Compassion and Commission

1) What does Jesus’ compassion in Matthew 9:36 teach us about His heart for people?

2) Why do you think Jesus asked His disciples to pray for more workers before sending them out? What does this reveal about the connection be- tween prayer and mission?

3) Do you feel like a laborer in God’s mission field? Why or why not? Jesus gave His disciples authority and a mission. What does it mean to live as some- one sent with His authority today?

4) The list of apostles includes a diverse group. What does this teach us about unity in the mission of Jesus? What might it look like for you, alongside your brothers and sisters, to live more intentionally as “laborers” in the harvest?
