Who are the labourers and why are they few? Jesus came not only to bring us salvation but also to show us what He was like and to represent His Father perfectly. The parable of the Good Samaritan is the way Jesus uses to describe labourers. Then, in the parable of Martha and Mary, He shows us how to become one. Jesus goes on to explain about mercy, compassion and authority, all the things we receive when we are in Christ.
