas de Jesús en su cuerpo. Pero la recompensa es grande, pues el poder de la cruz de Jesús, del que Pablo se jacta, hace abundante la cosecha de almas de Dios para el reino.

¿Qué harás para ayudar a manifestar el reino de Dios en este mundo?
