(Matthew 9:37) Then He said to His disciples, "the harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few...

(Proverbs 2:8-9) He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.

It is difficult for me to discern the difference in the willful responsibility of each as well as the catalyst to the calling.

Can someone help me to distinguish between the two? GB

For the first one, is when JESUS knew there was a plentiful harvest, said HE to HIS disciples ~ those who are undergoing Holy spiritual teaching and training (HOLY SPIRIT's spiritual theory and practical training), with the MESSIAH. JESUS instructed them to bring in the harvest, for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand. They are sent ahead of JESUS to make a straight path in all men, in order for JESUS to come later and baptize with HOLY SPIRIT and Fire as proclaim by John the Baptist about the MESSIAH, the Passover Lamb of GOD.

And about the second, in that Saints are referred to the chosen Apostles, journeying after and for JESUS, on their own, being filled with HOLY SPIRIT and fire, also together laboring in GOD's building and plantation (that is referred to, 'A Gathering'), which is through them the established and 'abiding' church in 'The Way', those who journeyed together with them, who together endured tribulation and persecution, in this world of wretchedness, for righteousness sake, in the hands of the ignorant ones of satan
