God uses His people as gatherers. If He was still using the shepherd analogy, we might be called His "under" shepherds. From a farming perspective, we are the workers who are sent into the field to harvest His crop. Jesus explains that we are to go out and reap a harvest; one that He has already grown. What does that look like and how are we to do it? This is what Jesus is going to explain to His disciples as He prepares them for their mission.
