About this listen

 Jesus traveled through towns and villages teaching, proclaiming the kingdom, and healing diseases, showing compassion for crowds who were 'harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd.' He saw people crushed and exhausted under religious burdens rather than experiencing freedom. Jesus shifted metaphors to describe a plentiful harvest with too few workers, emphasizing that God's kingdom transforms sheep into shepherds. The message challenges believers to stop living as harassed sheep and start laboring as apprenticed harvesters, tending the fields God has entrusted to them—whether family, marriage, or workplace—to help others find freedom in Christ.
