So I'm reading 3 John this morning
and I come across this passage again: "Beloved, you are acting faithfully
in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are
strangers; and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do
well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. For they went out for
the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles."
It is verse 8 that caught my
attention: "Therefore we ought to support such men so that we may be
fellow workers with the truth."
Isn't it a great encouragement to
know that we can be co-laborers with others in sharing the good news of Jesus
Christ?
Most of us are unable to go on
missionary journeys, whether out of the country or within the country. But God
gives each of us the privilege to share in the work of the gospel as we support
with our tithes and offerings others who can go.
And so, knowing this to be true,
when we hear the voice of God as did Isaiah, "Whom shall I send, and who
will go for us?" We are able to also answer the question with the same
words as Isaiah, "Here am I. Send me."
Thanks be to God for permitting us
to work in His fields that are white into harvest.
