Ministry:
"Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.'" ( Matthew 9:35-38 )
The laborers for His harvest are those who provide ministry to those in need. Ministry comes in many forms. Some provide ministry through religious vocations while others provide ministry through any offering of time, talent, or treasure through which to spread His Word and care for those in need. We should ask ourselves, how might we become His laborers?
We are all called to assist with His work, for as we have received ministry, so do we have the ability to share of ourselves for the blessings of others. It is not just those poor in the ways of the world who are in need, but those who lack understanding of His Word. Our ministry must care for those who are ill, afflicted or hungry; but we must also consider those who are well off in the ways of the world, but in need of nourishment for the soul. It is not enough to provide the means of the world, for if we live without the nourishment for the soul, we will not know His light and our eternity will be consumed by darkness.
Blessed are those who receive the blessings of His Word, for within, they shall find the keys to His kingdom.
