Today's Verse:
kjv@Matthew:9:35 kjv@Matthew:9:36 kjv@Matthew:9:37 kjv@Matthew:9:38 Where has the clergy been throughout the long downfall of Israel/Judah? Where were they when the Judges needed them? When the Kings needed them? When the Prophets expected them to rally on the servant of God's behalf? When the nation needed them? Where has been the benefit of their moral compass been? Their wise raising of the future generations? Their scriptural advice and counsel? Where did they stand while the high priests of other religions infested their temples and liturgy? Those that have just accused blasphemy and satanic alliance are the same of those that Jesus is accusing of leaving the masses shepherd-less, faint, scattered abroad. Quick they are to judge a true Shepherd while ignoring the stark evidence of their abandonment of the people and the peoples abandonment of them. Perhaps the proof is that man cannot be this kind of shepherd to the masses that the masses need, only the Great Shepherd Himself can. The sadness is that in their rush to be the shepherd they have disallowed Him from being "The Shepherd". Here is a strong conceptual connection between the Shepherd and the Lord of the harvest, the flock and the laborers. He doesn't say pray for more shepherds, He says to pray for more laborers. What does a laborer do that there would be so few? Further Resources: Comment Board:Matthew:9:35-38
