Ok so I picked up in Matthew where I left off. I think this is good for me to read. Besides the fact that it is the words of Jesus, it is something I think everyone who is in ministry needs to think about. Matthew 24 and 25 are all about Jesus second coming. They are critiqued and looked at for there eschatology. There is way more there for us to see. It is all about how are we living today. Jesus is saying I am coming back, but don’t just wait for me, live for me.
I grew up in the church. I grew up as a P.K. I am not sure I can remember a time when I was not involved in the church (place you attend). I have been in full or part time ministry now for about 10 years. I think sometimes I get so involved with the everyday of “church” that I forget about the church. It is about the people. Not paint or carpet colors. It is about the people who know Jesus and the people who do not know Jesus. The ones who do not know Jesus are not apart of the church, but maybe they would be if I was not so focused on the color of things or how they were arranged. We need to recognize who the least of these is. Who are they among us and how are we serving them.
Wow, everything always gets back to us serving. Not being served. It always comes back to how we are living for Jesus. How we are serving in his name.
