Jesus tells us the sower and the reaper, because they are doing the will of the father both receive the same reward and they both rejoice, because while they have different parts to play, the have the same shared objective. What is that common goal?
The HARVEST! The sower doesn't go into the field for the sheer joy of throwing seed around. The reaper doesn't go their because he says I like to cut things, both of them go into the field looking forward to the harvest. In the same way, a preacher doesn't or at least shouldn't be preaching because he likes the sound of his own voice, the evangelist shouldn't be evangelizing because he wants to boast about souls he has one. The harvest and the desire to do the will of their Master should be what animates both of them.
To put it in the simplest possible terms, we should be sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, and praying, because we want to see a rich harvest of souls brought into the kingdom. Because we want to see men and women from all around the world go to heaven and not hell.
