This painting illustrates the sacred moment where Jesus instructs His disciples on the divine work that lies ahead, a reminder that the work is great and the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37-38).

This powerful artwork depicts Jesus seeing the multitude as 'sheep having no shepherd,' and His heart is moved with compassion for their spiritual and physical weariness (Matthew 9:36).

A modern interpretation of Matthew 9:37. Jesus reminds us that the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few, and that the call to serve is a timeless one.
