Matthew 10:1-4 – The Unlikely Ones

​All of us are called to glorify God in all that we do—no matter the specific call God has for our life. Whether you’re an artist, teacher, banker, plumber, or pastor, God’s call on your life is no less holy and no more sacred than anybody else’s call. The key to bringing God glory is seeing our calling as from Him and for Him. It’s for Him that we work and labor. 

No matter where or to what He has called you, the opportunity for pastoral ministry is plentiful. But those willing to actually do the work and labor are few. We know this because Jesus said it was so. And after He encouraged His disciples to pray for more workers, He sent them to do this work. Those that He sent weren’t the religious elites. They were ordinary people who had been with Him. 

People probably questioned Jesus about His invitation to the unlikeliest ones to join Him in the good work of The Good Shepherd. And yet, it was His plan so that He would receive the glory. Watch our study of Matthew 10:1-4 as we consider why Jesus chose the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise and the weak things of the world to put to shame the mighty things.
