Who are the Workers? 23:03

Today we hear from guest preacher Rachel de Jong, a student at Calvin Seminary. Matthew 9:35-38 In Matthew 9:35-38, we read the story of Jesus, traveling through towns and villages, preaching and teaching in the synagogues, healing the sick. Among these journeys, Jesus has compassion on the people, as they were like lost sheep, with no direction as would been seen with a shepherd. In response, Jesus tells his disciples that “the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few,” and instructs them to ask God for workers of the harvest. Who, in this message, does Jesus indicate are the workers? Who will reap the harvest, or be the shepherd among the sheep? How can the church today operate under such a message?

Pastor Mary Sterenberg brings the message today from Matthew 2:1-12. At Christmas, the light of Christ has come into the world. On this second Sunday of Christmas, we focus on the Epiphany story of the Magi who followed the star to find Jesus the King. The Magi followed the light of the Star of Bethlehem. We follow the Light of Christ. In this dark world, others follow us, the light of the world through Christ in us. We have hope because the light of Christ has come into the world. Thanks be to God. Let us keep our whole beings focused on Christ, the light of the world, the hope of the world, and our hope in this new year to come. View the full service on our YouTube channel . Hosted on Acast.
