Jesus, fully God and fully man, is still only one man. He knows that the opportunities for pastoral ministry are endless, but those willing to partner in the work with Him are few. He instructed His disciples to pray that more workers would be sent into His harvest.
When these ordinary people prayed, they probably thought that God would send experts from religious institutions in Jerusalem or super-spiritual people like John the Baptist to do this work. Jesus certainly wouldn’t choose them to be the fulfillment of their prayer…would He? As we continue our study from Matthew 9 to Matthew 10, we read that Jesus did just that—calling gloriously ordinary people, equipping them for ministry, and sending them out as ambassadors for Him. And first on this list was Simon, who is called Peter. Watch our study from Sunday as we consider this fisherman from Galilee who became a fisher of men only through the transformation that Jesus made in his life. Comments are closed.
