Big Idea of the Message: God calls all of us to follow Him wholeheartedly.
Compassion
So before we can grasp Matthew 10:1-4 we have look back a little bit to Matthew 9 and specifically v. 36 -38;
Before you can have compassion for someone you have to have a concern for their personhood;
Now I understand that people make choices and these choices can put them in sketchy situations however, this does not change Who created them;
Look at Matthew 9:36 again;
Some people, not all, are where they are due to a lack of guidance in their live’s;
Now the church has not been a very helpful guide at times;
Why, because sometimes we are to focused on pointing out sin before we love the sinner;
And then sometimes, more than we want to admit, people in the church are acting just like the sinners they condemn, yes even the one at the pulpit;
Jesus even says “...like sheep having no shepherd.”
meaning that people, lead by religious leaders, turned away from God;
Now we are not called to condone, endorse or elevate sin yet if we started compassion maybe our voices would be heard;
Where is your compassion?
Reason
As Jesus looked at the people, the shepherd less sheep, with compassion He made two points;
Jesus was sharing the “Reason” for what He would do next - send out laborers;
Pastor Jayson and I have been thinking about this question for the last month;
“What is the church?”
Now the immediate answers - or the taught answers should I say - is the gathering of like minded people or the individual Christian;
Now these answers in not necessarily wrong and has a lot of validity;
But consider this for a moment;
“The church is the movement of God”
God moves His people to move His word into a dying world;
But what happens when “The Church” does not fulfill it’s “Reason” commissioned by Jesus;
Jesus told His disciples, in Pastor Tim wording “the harvest is plentiful but the workers not so much”;
When the church does not breath God’s word it will become unresponsive which can lead to death;
Are you fulfilling your “Reason”?
Mission
Now as we get to where we began - Jesus called His disciples (apostles) to go under His authority to fill the need of laborers;
They were to leave the comfort of His presence to enter into fields ripe for harvest;
They were to be His movement to the lost tribes of Israel;
And they were to depend completely on God;
Are you ready for your “Mission”?
Application Point: How is God calling you to sacrificially serve Him?
