1. Our text marks a significant transition in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. Until this point, His disciples have been listeners and onlookers. As for ministry, the Lord Jesus Himself has done the teaching and preaching. His disciples have been listening and observing. He has been preparing them for ministry. Now, He began to move them to personal involvement and ministry. As He makes this transition, He shows them a reason and need for ministry.
2. Oswald J. Smith, in his book ''The Challenge of Life,'' gave his testimony about when he saved and how he wanted to serve God. He was just a teenager, but he had a burning in his heart to do something for God. He began by starting a Sunday School in his own home. He wrote, ''So, with the help of my mother, I started a Sunday School and invited the children from the surrounding farms, and they came Sunday after Sunday.'' He then added, ''I cannot understand a man professing to be saved and not wanting to do something for the Lord Jesus.''?
3. Our Lord's call for the involvement of His disciples is a call for our involvement as well. It is a call for every believer to be involved in our Lord's work. Like Smith, I believe that if one has been saved, there will be a desire to do something for God. Every believer has a place in God's work, and every believer should be involved in Christian service.?
4. Let's look closer at the scene given to us in Matthew 9:36-38. First, notice with me:?
