When Jesus saw the multitude of people he had compassion upon them because they were like sheep without a shepherd.  They had been harassed and distressed by the Devil and all that is in the world.  One thing is for certain is that God loves humanity.  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life. God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.  Unfortunately, there are two realities that many do not want to come to grips with.  One reality is that there is an eternal judgment for those who die without Christ.  It is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment.  God will by no means let the guilty go unpunished.  Therefore, knowing the terror of the Lord we persuade men.  The second reality is Jesus is the only way to God.  Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no man comes to the Father but by me."  Neither is their salvation in any other for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. If there was another way do you think that Jesus would have had to die on the cross?  Jesus prayed to the Father, in so many words, "If there be any other way, let this cup (of suffering) pass from me." but, there was no other way.  The only way was for the obedience of THE ONE to be the representative of us all.  Jesus is the only way to God. I know this is a hard line and is a narrow way, but the road to life is narrow and only a few find it. If this is the case, which I believe is, that there is a fiery judgment for those who die without faith Christ and that faith in Jesus is the only way to God then we have a tremendous obligation to tell everyone around us about Christ and what He did for us.

I think it grieves the Spirit for us to have an unburdened heart towards the lost.  To be indifferent towards them, and not to care if they come to faith in Christ or not.  It should consume us in every aspect of our life, faith, and practice to bear witness of what God has done in your life through your faith in Christ.  Imagine if you had discovered the cure to AIDS or all Cancer  would you keep it to yourself or only it share it with those who you felt would receive it?  What if some people didn't believe you that you had found the cure, would that stop you from telling anyone?  It is the will of the Father that we finish the work that Jesus started on this earth.  What is that?  Not the atonement, but reconciling man to God.  For God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself and has now given us a ministry of reconciliation.  Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest."  What does that mean four more months and then comes the harvest?  He is saying "don't say ah we have time before harvest comes.  It's only Summer it is not harvest season yet.  Don't procrastinate and don't be deceived for God says, the fields are white unto harvest, meaning they are ready to be reaped!  People are ready to be saved!  All they are waiting on is for someone to tell them.  How shall they hear without a preacher?  You are that preacher!  You are the one that can testify and bear witness of the grace and goodness of God!  In the words of the great singer song writer Keith Green:  "How can you be so numb not to care if they come?  Don't close your eyes and pretend the job is done."  It is God's desire for all to come to repentance and He is using you and me to reach them with the good news.  Don't have an unburdened heart for the lost for that grieves the heart of God.
